for those of you that have checked out line's 2011 lineup, what is the difference between the afterbang and the new model, stepup? They are both skateboard construction, 115-88-115

if there is a difference, why would line make 2 skis with such strong similarities? why not make a skinnier/fatter park ski for those who prefer that?
 
The step ups are a stiffer ski than the afterbangs. Same construction and shape but a bit stiffer. I had a chance to ski them and really enjoyed the extra stiffness to them. Two thumbs up.
 
the step up has a 10 string carbon ollie band, and the afterbang has just five

Im not sure if the step up has butter zones
 
the step up is just more ski... u can feel it when your on it, just feels solid and skis the whole mountain a bit better. great jump ski, and still a great jib ski. if you're looking for a noodle park ski from line... the only option left really is the mastermind, which is an amazing jib ski for the $.
 
Afterbangs and StepUp are both super good skis!The only different thing is that the StepUp is stiffer but have a little more pop!
