its not necessarily the DIN setting. IMO its the whole binding. ive seen so many of those things just thrashed to pieces. IMO its more about how hard you are going to ski them..

i actually just bought my 8 year old sister some of the M11s, but then again she isnt exactly heavy, and already rides a 2.75 din and she wont be using them until next year.

if they work for you thats great, but you really get what you pay for, hopefully they dont explode on you. haha

I have to admit, I do hate on kids who look like they're super good but aren't at all.. But I shouldn't because I'm sure i've done that at some point. I'm sure at some point we've all been posers. So I shouldn't hate and actually help the kid(s) out.
Who I DO have a legit reason to hate on is kids who roll over lips of jumps or knuckle every time and just fuck up the jump. Or go super slow and make me wait until they're completely out of the park for me to drop. I recently clipped the side of a board because he was in the landing. People like that are dangerous and piss me off.

why should you care that some kid has nice stuff but sucks? Just makes you seem like a jealous doosher. How does someone else's stuff effect you? Just ski and don't worry about what other people do, hating doesn't belong in skiing.

for everyone that said he bought afterbangs cuz they were cheap and economical. FALSE. the kid prolly walked into a shop and the kid said i want to do tricks and rails and shit. and the salesman prolly said afterbangs so durable real cool! and he prolly gave the kid whatever size came up to his chin. the kid is an idiot. if he wouldve shopped around he couldve found so many of last years models for cheaper. i bought anthems with fks all for 310 dollars with mounting and break bending. that is cheaper than the $359 for just the afterbang skis. and my base and edges are still prime depsite the fact that they are octolands and were made three years ago lulz.

Why wouldn't you just go to the progression park and hit those jumps? You are just destroying the lips for everyone else.

Once i was in my local mountain and chillin in the park just doing some easy sw dub cork 12s and 10s and tried to get in my pretzel 4s and 6s, this little kid came by and did a safety grab and on the next jump he did a 180. I was so pissed. Oh and yeah later i tried sw double 14 and almost had it.

If I were your parents I would be getting worried that you kids are so thin skinned and mentally fucked up that the equipment other people are using bothers you?

To the fuckstick that started this thread:
You realize the Line Afterbang is a price point ski right? It is very inexpensive and easy to ski. When that kid walked into a ski store earlier this season and said he wanted to get into park skiing, the afterbang was an obvious choice due to the kids inexperience (its easy to ski and maintain), and its cheap price (who wants to pay $500-$600 when they are just starting to ski park?). The afterbang was probably a much better choice for him then a highly tuned comp ski like the Armada Pipe Cleaner, Fischer Addict Pro, and Dynastar 6th sense Pipe.
What is it about the afterbang's pissed you off so much? if he had spent the same amount of money and gotten the K2 extreme would you be as pissed off? What about spending more and getting the Rossi S4? Is it because it said line on it?
Is it because Line is a "core" company, ya it really sucks that the kid chose to spend money with a company that puts money back into skiing.

Grow the fuck up.

You get em everywhere, but f***it, people have gota start somewhere. As annoying as it can be, a talented skier can work round these issues....give em some space....when they're clear do your thing.....or step up your game and take it to the back country. You won't find fake frowns there harshing your buzz.

yeah i know a kid who gets new line skis everyyear, has the dopest gear, and thinks hes so good, and then is scared to do a box straight or even go off of a jump. twin tips but has never gone backwards, hes  worse at park than most gapers!

if you see a person at your resort consistently doing this, and everytime you see them they are cutting people off and hitting nothing in the park i could be annoyed by that. But if it's the only time you see someone then it's really not fair to judge. Did you see that kid in a rail or box section of the park? Maybe he had to buy rear enty boots till he gets enough money for good ones and they don't have enough support for jumps-- or whatever the case.

i'm just saying that you don't really know anything about his skiing unless you've seen him do more than go over rollers.

theres a fat kid at my hill who's got afterbangs, t-halls, line blends and public enemy's and his best trick is a straight air off the small kicker. and all he does is push in line at the park then bail.

well, you can get Afterbangs for cheaper than $359, you just need to look around.... I found Afterbangs, size 155 and 166 for PRICE $251.30 getboards.com..... So maybe the kid isnt an idiot and wants afterbangs and researched them for a really long time, saved up money, and had a great time with them. But thats impossible.

Uh... No. I'm riding my old pair of 07-08 public enemy's that are absolutely falling apart because I don't have any money to buy a new pair. I said "This" in response to that one guy because I recognized his sarcasm. He was obviously being facetious and pretending to be the type of person that has all of that money but no skill. He made a joke, and I recognized it.

You always have to think about things. Someone posted here saying he saw a really gangster looking kid going past every feature in the park. What if he just got back from a broken leg or arm and cant ride park right away or isnt even supposed to be skiing cause of an injury? There is always a reason

I got a kid that ive gone sking with a couple times who runs around with Rossi S3's and when we all hit a jump he will either not hit it or bust out the no spin safety grab. Also he just bought brand new oakley splices and will always wear them on top of his helmet and never on his face. Just pisses me off.
