seriously, who copies Line? does anyone even have these. they're always on ebay and no one buys them. i think if i ever want a powder ski ill get the karhu mothership knock offs for cheaper. lets her from someone whos ridden them.

i got in a car crash,got shot at,and attacked by a fucking bobcat. cross country is boring.

karhu and line are made in the same factory and the flex patterns are different because karhu's are generally tele skis


Small, simple, safe price. Rise the wake and carry me with all of my regrets. This is not a small cut that scabs and dries and flakes and heals. And I am not afraid to die. I\'m not afraid to bleed and fuck and fight. I want the pain of payment. What\'s left but a section of pigmy-sized cuts. Much like a slew of a thousand unwanted fucks. Would you be my little cut? Would you be my thousand fucks? And make mark leaving space for the guilt to be liquid. To fill and spill over and under my thoughts. My sad, sorry, selfish craft of the cutter. I\'m cutting trying to picture your black broken heart. Love is not like anything, especially a fucking knife!

i think 'did' own. that was the early story? hmm i read that in the line history thing on the site. so now karhu said we arent making much money- lets use the old presses and technolgy of our offspring?

Yeah Line and Karhu are made in the same factory with the same molds. Line just got bought by Karhu actually. The Jaks are essentially the same ski as the Moships but have a little different flex pattern. They are very simular and I bet you wouldn't even notice a difference.

They're not even a different flex pattern. they are the same ski. The jak bc is the moship flite and the jak is the moship tit. line can do alot more shit because of karhu owns them. who cares if they sell the same skis with different topsheets. This arguement is like saying don't buy rossi bindings because the are look knock offs.

all you guys talking like you know whats up are soo fucking retarded.'durr differnt flex patter, durr they don't work as alpine skis. Well listen up bitches. I ski on Karhu Ruckits, with alpine bindings, nothing is wrong with it. They are the same ski as their line counter parts, the only difference is the little notch on the tail for cliping on skins. so unless you ski on karhu's shut the fuck up.

Well don’t know shit about telemark skis. But what I do know is that many people telli on pocket rockets and volki G3's. So telli skis must not be too different than alpine skis, or people wouldn’t be able to telli on alpine skis.

People thinking that all tele skis are noodles are just stupid. In fact because of Karhu, Line stiffened up the Mothership with the extra layers of titanal. And because of Karhu, Line has their Assassin ski. So if you think Karhu is 'ripping off' Line you would have to say Line is doing the same to Karhu. Essentially they work together since they share the same factory.

same company. two different divisions.

fyi - because of the mothership/jak... the morrison was created (seth morrison saw the motherships and jaks and said i want those to k2). so this company knows its sh*t about fat twins.

Yo, here's the deal.

Karhu and Line are both divisions of Trak Sports, USA.

We are the same company, but we are run seperately. There is a sales and marketing department for Line and one for Karhu.

Trak has one R&D department with lots of workers working on lots of different things. Some people work on Line product development, and some work on Karhu.

At the end of the day some skis we end up sharing, some skis we don't.

We always test our new products for Alpine and for Tele...some skis like the Mothership and Jak work well for both Tele and Alpine, some don't.

We don't rip each other off, we work together to develop the best products possible for our respective markets. Next year you'll see several skis that we build that Karhu won't and vice versa.

Sometimes Karhu skis have different flexes/mounting points/tail heights, and sometimes they don't. The point here is that we test everything before we 'steal' products from one another.

For the record, we developed the Assassins in coordination with Karhu because we both needed ripping all mountain skis.

By the way, we're not the only company that does this.

K2 Public Enemy= K2 Piste Pipe
Rossi B series= Rossie T series tele skis
Atomic R:EX= TM:EX

The list goes on, and there's nothing wrong with it. Whether you tele or alpine, you're still making turns down a mountain. Sometimes a ski needs minor tweaks for tele or alpine, and sometimes a ski just rips for everyone as is.

Later,

kahrus are cheaper because there is less of a demand. simple business. i was at a telemark shop (for some strange reason) and the guy there was saying that kahrus are not as reinforced under the heel to support the heel piece of a alpine binding. they said if you weigh a lot or ski hard that it will just rip out.

yeah, theres a karhu equivilent of the moship, and the chronics. i wonder if theyre the same exact skis as the lines. the chronic is the special agent, and the moship is the jak. if so...
