either these were just samples line had made or they were made just for a foreign market (japan). they were never sold in the usa and i've never seen them before. the name and graphic comes from one of the first fullsize skis line ever made.. the line ostness dragon in 2000.

possibly Line was thinking of releasing them in various sizes including skiboard size?

they are definatly asymetrical if you look at the mose and tails.

[evanthehunter]

hmmm, odd. looks like I found some ghost skis. they look like the Osiness cut in half then glued back together. and the bottoms look like the Weapon without the grindplate. someone should buy em and report back.

i dont know about u but I think the Graphics are sweet.

iam watching these as well iam more interested in the FF pros then the boards really

[BrklynCarver]

They look like FF Cams to me.

[tyberesk]

yea they are def ff cams plastic toe

[Manlenium]

I like the graphics....:p

[Roussel]

ya those are FF Cam, also the same as the Canon TD-1s.

great binders.

[CrazyBoy-1]

Are you guys sure those are the FF Cams? I have a pair of cams and they look very different. I was thinking those were the "Free Block" bindings? I think that's the name anyway. Unless of course there were different generations of cams and mine are older.

[Greco]

those were the earliest version of ffcam. they later changed the ffcam to the design with the flip up tab to adjust, those are the ones you probably have.

g

[CrazyBoy-1]

Yeah, mine have a tab on the inside of each toe and heel block that flips up to allow the blocks to move.

[evanthehunter]

they are cheap. How do u guys think they will ride?

[CrazyBoy-1]

Just looking at the length to width ratio, they appear to be wider than the older 98 Pro model. I'm guessing they'll float pretty well, and the side cut looks decent enough to give responsive handling. That's all just based on how they look though. It's tough to make a good guess without actual stats.

Personally, I'd be interested in them for the novelty factor as much as anything, especially if they go cheap. If you want them, post here so I don't bid against you.

I dont think ill buy em. go ahead.

[thisisjon]

i'll probably hit them if they stay under 100.

[CrazyBoy-1]

Well, there are no bids on it last I checked, so you might actually get them for $50 unless someone hits a last minute bid. They'd just be a novelty buy for me, and I wouldn't want to pay more than $100 for them myself, so you go ahead and get them. Please do let us know what they're like if you get them though.

[thisisjon]

Will do. Ive still got a thing for old school line, so I want to try these out and see how they do.

[BCordani]

[BCordani]

[nate]

These boards were never released in the state so noone around here has actually ridden them. It's hard to say.

[CrazyBoy-1]

So did any of you guys win them? If so, I'd love to hear a report on them.
