Almost any binding goes well with any ski. Im pretty sure almost all the people that ride line, also ride Full tilt boots and Griffon or Jester bindings.

correct me if im wrong

I ride my friends all the time and downright love them. you wont find many better rail skis period. But dont expect to get super pop of a 40-50 foot jump anytime soon though. they are what they are, a super durable park ski

conspiracy...

just kidding, yes you're right, and that's because they're both under the K2 brand, so there's a lot of overlap with the reps and team managers so the athletes just go to one person to get everything most of the time.

So what you are saying is...that you used to ride for line and get your gear from a couple of dudes...now you ride k2 so you get your gear from the same couple of dudes..mind has been blown x 10

ya i deffinetly agree with you it, feels like the skis had no life. i had some at the start of last season and then moved on to moments and the difference was amazing

well, not really, in my particular case the K2 rep and Line rep nearest me are different people, but in some areas they're the same people - so potentially that could happen, but most of the time they don't cross over the ski division (so most of the time the K2 rep and Line rep aren't the same people, but the Line rep could be the Full Tilt rep and the K2 rep could be the marker rep or any combination of those).

You should probably watch more carefully...Andy usually uses some old FKS 155s, and Will and Ian use last years Pivot (I know that for a fact, cause the shop I'm sponsored by - Colorado Ski Shop - also sponsors them and that's where they got them).

this, but remember that the t-halls cost a lot more. the afterbang is made as a beater/intro to park ski.


mine also feel dead haha .. lost a lot of pop. perfect ski for destroying though so durable.
