Line Skis have changed the ski building game again.... these days skiers are hitting terrain and features that your more likely to find in a skate video, albeit covered in snow. So why not build a ski the same as a skateboard?? So they did, check it out
Line Skis Introduces New Deck™ Ski Construction
- Four Years in the Making, Line’s New Construction utilizes the most respected construction in Action Sports.
Seattle, Wash. – For 2009-2010, Line has invented a completely new ski construction that replaces the core, topsheet and sidewalls with a seven ply Hard Rock Maple veneer Deck™ construction, edge to edge, tip to tail. Line eliminated the traditional topsheet, sidewall and core in its new Afterbang ski and instead built the ski exactly like a skateboard deck. Four years in the making, this twin tip park and urban banger’s construction results in uncompromised strength and resistance to shock throughout the entire ski.
The Hard Rock Maple veneer Deck™ of the Afterbang provides strength and resistance throughout the entire ski. The seven layers are stacked from bottom to top, each layer progressively shorter in length to create an engineered flex pattern, similar to leaf-spring suspension in cars. A fiberglass laminate configuration on the top and bottom controls torsional responsiveness and flex.
The revolutionary Afterbang construction process is also friendlier to Mother Earth than traditional ski construction methods, using 40% less plastic than cap construction, 50% less plastic than sidewall construction and producing 60% less wood waste.
Paying homage to the days of neon and half pipes, the one-of-a-kind graphics are even done by legendary 80’s skateboard artist Jimbo Phillips.
“For the past 14 years our mission at Line has been to always question status quo. We are a different kind of ski company that thinks differently from the product we create, to the way we ride it, to the way we communicate it and everything inbetween. This ski is truly the epitome of that mindset and extremely rewarding to see it prove that there’s still opportunity for such a unique product to be created still today.”, said Line Skis Founder and Brand Director Jason Levinthal.
