Ok so i was 50 50 on all the people on this site talking crap about invaders, i was open minded and saw no proof of everything, although i wouldnt go but a pair because of the bad rep. but now i have proof, 2 cases, both happening within 6 days of coming out on the snow. Today i saw my freind PJ bouregard at lahoots ski shop. buying new skis and sending his invaders back to line. The guy we gave them to said he would send them in, and that these were not even close to the first pair of invaders sent back through his shop. The edges in both skis were coming out at the tips, by themselves. not rail damage.This is after 5 or 6 days on the snow. My freind kyle keating has the same exact thing happening to his invaders. This after 3 days on snow. 3 DAYS.
So i am decided on this topic. invaders suck. If you think im lying send these guys messages, there not on much but they have names, kyl3k and *freeskierpj*

Yea, how about you dont ski all-mountian. It seems that the people who just keep it calm and go down the hill are the ones who break. And others like me beat the crap outa em in the park and rails and whatnot and they hold up fine. Take your choice. lol.

don't ski all mountain ^^^ that is the best advice, I want skis that you have to walk to the park with.
Having to worry about your skis breaking is the worst thing possible. Like the kids who take their skis off in the lift line to look at them or cannot hike the park without undergoing a full anal inspection of their edges and bases first. But at least you get to rep a "CORE" brand and act cool - def. worth it.

alright, i agree, they might be a little less durable then alot of twins out there.....but think about it - think of how many people have a pair of invaders. now think of how many people are breaking theirs compared with how many people arent. i think its all proportional, considering the invader is probly one of if not the most widely used ski on this site.

first off you cant say invaders blow because something is going wrong in the factories.. i have a pair which did EXACTLY the same thing.. but they are still the best park specific out there.. and the people who are saying "oh well invaders are for park only" are noobs who have no clue what they are talking about. And line is still the best ski company out there

^^ how could you possibly say they are the best park specific ski out there. There is no way you have ridden every "park specific" ski. You are just as bad as those that dis the invaders who haven't ridden them either.
Line is good, Jason is great that is clear so let people say what they want.
They made an economy twin too economy.
They released sample skis to the public in large numbers - should have kept them locked down like the prophets.
They back up there shit and move on so will you.

Any edge can come out...But i have seen lines edge's come out alot.. Ive been riding lines ever since they came out with skis and i have had a few that came out on the tip and tail. Cant complain cuz basically free and the oldest pair i have now has no edges on either tip or and 1 missing on edge on tail. Just epoxyed the missin area and been rockin them everyday..

ive had mine for maybe 10 rides. mostly groomer. the edge and base is coming away from the topsheet like 3 mm. not a problem. showed my dad and he told me he has truck hood epoxy that is super strong indrustrial grade that he can get on cue. one of the many advantages to owning a transport truck company.

anyone who thinks these skis suck (besides the whole falling apart issue) is full of crap. i've been on mine almost three weeks now. the tips are starting to seperate, so i duct taped them. it looks ghetto, but its keeping them from getting any worse. they actually ski really well all mountain too, as long as you realize you're on a center mounted ski and dont really load up the tips. ski with a balanced stance and they are so much fun.

i still like the invader never really had them though

so you need to ski one certain way and limit what you do to have the ski stay together? they should have told people that before they released that crap

you mena a balanced centered stance? why would you ever want to do that?

the center mount is more fun for groomer. carving switch is a breeze and nose butters are supper easy. ive heard people saying that the chonics base was more durable!!!!haha. its the same base

they are the cheapest twin-tip in the market. I dont understand why people seem to think they can perform miracles... This doesn't mean Line sucks. Line is one of my favorite companies, and I'll always stand by them. They do great things for the sport, and yeah sometimes skis break, but they honor the warranty. It costs them money to replace them so I'm sure they dont make the skis breakable on purpose.
