Worst ski up to date?

i am afraid that YOU'RE a tool, what line skis have you ridden?

oh yeah, i have fujatives, and they are only good for buttering and rails, pretty much useless in the pipe and on groomers, there are much better skis out there.
 
Ok...well im gonna have to elaborate on everything. Im a pretty huge guy as far as this site goes ( 6'1 185 lbs) for these weren't really heavy for me. I just really didn't like the way they rode compared to all the other skis have tryed ( Ar5, Chronics, Fujis, Invaders, Old Salomon 1080, Foils, Prophets, Head Mad trix, Sprayer BC).

Now pretty much this is personal prefernce and it just goes to show that there is a specific ski out there for specific people depending on the way you ride, your weight, height, and skill. I totally have to dissagree with people who say ALL line skis suck. I rode LAST years invaders and they were incredible. For rails, jumps, skiing switch i loved them. They had soo much pop, and were relatively stiff. They had delam problems, but they were sick. I just had the chance to try the new chronics, and those are pretty sick too. A little stiff for my liking, but for anybody who wants a true twin all mountain ski that is the ski for you. Also i have prophet 130s.....and anybody who makes a ski that size that i can still use on the groomers no problem...well they deserve props. I think people who say all lines suck are just ignorant....more NS hearsay BS.

Umm i could see how the fujis would suck after a while. With my size i would need a new pair after a year and a half about. They are just the softest new skis i have ever got on. Like my old Ar5s are softer then that, but they are the ORIGINAL series....soo took them a while.

Now the best ski i have ever ridden would have to be the old salomon 1080. These are the toughest skis on the planet....any of the new skis don't even come close to how tough these are. Ive had them since 2000 and they ski just as good as they did 6 years ago. No delam, no coreshots, edges are still perfect, i love them. I know that they newer salomons are pretty shitty, the foils are not that great of a ski. But now i look at the dumonts, and it shows that the company is moving up. I say that the old skis that this sport started out with are pretty much the toughest old tanks out there, and all this new stuff coming out can't even stay together for a season.
 
the early Public Enemys were horrible, especially mounted traditional.

I skied lines once and they sucked so bad, they had no torsional stiffness and just skied like shit.
 
That pretty much sums up most of this thread.

For the record, I have a pair of Line Skogens from 2000/2001 and this year's Prophet 100s. Both are great skis and have withstood a great amount of abuse. I'm not saying that all skis ever made by Line skis are great, but I've been pretty happy with my experience.
 
i saw 2 pairs have the whole cap split off, but it was still attached at the tip and tail which was weird.

Basically, you could have the base in one hand, and the topsheet in the other and look through it.
 
They only skis I have used and I don't like are the 1080 spaceframe, and the 1080 foam, they broke down on me faster than my other skis and they flexed strange. but i am not bashing skis/ companies i just like the feel of good ol wood for a core.
 
this is funny cause i can honestlysay that ive never ridden a ski that i didnt have fun on. my 1999 junior x-screams were sick as nuts, my volkl v-legends were stiff but rocked the moguls, my karhu ruckit (tele line maverick with bigger tail) were sick and just ripped the mountain up, my rossi sick birds kill it EVERYWHERE, and my scratch fs are easily the best all around skis ive ever ridden, but maybe what im trying to say is that as long as your a good skier your skis shouldnt hold you back, even if they are prone to breaking they still worked before they broke, didn't they? i mean none of you got on the skis and just like fell over did you? no

 
My scratch BCs. Worst skis ever. And they haven't gotten better since then either. Rossi, for all its claiming, I don't think has ever gotten it right.
 
scratch, rossignol sucks. cant stand em. pow air grind is up there too -worst idea ever the grind plate defeated the purpose of the skis i still fucked em up on rails. retarded.
 
haha i dont believe that, everyone in my crew has fujas and no one has broken a pair, this is my second season with them and i love them for everything in when the pow comes in and i have landed plenty of rodeo 5s they are still bomb
 
i personally think public enemies blow. hteyre kind of a noob ski, weigh like 50 lbs, and are super stiff. and their mounting plate is like 5" back from center.
 
ok, im a tool because i go against the popular opinion, great reasoning idiot. i hated my fujis, and i snapped them. im a college student, i can't affor to replace skis a couple times a year. and i hated how they were too soft, they washed out easily and made me put my hands down whenever i didn't land near perfect. and they also skied like shit out of the park, couldn't hold an edge. my TMs with rounded edges are 100 times better out of the park as well as in. and my experience with line has been good, it might be cause i didn't jump on the band wagon and buy invaders, but whatever, i still have my orange DJ 1260s (first pair of twin tips) and use them for urbans (too short for anything else), and they only have a couple edge cracks. so maybe i got lucky with my lines and unlucky with my fujis, but that;s my experiance, and thats how i see it. so get off your high horse and go skiing on your sledding hills in minnesota. oh yeah, vikings suck.
 
I dont know what the worste were, but I know what the best were . . ..

the original k2 enemy. such badass skis, way ahead of their time. sure they delamed like your mothers clothes, but they were the sickness.
 
this is what i was talking about, and you would break them faster than that. im 5'10" 180, so im fairly big as far as this site goes, but as for people my size they are too soft.
 
hehe, i remember those mounted at the recommended was like 6inches from the tail. Only the rental shops did that and was one of the ultimate gaper skis of the day.
 
agreed. i had the first years...durable...and man i could flex them so fucking much! im waiting for my ar6's to soften up a bit...
 
all the line haters can suck it, but i'd say triplets, just for the oure thought of someone buying three different skis and none look alike, not to mention they all look like chick skis.
 
OH SHIT ^^ TOTALLY FORGOT about the tripletts from last year OMG those pink hps are good awful ugly. we cant get ride em from our shop.....anyone want em ?for like 225 plus shippin for three fuckin skis? cant beat that ha
 
This thread is great. I'm happy I didnt buy a whole bunch of those skis. And its funny that barely anybody brought up the TM's and how they had major edge problems, guess they were that good. So out of this, I have amassed the general consensus:

good companies - armada, 4frnt, head, dynastar, nordica (nobody has touched them but thats prob cause nobody buys their skis)

bad companies - line, fischer, k2, liberty, volant, atomic, elan, ninthward, volkl(but specific to the dogens)

And for good measure, my 2 cents. Head madtrix from 2002, still, but very stable and just like everyone else says, bombproof. Elan I can't stand. I'm sure they make great skis but after spending my childhood on elan rentals, I swore I would never use them again.
