I actually took no offense I just thought it a clever retort. Pretty sure I've met the dude in passing @;BBISoli. Parked right next to he n Teh Baker(that was you correct,SVS? Burly dude w/ Pinnacle 118). My brother and I chatted w/ Baker n Djongo.
If I can get my house finish remodeled, it shouldn't be to big of an issueComment

Did you size down compared to your R9? The blade seems to have a shorter effective edge. I wonder how they compare on snow.Just in case you forgot what this thread was about….
More Blade pics.
Surprised at the depth/length of the tip rocker, when decambered.
Can’t wait to roll these over on edge. The tips are huge. Looking forward to early season groomers now!

Line Blade
Ya I sized down. As most of my skis are 179cm-181cm (Eg 180cm Proto 118s, 180cm Rustler 11s, 179cm Enforcers 104s, 179cm M-Free 99s, 180cm Ripstick 96, 179cm Mindbenders 116s, 181cm Nomads) and so I got the 176cm Line Blade.
I had read you should size ~5cm down for the Blade. Local ski shop told me the same thing.
PS I swapped my new 180cm Rustler 9’s back into the shop for some new 179cm Dynastar M-Frees 99s.
One ski I really want to A/B the 2021 Blade (154-95-124) against is my 2022 Elan Ripstick 96 Black Editions (134-96-113), which I find light, yet powerful and stable.
Also interesting is that I just bought the Freeskier Magazine 2022 Buyer’s Guide and the Line Blade has a 2-page ad spread and a 1-page review in that magazine. The Blade seems to be popping up everywhere, or Line is starting to market it more.

Line Blade
181cm
The 6’2” dude in this 2022 vid skis the 176cm?
Looks like a really fun ski for in the resort, when conditions are not blower. And laying trenches in spring slush.
I’m excited to try mine on early season groomers when not much is open off piste.

Line Blade
I’ve been sitting in the shadows trying really hard not to call the Blade the new BBR.
Watching this thread gush over the Line version of this genre has been quite telling. It has also been further support to why I can’t stand anything Line puts under my feet.
Don’t listen to me, tho. I’m one of the old school grey hairs on here always deleting stuff the next day once I realize I was talking shit and it’s kinda dumb.
Dumb like the Line Blade.Last edited by gaijin; 10-05-2021, 04:21 AM.It's like the movie Tron, but it's skiing through a forest.Comment
