Mike rode lines in the Open, still on contract or something like that or was the thing just a bullshit rumor?

i have to much ADD to read this whole thread, but whoever said that Line Reactors dont suck... sucks... Bibby broke 3 pairs at the Open and had to ski his finals run on K2s... every pair i have seen has broken in less than 2 weeks on pro riders or not... And i believe, not 100% sure, but i think Ashley Battersby broke her wrist because the bindings pre realased so she fell and broke it... i dunno though. i havent seen a pair that have held up yet. I also heard a story about a kid who prereleased when he wasnt supposed to and in doing so broke his tib/fib when he landed... so yea Line Bindings = bad...

again its because its new technology they come under such speculation. you dont think anybody has ever broken a tib or fib prereleasing before in the history of skiing? but because he was riding the reactors they are somehow to blame right? wrong, that shit happens regardless of what you are riding on, its coincidence in my opinion.

weather reactors are lousy or not ( i don't know cause i've never skied them) wilson should have stuck it out with Line. Line has supported him since the developing stages of his career, back when he was just a kid. Now is his chance to support Line while they are developing a new product that may not be good YET, but that they hope will grow the industry and their company. What does he do? bails out. that's weak. pros have only had to ride those bindings for a season so far. he'll won't give line more than one lousy season? how many seasons did line give him before he started to become what is is today? i'm not defending the bindings themselves, cause i haven't ridden them, but from my point of view, wilson's decision was selfish.

/\ although i agree with you and you make a strong point we don't know all of the details. there could be more to it than just wilson not wanting to ride the bindings.

Well sopposobly he wont get paid if he doesnt ride the bindings, so i mean according to some people here, riding the binding is not an option, and not getting paid isnt really an option either seeing how a kid needs to eat, so the story is, hes hungry

^^ youre right, we don't know the whole story, so i guess i shouldn't speculate... it must have been something drastic though, for him to leave mid-season.

I have ridden the reactors so don't tell me to shut the fuck up. In a period of less than a month (3 weeks) they broke twice. The second time they broke was when all I did was lock in.When they did work, they were pretty sweet but other than that just a shitty experience.

i don't understand how people can hate on mike wilson. I mean it's one thing to hate someones attitude and how they act and thats ok but dude you gotta give credit where credits due you know what i mean? the kid is ridiculous at skiing who else can pull a fucking wilson flip and for people who say the the wilson flip is gay...why are huge spins and double flips gay?
