"buy LIne, buy any brand...they are all good these days....pretty much the same quality"
exactly, there is so much whining on here about 'my friends whatever ski broke only 3 weeks after he bought it' or 'don't buy x brand because they are just terrible quality.' but the truth of the matter is that all these companies are producing good quality skis. there may be the rare defect or that one guy who just gets unlucky, but on a whole, the quality is going to hold up.
and for the thread starter, no your lines are not just going to break.
I hope that some day we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people
