so ive been into line for a good while now, but their shit just wont hold up for me. its not like im breaking skis, im just skiing them, and they delaminate. im onto my third pair of warrantied skis in less than three seasons, all for delaminating. i like em and all, but i just cant stand behind a company whos skis cant hold up to regular park use. plus their topsheets are super soft, not a good quality for a park ski, and ive had many good size chunks taken out of them just grabbing in the air, let alone falling. i dunno, i think ive given up on them. anyone else had similar problems?

so let me get this straight, you cant stand behind line because when you fall your skis hit TOGETHER taking 'chunks' out of your ski?

i wouldnt think that skis would delminate that frequently. and i also believe that a park ski should have a beefier topsheet than lines, 4 inch long gauges in the topsheet seems a bit strange for me without falling on them.

my 4frnts are the same deal I've ridden prolly 30 days on them and the topsheet is more fucked up than my pocketrockets that I rode for 100 days, actualy now that I look at them my pocketrockets took no damage whatsoever from me riding them, too bad they are noodles and skinny

ive got some mavericks and they hold up great relative to how much thrashing they recieve. yeah ofcourse i have chunks of topsheet missing. thats the price i pay for time in the park.

Sorry I'm late, I was out spoiling my liver.

I've got Skogens from 00, and they are holding up great. They have scratches all over the top, but its nothing major. They've even been run over by some duesche who didn't wait for me to scrape my ass off a landing before hitting a jump.
The worst damage is a cracked edge from a rail, and a gouge to the wood where some screaming girl ran over my skis from behind and took us both out, the bitch.

thats alot for skis to be breaking, but if they keep warrantying them you might want to stick with them. You dont want to switch companies, have the skis break, n then be stuck with no waranty
