hmmm I not sure how to take that... part of me is happy Line and Salomon quit because they were making shoddy products.... but the other half of me enjoyed their presence on the market, because they provided a big name to mass market a product similar to what we do.Revel8 Cities, Line FF Pro Bindings (orange)

I can't wait till I have some money.... I'm not sure which boards I'm gonna go with yet, but I'm thinking the KTP or one of Revolts. I am so happy that another company is picking up the slack.Last edited by Gorno; 03-30-2008, 11:06 AM.Revel8 Cities, Line FF Pro Bindings (orange)

Key differences... J-Lev sucked and left for the money...and Greco is....well awesome and would never even think about leaving skiboarding and everything he has helped to build.
You can't forget the history dude, as shitty as some of the people were...you can't just erase it. It is what it is.

And current twin-tipping is nothing like it was 5 years ago, that doesn't mean that they don't owe what they have to the previous. We all do owe our respect to line for what they did for the sport. However, we also must keep a critical view for abandoning the sport. We can also look at it as a good thing, because if line were still making boards, who knows if the demand for Revel8 would have ever existed. We should all keep our roots at heart and not turn our backs on those that created us like many twin-tippers do. To say that we owe line nothing would make us no better than the twin-tippers that deny that skiboarding is their roots.I do it because I can.
I can because I want to.
I want to because you said I couldn't.

Did I miss something ? Did I somewhere say they had nothing to do with how skiboarding is today ? I don't even feel safe posting on this board anymore without being eaten the fuck alive after every post.
i've begun construction on the crucifix here at home...

I'm done.Last edited by Mark; 03-31-2008, 08:38 AM.

I'm sorry guys. and ska you were correct in your statement, no need to apologize.
what i meant was, salomon and line are not currently supporting skiboarding.
i imagine by tommorow what i've just said will mean something different entirely though.
see everyone next season.
