Noob.

Nominated.


If you are choosing a ski based on the design of the topsheet, you are either:
A) Plain retarded
B) Have rich ass parents so if your skis break they will buy you new skis, but they have to know which topsheet you like before they buy them for you
C) Know jack shit about skis
or
D) All of the above

He said that the topsheet is a deal breaker for him. I was talking in general.

A) It seems to me like you are retarded. Think of it as a positive thing.

B) Proof? Haha jkjk, I don't really care if you buy your skis or your parents.

C) If you knew about skis you would know not to choose a ski based on topsheet.

Companies should only be allowed to produce skis with plain black topsheets, so that kids are forced to buy the ski that is right for them. That way, there wouldn't be anyone moaning about how their new pretty-looking Hellbents don't perform in the park.

The Anthem was the best park ski produced in the last four seasons! I say this in terms of dimensions, construction, size, and graphics. You can take this ski just about anywhere, they slay the park, rip groomers, and can handle a little pow. I think you'll notice over time every ski company steal the dimensions. Line needs to bring them back, but with a little less camber.

In terms of the graphics it's been the best design every year. The Kiss graphic resulted in Line being sued and not releasing the ski but then re-released with EP exclusive graphics octoland and the giraffes. The Wolf design came out a couple years before everyone thought the three moon wolf shirt was the hot shit. The Purple/Keyboard/Panther design was amazing.

Finally the snowboarder graphic which is the greatest of them all. See they're funny because you think they're dumb. The beauty of these skis is this actual post and the gaper snowboarders that are confused when they see them in the lift line. Skiing has finally reached a point were we can actually rip on knuckle draggers from decades ago.

When you think gaper day, do you think of snowboarders? Why not? Well this ski proves you should.

Mt. Skier your a little bitch  and kangbang said that i just get all my gear just given to me by my parents if you read the thread douchebag thats why i said i work hard for my gear. I didnt say that it was a bad ski i said that the topsheet looks dumb even if it is ironic i dont like it. I am not going to ride a ski that i dont like even if the performance is good  i will just find another ski with good performance and a topsheet i like  so you can go to hell Mt.Skier

I think the graphic is hilarious! I ski in the midwest and have tons of people compliment and say they are hilarious! I rode up with a few people that said that they remember when they looked like that. LIne did a great job with it in my opinion. But honestly a topsheet shouldn't matter. But I do like having a good laugh every time I look down at my skis!

BTW. just my two cents... most ski art is tolerable, bearable, or otherwise ignorable. But what was Movement thinking when they went from this:

yum, perty

to this?!

I wouldn't use these if they were free... I would trade them for the old ones. They are one of the best skis ever.
