Ok so here goes yet another one of "these" threads. Im trying to narrow down my ski choices for next year and i have some questions. any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. Moment reno jib. ive heard the skis are light and poppy, but does the stiff flex limit them (less fun)?
2/3. Amplid antidogma/ township. 2) Antidogmas seem to be middle of the road flex. Any comments as to the performance of the ski? 3)Township. i havent really seen much on these skis, can anyone compare the flex to another ski, how much stiffer than the invader.
4. Line invader. Is it too flexible? i spend most of my time in the park but i venture out everynow and then and i like the ski to hold up fairly well, but then again, butters are fun.
thanks

go moment or Amplid... Line is a fruit boot company owned by a the evil k2 corp. that makes skis in china..

just because they are made in china doesnt mean crap. Chinese factories are no worse than factories in, africa, antarctica, or any other mass production factories.
K2 also is not evil... cmon dude, they make tons of good quality stuff, even outside of the ski/snowboard realm. Dont knock them just because they are large.
With that said, moment jibs would probably be pretty good. they make quality stuff

yea dont get line skis.....just get a knock off of line.
line 1260 revolutionized park skiing (symetrical design)
line ostness dragon first big twin tip ever
prophet 130 first ski with early rise, first ski that was just huge, nobody else thought of doing that
prophet 100 was and still is the most versitle ski ever
line elizabeth short and fat.....first short fat ski ever
line uses base and edge thats twice as thick as and other base and edge...until someone copies that shit too.
lines warranty is impecable.
line started in burlington vermont. skis were made in burlington vermont. not many companys can say that they actually have made their own skis.
but yea just get the ones that look like lines and have simular dimensions and flex patterns that line took years coming up with. we all like copycats right?

Anit-Dogmas are super sick. Personally, best park ski iver ever ridden. Solid flex and sidecut. Townships are cool too, a little softer

Line also had the worst binding ever made... (reactor binding)
and the biggest delam issue... (first year invader)
and they started out making snowlerblades... (gay)

line was also the first ski company to try to make a completely different type of binding. even though it failed, you cant win em all just ask the patriots.

and wasnt their delam issue due to the skis being stuck on a boat for months?
and they didnt start making snow blades. they made skis too.
every company around made snow blades at the time because they were so hot. k2 salomon etc. and what does that have to do with anything.
anymore brain busters?

Well.. the norweigians were the first to use skis..
and the gods were the first to make snow fall..
and lines were the first skis that I ever did snap...
But whatever.. I have total respect for Line... I just dont like the Invaders or Anthems. At all.
The rest of the lineup though? very sufficient. (especially those Bacons.. mmmm Bacon...)
All times are Eastern (-4)
