If mods can delete posts saying "faget" within 10 minutes, they should be able to move equipment related posts into Gear Talk immediately.

Everyone says they are noodle crap, and are more of a rail rat exclusive ski, not all mountain
 
I rode my afterbangs with all the tips/tails edges looking similar to those until this year when one ski snapped underfoot. Any ski that slides is a good rock ski or pair to beat up. They were some fun noodles.
 
After that 2X4 skis edit, I am completely rethinking this whole ski thing. Apparently my back yard fence is actually a lifetime supply of free skis.

They're may suck all mountain but I've done it. They're still skiable.

And in regarded to the OP, maybe LINE should comment and explain why they were d/c'd
 
Why did they discontinue them you ask? Cause everyone bought that tank of a ski 4 years ago and still think they can ski them today

Maybe because they're:

-heavy

-had durability issues

-become water logged

-are terrible off piste

- have really slow extruded bases

The only thing they do well is butter, which tons of other skis these days are designed to do without all the aforementioned issues. They're just a poorly designed ski that was well marketed. There are so many better skis out there that don't have a faulty design gimmick of being "built like a skateboard"

Essentially it was a cheap beginner level ski that got lots of kids into the sport, probably their best feature
 
I have no idea why people are so loyal to a company that produces shit quality skis year in, year out. I mean yeah they make some fun skis, but so does every other company in the industry...
