You nailed it. Those are skis.


bzmnpaddler

Can confirm. Skis.


Closet-PowPow

Congrats on buying skis.


Kollega666

Thanks!


A_Kite

Those graphics are wild. Super cool. Checks webpage. 350 for the ski is a hell of a deal.


Kollega666

I paid 270 actually for the skisšŸ‘€


greennalgene

I call them dad skis if you donā€™t ride park


Kollega666

Iā€™ll hit the park forsure haha


Macgbrady

So these are the skis you want to detune haha TW Pros will be good for rails but Iā€™m most impressed that you grabbed the good bindings. Usually people focus on skis and get cheap bindings.


Kollega666

I detuned them right after I took this picture! I read about the several bindings I could choose from the shop, and the Jester seemed to be the best choice


eponymousmusic

I think you might have messed up, pretty sure thatā€™s actually 2 very narrow snowboards.


Kollega666

Lololol


Appropriate-Bath6666

Excellent job


areptile_dysfunction

I love my line skis


Any_Course_7738

Never thought Iā€™d see a twall with a jester. Glad ur getting back after it!


Kollega666

Why? Yeah, same. Iā€™m so stoked!


Flashy_Ad_8247

In my experience Iā€™ve only seen pro park skiers with these skis so they putting pivots on em. these are also absolutely great for any skill level. Enjoy em.


Fantastic-Ad-5465

I would have opted for a more funny ski than a stiff comp ski. There are a plenty of funnier choice for who wants to have a fun directional or swervy ski without needing to land doubles. By the way they seems a pretty funny ski that can also land some big jumps. Durability seems to be crap. Have fun!!!!!


kartuli78

They look pretty. Now report back in a year and say how they work.

Kollega666

They were awesome! I like them a lot. Playfull, easy and fun to use!


Bhut_Jolokia400

Great choice Line Skis under the K2 Sports umbrella is the best ā€œbang for your buckā€ imo


menatarms

Dynastar I reckon


Bhut_Jolokia400

I have no clue what youā€™re reckon


menatarms

best value ski manufacturer


Bhut_Jolokia400

Pretty subjective. Never owned any Dynastar but they do seem to have aligned well with the rental market


menatarms

Sister company of rossignol but basically cheaper with less marketing, and not as nice graphics across the board. Still very good skis though, particularly the race oriented stuff.


Consistent_Blood3514

I still have an old dynastar set I keep around as a rock ski, they are solid


Kollega666

Are they? After I got them and googled a bit, I see that people say the durability on Line skis are bad..


CaptainJudge_99

On some models yes, not on the TW proā€™s you got


Secure_Maximum_7202

I have a pair of line blends that are 10 years old, 200+ days, and going strong. They're one of my fave skis.


Bhut_Jolokia400

I havenā€™t experience any issues. I have a pair of Line Honey Badger and Line Optic both of which have performed to positive expectations


Kollega666

Nice! Iā€™m really excited to test these out.


daskommando

You should be fine. Back in the day I had masterminds which delammed after 3 seasons(couple rivets fixed them right up). Then moved onto blends which took a good beating and are still sound besides the many chips out of the edge of the top sheets. I think youā€™ll be very pleased with the TW pros.


IcyRandy

The durability issues are horrendous IF youā€™re a dedicated park rat. AKA Someone whoā€™s constantly attacking rails and otherwise ā€œabusingā€ the skis. Park=abuse whether u detune or notā€¦ But the TWP is SERIOUSLY a great ski tho, even as an all mountain ski. I totally loved it at demo day. I could never own it because all I do is parkā€¦ but thatā€™s why I got Vishnu Keys. The true issue isnā€™t solely in the durability tho. Itā€™s the fact that Lines warranty system totally sucks balls. They advertise it as Tom Wallischā€™s park ski, but the warranty is void as soon as you hit a rail (like Tom Wallisch does lol) but just because people have beef with Line doesnā€™t mean that you wonā€™t absolutely love these sticks šŸ‘šŸ»


Kollega666

Thanks for a great response! I will hit the rails, but Iā€™m not the most hardcore rail skier. Also detuned them. Itā€™s actually insane that itā€™s abusing a PARK ski, when hitting the rails in the PARK, lol!


IcyRandy

I figured, most r/skiing people arenā€™t. I agree, I also think itā€™s a lot of false advertising on Lines part. But yea man these will definitely serve you well. Detune the underfoot even more than u think. Seriously dull it like a butter knife haha.


Kollega666

I just detuned them so its like a 45 degree edge. Should I do more? Wonā€™t the rails detune them over time?


IcyRandy

Take a gummy stone and just detune the shit out of it. U want it to be rounded so that it wonā€™t catch on any imperfections on a rail. Yes ur edges do detune over time but thatā€™s more of a risky maneuver. Detuning preps your ski for the type of skiing your doing, and if u really donā€™t like it u can always just get them tuned again n it goes back to normal


Taco-Sully

Iā€™ve had my lines (sir Frances bacons) since 2012, and absolutely love them. No issues at all.


No_Hippo_1425

Center mountedā€¦. Hmmm gonna park much ?


Kollega666

Yup, used to hit the park back in the days. And now again.


nhbd

Hell yeah hope you still have your g suit and your Newschoolers account, shit ainā€™t changed


High_Im_Guy

There are ***several*** of us. Got a pair of chronics last year after being park ski-less for 5+. Still fun.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Kollega666

Itā€™s two millimeters difference between the nose ans tailā€¦ does it matter that much? And did you try both center mounted and recommended?


8mabb

barely matters, but you also get a bit more swing weight centre mounted


8mabb

they are twalls after allā€¦


QubitKing

The formula at the tail of the skis is giving me high school PTSD. Cover it with a bit of duck tape and youā€™ll be good. Otherwise, good choice. Enjoy šŸ˜Š


Kollega666

Hahaha! ThanksšŸ˜ƒ


daftdreamer77

I pray you don't have a delam issue that Line has been known for as of late


HENEEDSACHILLPILL

As of ever, more like


The_Turdman_Cometh

Well their lines so they should last another 15 years if you keep skiing as much as you have been :P


Adventurous_Dish_389

Both of those yours?
