every line ski ive ever had has been fucked in less than one season... its either delam or an edge rips out.... lines whole concept of being a core company is great... i support them 100% in that aspect and they are definately innovators of the ski industry... they just cant seem to figure out durability...

Everything that came out of last year was shit. I'll agree, but everything before that was bombproof. That's why you'll see a lot of old lines around.

You clapping your skis together and cutting the topsheet is not a manufacturers defect.

why do you say the line boot was shitty. the transfer is exactly the same as the flexon, which has ahuge following. ya they come with crappy plastic buckles, but so did the flexon and so many people still thought it was dope

then isn't it just like the Dalbello Krypton series too? aren't those just Flexons?
Does anyone have a picture of these boots? I searched the web and couldn't find one.

The kryptons have the same construction as the old flexons.  Dalbello developed them so they have all the good qualities of the flexon but are also up to the modern standards of ski boots.  They are really nice boots, just make sure you fit in them because they are real narrow.

I have the orange DJ 1260s still sitting here in my room. Those date back to like 2001.

ASide from the top-sheet chipping, they were amazing. I outgrew them though.

Still have Line Skogen Sprang Pros. Green with the bombs, and the yellow bases. 2004, If I recall.

Also holding up great. I've never had a problem with either of the skis and am likely buying Line again.
