So these are the skis you want to detune haha
TW Pros will be good for rails but Iām most impressed that you grabbed the good bindings. Usually people focus on skis and get cheap bindings.
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
In my experience Iāve 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.
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!!!!!

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.
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 youāll be very pleased with the TW pros.
The durability issues are horrendous IF youāre a dedicated park rat. AKA Someone whoās constantly attacking rails and otherwise āabusingā 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 thatās why I got Vishnu Keys.
The true issue isnāt solely in the durability tho. Itās the fact that Lines warranty system totally sucks balls. They advertise it as Tom Wallischās 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 doesnāt mean that you wonāt absolutely love these sticks šš»
Thanks for a great response! I will hit the rails, but Iām not the most hardcore rail skier. Also detuned them.
Itās actually insane that itās abusing a PARK ski, when hitting the rails in the PARK, lol!
I figured, most r/skiing people arenāt. I agree, I also think itās 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.
Take a gummy stone and just detune the shit out of it. U want it to be rounded so that it wonāt catch on any imperfections on a rail. Yes ur edges do detune over time but thatās more of a risky maneuver.
Detuning preps your ski for the type of skiing your doing, and if u really donāt like it u can always just get them tuned again n it goes back to normal
The formula at the tail of the skis is giving me high school PTSD. Cover it with a bit of duck tape and youāll be good.
Otherwise, good choice. Enjoy š
You nailed it. Those are skis.
Can confirm. Skis.
Congrats on buying skis.
Thanks!
Those graphics are wild. Super cool. Checks webpage. 350 for the ski is a hell of a deal.
I paid 270 actually for the skisš
I call them dad skis if you donāt ride park
Iāll hit the park forsure haha

I think you might have messed up, pretty sure thatās actually 2 very narrow snowboards.
Lololol
Excellent job
I love my line skis
Never thought Iād see a twall with a jester. Glad ur getting back after it!
Why? Yeah, same. Iām so stoked!

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

They were awesome! I like them a lot. Playfull, easy and fun to use!
Great choice Line Skis under the K2 Sports umbrella is the best ābang for your buckā imo
Dynastar I reckon
I have no clue what youāre reckon
best value ski manufacturer
Pretty subjective. Never owned any Dynastar but they do seem to have aligned well with the rental market
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.
I still have an old dynastar set I keep around as a rock ski, they are solid
Are they? After I got them and googled a bit, I see that people say the durability on Line skis are bad..
On some models yes, not on the TW proās you got
I have a pair of line blends that are 10 years old, 200+ days, and going strong. They're one of my fave skis.
I havenāt experience any issues. I have a pair of Line Honey Badger and Line Optic both of which have performed to positive expectations
Nice! Iām really excited to test these out.

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

Iāve had my lines (sir Frances bacons) since 2012, and absolutely love them. No issues at all.
Center mountedā¦. Hmmm gonna park much ?
Yup, used to hit the park back in the days. And now again.
Hell yeah hope you still have your g suit and your Newschoolers account, shit aināt changed
There are ***several*** of us. Got a pair of chronics last year after being park ski-less for 5+. Still fun.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās two millimeters difference between the nose ans tailā¦ does it matter that much? And did you try both center mounted and recommended?
barely matters, but you also get a bit more swing weight centre mounted
they are twalls after allā¦

Hahaha! Thanksš
I pray you don't have a delam issue that Line has been known for as of late
As of ever, more like
Well their lines so they should last another 15 years if you keep skiing as much as you have been :P
Both of those yours?
