    Line Assassins

    Anyone heard anything about this ski thats not in that video clip? I really like it and it looks good. I'm also leaning towards the Line's for my next pair cause of the Reactor Binding. They seem to be a good all mountain ski. Thoughts?

    I want a pair of Prophets. I've currently got a pair of Motherships and they're a very sweet ski indeed. Most who've ridden Line skis seem to love 'em but you'll still find a lot of haters who think they're just jib sticks. I'd be very interested to try the Assassins.

    I'm curious, why do you want Reactors?

    I like the way they mount, they are new and innovative and I'm paranoid about my 1 remaining good knee.

    I'm a little paranoid about a binding that was released, then drawn back from the market. I like the idea of it, but I would want a few more years of product testing before I slap on a pair. It's kind of like the Nordica binding, looked neat, was around for two years, next year they are switching to Markers.
    Skiing, where my mind is even if my body isn't.

    Someone in another thread was saying that the binding works fine, just the toe piece has been popping off. They recalled it for quality control issues, and I guess have fixed it and are releasing it next season. Just what I heard/read.

    Man, the toe piece coming off is kinda a big deal. I dont know about you, but I dont want my toe pieces flying off.

    I like to let other people test out the "new and innovative" devices that may or may not chew up my knees or spit me off my skis. I guess that would make you "other people."

    has anyone ridden the armada arv's? i'm realling looking into getting a pair at the end of this season/beginning of next season.

    flex, etc?

    as for bindings, i'll stick to looks and sollys. i like the idea of the lines, but the mounting screws only occupy a very small area in the center of the ski, and it looks like the screws could just rip out real easy if the binding is stressed too much.
