Why doesnt line make long skis?

[a.jamieson]

Im 6'1 and ive been taking a look for skis, honestly lines skis look soo dope and i would love to buy a pair of elizabeths or anthems but they're too short! I understand that its ep's pro model but why not make it in more then one size. Even the invader and anthem are made a little short. They really dont have anything non pow specific with a length in the 180s. The blend would be the only one but really that ski doesnt seem like anything special. Although i am tall i think that many people who want longer park skis are getting frustrated.

 

[fragglemuffin]

what about the sir francis bacons?

 

[BigJew]

Line doesn't make a decent length park ski. Invaders, no.

Anthems, no. Chronics, no.

 

[Balto]

i would have anthems if they came in 181

 

[zackblain]

last years blends in 186

Bacons are still too short for anyone over 6ft who wants to mount somewhere near the center of the ski...

I had to sell my bacons for 189 bents because I could not mount close enough to center to make skiing switch possible without tip dive and feeling rediculous. Line definitely needs to make something for taller skier, a 186 anthem would be amazing...

I'm 6'3" and I ride a 178 anthem.( i got them for $130, I won't complain) I would like some more length, but the ski does alright for just a jib toy.

189 bents are a tall mofo's best buddy. I think I might get some 182 alpha 1's or 181 AR6s for a new ski.

word.

An anthem in the 180s range would be epic

 

[cobra_commander]

what is the length on the new Motherships. I thought they had a 190+ version.

 

[dbchili]

problem is the cores are too soft to support a ski of that legth, they would just flop all over the hills at high speeds, and besides that they wouldnt be able to support the weight of most people riding them

line really just needs to engineer a stiffer ski for more advanced and taller park riders

 

[mike_d]

185 and 195

 

[richards]

are you serious?

hahahahaahahhaha tahts like 3 cm more

 

[joggl]

word

im 6.2 and ride a 185 elan in park...rockers and ants in pow

gettin any pow skis isnt any trouble but thers no choice for park skis...

 

[Peter.]

6 foot, ride a 178 anthem

 

[a.jamieson]

not really because they measure them long by a couple cm and 3 cm makes a difference

 

[richards]

not really
