Closest Ski to Line Anthem

[Freeskier91-RS]

Yooo. I've never skied a ski I like more than the Line Anthems (ones w/ the wolves on em).

I got my hands on a pair of Kitten Factory Razrblaydz (closest I could find, flexy, same tip to tail as tail to tip & center mount, a little fatter than most park skis), which were a 1-of a kind semi-pro model (they were out of stock, had to make more & asked if I wanted to put my own designs on them, which I did). I got 5 solid years out of these boys and have now blown out the core of them underfoot, similar to what happened with the Anthems.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A SKI LIKE EITHER THE RAZRBLAYD OR THE ANTHEM?!?!?!?!?

Both the Anthem and the KF skis have been discontinued/gone out of business.

I def don't want my shit to delam the way most lines do... def want something that can take big impacts (backies over 40-60 footers), big cliffs and or east coast cliff landings/ cruddy VT woods snow/rocks/trees/etc.

Also want something that's in the 173 to 179 range... i'm 5'10", was skiing 184's past 5 years, want something a little smaller to be a little more nimble in the woods.

I also loved the line anthem and have been trying to replace the absolutely clapped ones sitting in my room (the ones with the pink bottoms that say totally!!!).

I ordered a pair of if the new joy rides, it’s not symmetrical but it has similar measurements and looks like a similar-ISH shape (basically full side cut and minnimal rocker).

also looking atmoment frankenski as a symmetrical jibby mid 90s ski.

hopefully one of these fits the bill.

This is a tricky one, but the closest to the Anthem that I've tried, park-wise, are probably the Season Kin and the 1000 Skis Park. They are both better for actually skiing on than the Anthem but in the park they behave pretty similarly. The Kin has a decent amount of rocker, so the Anthem is/was a bit more stable on landings. The 1000 Park is a bit less symmetrical but in terms of how it actually feels in the park, it's pretty close.

I never rode on the anthems, but the joyrides are so much fun!

Thanks all,

Anyone ridden J-Skis?

I was considering the All-Plays prior to my kitten factory buy

Now looking @the hotshot/master blaster as well....

Basically now just tyring to find something that can stomp a 50 foot booter & rip through the trees

Scared of the day my anthems are clapped. I’ll never ride them that hard because of it. Purple lightning pair /claim

could they hold up in pow without punching through and sending you over the tips? i.e. on cliffs etc.? on park jumps etc? able to stick and ride out or are you washing out on things not perfectly stomped?

Tempted by the Allplays and the Joyrides, bc they seem to be super flexy/buttery

Looking on their site it actually looks like the Joyride is a little siffer than the allplay

I haven’t had the chance to hit any fresh snow on the joyrides yet. I was lucky enough to get on a pair at the end of march and skied them till closing day. On jumps they have held up just fine. They are definitely softer than the line tw pro and the arv 86 (skied both of those last year too). However they still felt great on jumps and honestly didn’t have any issues on washing out on landings even when I didn’t land bolts (park city’s jumps under 3 kings lift). They are super fun when it comes to rails, super light and playful.

here are a few clips that I got while riding them. Feel free to ask away if you have any questions.
