Line Flys

[cagedape]

I dont know if anyone here uses these, or if they think they are any good...but i have been using these for freestyle for the past 2 years. They are really good for what im doing at the moment....which is mostly freestyle. I can usually jump fairly high and these boards have held up through it all. However, they arent very good if you are looking for speed. But these are the best trick boards ive ever owned.

How many different boards have you ridden on lately? Like the last few years...Fly's are a different breed and design of board compared to BG's, MNP's, Weapons, M7's...etc.

Not that Fly's aren't capable of good air. So is my Jeep if I send it off a table at 60 mph too. But it isn't as pretty to watch or nearly as gratifying if it was done with a porsche. Getting the picture?

i understand what you mean....but does anyone ride line.....or am i out of it. i personally dont care how my skis look....all im thinking is taht people are gonna look at the air/tricks.....im really thinking they arent gonna check out the boards and be like "that sucks look at the skis he has," but this is just my oppinion im not trying to force it onto you.

I know for a fact that Courtney ride's some Line Weapons. And as you said it isnt what you ride, its how you ride it. But yea you should try out something new. Maybe you feel good on those now, but if you dont try anything new, you wont know if there is anything better for you.

[cagedape]

alright well do any of you have suggestions on what i should try out? thanks in advance

[Vitulla]

Try out Groove's BG Pro's, Canon's M7's and Snowjam 90cm. You can also try the Line Pro's. You could try your local ski shop or rent them from skiboards.com and if you want to buy them use SBOL, great customer service.

ive got a pair of 02 weapons and 02 flys i loved my flys before i got my weapons but the edge came off and i got the weapons. i found another pair of flys same model on ebay and got them for 40 bucks. i love both boards but ive been riding the weapons lately because ive been hitting rails quite often. the plates make grinds really nice and smooth. theyre a good length for park and all mountain riding too. the flys dont give me as much speed but i do have fun riding them and when im not using them i lend them to my friends so they can join in on the skiboarding fun.

i ride Line Pros with FF cam bindings, now i'll give you my review on these boards. they are nice at first, but after a few runs down the terrain park, and hittin some ice, the boards go to shit real quick!!!.....i took 2 BIG chunks out of the sides of them this season just from carving on the ice. now i've gotta say the boards still run great and theres no real problems with them that would effect their performance. but the quality of the product, well it just sucks! for the money you pay for them its not worth it. they dont hold up to normal riding conditions. just my experience on these boards.

Yea i ride the line Pros with Pro Bindings.

They ride nicely light flexible and all that mumbo jumbo

but the QUALITY of it
gwad damn
Get some canons

The top sheet sucks ass. It shreds to shits.
The base doesn't hold wax well
I go do my own hot waxes now cause after spending $30(3 waxes) at the shop It lasts one day MAX.

they are HIGH density bases and slow down like crap after a while

[cagedape]

alright..thanks i will look into trying out some cannons.....do many places rent them? cuz im going to vermont shortly and i was wondering if any of the ski shops rent there?

[Courtney]

most places rent salomons... ive never heard of a place renting skiboards that dont suck except a few places used to rent out 02 line models.

How tall are you cagedape?

[cagedape]

uhh im about 6' 1" or 6' 2"

You should probably get a 99cm pair of boards like the brinton gundersons ,m7s or the neal lyons. I would recomend the neal lyons or the BGs because you do freestyle so much. I'm not saying the m7s are bad its just that theyre not as stiff as the neal lyons or BGs and stiffness is really what you want when your in the park.
