topsheets dont matter. that damage was done by you, not lines fault.

Word, hitting edges into the topsheet causes this kind of shit, that does look a little excessive for 3 days, but depending on what kind of skiing you're doing, I'm not surprised.

There's a reason the Chronics are more expensive.

invaders are giving line such a bad rep. all their other skis are sick and bombproof, this is just what happens when you try to make to rad of a ski for too cheap. If they made a $500 invader it'd probably be the sickest park ski ever.

They are some topsheet chips.

I've got a pair of lines that are a few years old, there are hunks out of the edges of the topsheet. Hasn't hurt the ski in any way.

It's cosmetic only.
