EP Pro's = soft as a legitimate priest

[inaba116]

So I am just really impressed with these skis and thought I would share some pics and thoughts with anyone that is interested in these. I rode the 130's last season and was impressed, however there was a build problem with the first pair that I got. There were bubbles in the top sheet and the wood core was exposed above one of the edges...bad construction to say the least. Luckily I was able to return them and get a new, well built pair of 130's.

When I got these I was much more impressed with the build quality. Everything looks perfect. And I am really impressed with the innovative ideas coming out of LINE these days. I know that a lot of the other companies have realeased skis similar to these but I feel that LINE is much more focused and dedicated to the ski development process. They are a skiers company and nothing else. They are always trying out new designs and technology and are innovators in the industry.

The main drawback to LINE's in the past has been the build quality. So I think that if they have fixed that problem then they are going to start really escalating in the industry. I am sure this will be faced with a lot of opposition but fuck it....I got some EP Pro's!!!!

[TheStamos]

awesome title. Im excited about the Ep pros . i cant wait to see them in person.

 

[MrLevel]

Awesome!! Those might become my second new ski this season for fooling around if I can spair some bucks here and there.

How much effective edge does it hold? That early rise is... uhm... pretty early indeed haha. Well not that those are expected to be used on anything else then powpow

What binding are you going to put on them?

 

[=nick=]

christ those are soft.

 

[Mex_LineJib^a]

nice crib , awesome skis

 

[720skiguy]

shit way softer than a hellbent and the "early rise" looks to be the same thing as the k2 rocker.

 

[snocompton]

damn i want a pair.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

wantwantwantwantwant...

 

[Chucktheweasel]

Awesome skis man, if I lived where there was a ton of powder I'd get a pair. Awesome house too haha.

 

[inaba116]

I think it is about 100cm of effective edge

I am gonna put some salomon STH 12's on them.

 

[skinnylove]

line is showing some real quality lately. im impressed.

 

[kepler.]

if i was within 500 miles of anywhere with deep powder i'd get them in a second

 

[Thomson.]

Wow your house is sick. And sick skizors!

 

[FUUUCK]

[alaskakid]

[kenevil]

sex in the form of skis

 

[eljefe]

ugh can't wait to get mine...speaking of which...I wonder where mine are???

 

[titsLOL]

I got to molest a pair today, sooooo soft and sooooo sick. damn

 

[borskee]

those look so sick

i ordered this years Chronics... but there on back order

:[

 

[BigJew]

Have you tried flexing them with all your weight? they look like they would snap.

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

so sick. elliptical side cut will be so dope too. one question though..why the goggles?

 

[psychkub]

I'm actually more interested in your home decor than on your skis!

 

[Silence]

such mad pieces of wood

 

[MrLevel]

actually those skis fit into the interior very well... I would just hang them up on the wall... a "little" piece of art

Putting STH12's on it, yeah good choice, not much that can beat those. Is there actually metal incorperated in those to? Ah never mind, I'll google it.

Now let's all say our prayers for a epic winter...

 

[inaba116]

The STH 12's have metallic heel reinforcement. The STH 16's have the reinforcement in heel and toe piece.

I do ride hard but I am also relatively short and light so I don't think I will need the 16's. Do you agree? Or do you think 16's would be better?

 

[inaba116]

I am 5'9" 155 lbs.

 

[Thomson.]

STH 16s have more metal in them correct? If so, go with those, they will last you longer. Also, you should be fine riding at 9, I think.

 

[MrLevel]

According to your weight you should be somewhere around DIN 7-8 I guess (out of my head)... taking in account charging hard and aggresive skiing, as far as that is possible on such a soft ski (I truly have no idea) you'll be fine with the 12's

 

[AKFREERIDE]

unless you can get your hands on some 14s, and that would be the best.

 

[MrLevel]

Yeah was thinking that to, but figured the price difference would be to much for what you get more... little did I know! 07' 914's retail for 20$ less then STH12's on untracked.com

Put some of those on if I were you

 

[edd1e]

I got some sth12s the other day. They are definately more beefy in the toe and heel compared with the z12.

 

[Love_Wins.]

Must have....GAH!

 

[Desjardins]

what a fucking sweet flex pattern! holy cow
