Yeah there's something about older skis man. I think it's nostalgia. I'd love to somehow fix my 09' Line Invaders just for the nostalgia reason. I just remember being young and having fun on them and even though have no idea/memory of how they ski, I'd love to ride them again. The edge of the ski was completely ripped out around the tip
(the whole U shape of the ski) though so that's not happening lol.

Found an old pair of currupts in the shop I work in as we re fitted it this year. They were behind a load of old shelving in the basement. Almost like new. Sucks they are really small but bought back some good memories!

I think skiing is really bad about respecting its own history so I love seeing some old shit show up in the pictures

Got some '10 Line Anthem this year for 80 bucks and they've been holding up great so far. I like old Line skis, they remind me of the early Traveling Circus, which had a big influence on me

Not as hard as you think, I'm about to do that repair on a second pair of skis. What I do is I clip the edges, file them down and then I epoxy the base back to the tail, let it dry for a day or 2. Then what I usually do is drill a few holes through them and slap some rivets in. I did this to a pair of halos and I skied them for half a season with no problems, probably could have lasted me much longer but I picked up new skis

I see so many of the ON3P filthy riches with the money topsheet. Even tho I’ve never ridden them that’s the one ski I wish I could have and keep forever and use a lot. Those things look so sick and fun. Also like seeing previous years of the Vishnu topsheets

I’ve still got a pair of 2005 scratch BCs in the quiver, along with some 2012 LTEs. I had a sick pair of old T-Halls (the all charcoal ones with just one thin Rasta stripe tip to tail, maybe like 2009s) but like an idiot sold them to a buddy. They were probably the last pair on earth...

The old ski that I see pop up the most is the OG Al Dente (before if became the Edollo). This ski is from the 13/14 season and still see them fairly often. It blows my mind because I barely see models from the 2-3 years after that. Also has a the OG Armada graphic
