My friend and I each have a pair of the original twin tip (for those who don't know line 1260s were the first ski to have the same tail and tip rocker) and we can't find anything or anyone else who has them. They are around 25years old. In my experience the flex pattern is 686.
What else do you need to know? The ones pictured in your post came predrilled for use with Line’s binding “Reactor”. You could mount it yourself. But it was crazy heavy. And would come loose all the time. A cool, but failed experiment.
The thing is you can find them all over marketplace and stuff but there is nothing on them online. I got mine for 70$ he got his for 60$ and last week there was a pair for70$
You are a bit off on some of your details. Those pictured are from 2003 / 04, so a ways away from being 25 years old (Line itself as a brand is 27 years old). Rocker was not even a word at the time of the 1260, I think you mean the same tip and tail height, not rocker. The skis were very narrow and full cambered, I had 153's and pretty sure they were 76 underfoot and barely over 100 in the tip. Definitely a rail specific ski being so narrow, it also did fairly well in the bumps.
I had a pair of 05's which was the last year they made them.

Definitely had these skis! Thanks for sharing and bringing back the memories. As someone mentioned, line was the first brand to give a true twin to the market. Tip and tail heights matched where other brands still only turned the tail up a little bit. For those of us those who skied park during the early 2000s - line became the benchmark for park skis because of this.
Flex pattern, or lack there of, was not really a thing for us at that point in time. I remember everything just being stiff as a board those years. We weren’t really getting down with butters or modern tricks and the industry was just kind of figuring out that “twin tips” weren’t just another fad in skiing. It was hard enough to get a brand to make a park ski, let alone make one with a proper rocker profile.
If you ever want to give these skis a new home hit me up - I’d be happy to acquire them!

I use these skis to help get people into park. Something about the stiffness lightness and being able to easily go backwards when they first try them gets them excited, I've loaned them out to three beginners that used to use rentals and they liked learning in them more than on my wets. So I like to keep them and an extra pair of boots around to share the love I guess, and it has worked! Two of those people now have their own park skis and are still on beginner rails and the third got some down hill skis (he's old but I got him out of rentals) so not really for sale.

That’s super awesome! Great ski for that for sure.
LippamaniWhat would you say the flex pattern is like.
I wish I could remember honestly, the 153 length I had was very stiff like someone else had said. I was also 14 at the time so….. yea haha. That pair you’ve got looks great though, I’m a little jealous.
My friend jacksparrow just picked up some 153 1260s today we'll have to test them out and see what we think of the flex.
He is going to upload more soon.
Just picked up some 153cm 1260s locally and noticed that mine didn't have the predrilled holes like the other ones I have seen, and these have camber and the other ones I've seen are flat. Does anyone know which ones are older, mine or the OPs?
