Comments about Line Skis Afterbang:
I got these skis last year when i had destroyed my old ones, and I was very impressed by these skis.I mainly ski park and these skis are perfect for that. the spin easily and slide well on rails. They are the perfect weight and are very flexible. To any other park skiers looking for new skis, i reccomend these.

Comments about Line Skis Afterbang:
I have the 2010 purple 177's couldnt be happier with them, they are by far the most fun ive had on a ski. That feeling you get when you are unsure whether to go big or stay conservative in the park goes away. The ski looks awesome and holds up great.

Comments about Line Skis Afterbang:
These skis are what i rode on for most of the 2010-2011 season. they are super flexy and i really like skateboard deck design. They spun really easy and i had no problem bringing them around. For those who like a ski that is great for carivng,these might not be the best for that, this is because the skateboard deck design really keeps the edges small even if there newly sharpened. Im a park skier and i love these skis i recomend them to anyone like me.

AFTERBANG TECHNOLOGY
EARLY TAPER™
The widest point of sidecut starts tapering earlier in the tip to reduces tail drag and hooking in powder.
SKATE DECK™
Built the same as a skateboard deck with up to 7-plys of horizontally laminated maple veneers for uncompromised strength & resistance to shock.
50% Less plastic than a sidewall ski60% Less wood waste
SYMMETRIC FIVECUT™
5 different sizes of sidecut radius shapes are blended into one symmetric shape, for intuitive control & unlimited turn shapes skiing forward & backwards
SYMMETRIC FLEX
The same ski flex in-front and behind your boot conforms to terrain for equally performance riding forward & backwards.
BUTTER ZONE™
The top veneers end at a specific point in front & behind the binding to create a distinct “hinge” point for smooth, controllable nose/tail presses and buttering that doesn’t restrict all-mountain handling.
CARBON OLLIEBAND™
Tip to tail carbon-fiber stringers are vertically laminated into the core for more energy & pop for ollieing over snowboarders.
TIGERSNAKE
Used on the best skis in the world! An electrical conduit is woven into the core with control knobs on top, so the ski can become aggressive like a tiger, while maintaining natural flex . . . like a snake!
