The Line Afterbang is a revolution in park ski construction, one that replaces traditional topsheet-sidewall-core layup with a single element straight from the skate origins of park and pipe: hardrock maple. Built like a skateboard deck, the Afterbang starts as a 7-ply maple blank with carbon stringers, and adds just a base, metal edges, and a protective fiberglass coat on top to complete the package. It butters, pops, and rails like nothing you’ve ever ridden, and it just might change the ski industry forever.
Continuous 7-ply maple Deck Construction provides strength, durability, and pure wood flex
Carbon stringers amplify pop without adding weight
Center mount Symmetrical Geometry optimizes park and pipe performance
Fatty Base & Edge sidewall construction takes a beating on the hill and on the tuning table

will Line next year be making bigger afterbang skis...cuz i'm 6'5" 180pounds and im a good all round skiier but wanted to get more into park however im lookin for a longer ski (so far biggest ski i have found is 183 which is smaller than what i am currently riding)
I'm 6'5 240 lbs. I ride Line Anthems 181. They give me more than enough speed. Especially for park you should have no problems on skis that size, especially condsidering how little you weight (relatively of course). Hope that helps
A bigger version of the Afterbang with some carbon fiber is in the works for next season. Will likely be in the low 180cm's range though. Most park boards are pretty short since agile is the name of the game. You may want to check out some bigger fat skis that are twin'd. Something like an EP Pro, Prophet 130, K2 ObSethed, or 4FRNT, Moment, and Armada offerings.
this ski is sick i'm 5'8 or 5'9 and ride the 177's there so sick on rails and it is so easy to do butters on them because of the new butterzones! they are also good on the jumps too i love these skis.
Is the Afterbang significantly softer than the Chronic in flex? Also, is there a mounting point for more all-mountain riding? Or is center-mounting the only recommended point?
You will ruin the performance of this ski if you dont center mount it. This is a jib specific ski at its core and park in general. Look for a different ski if you want to go all mountain. You probably wont be happy with the ski otherwise.
it's a symmetric ski, why the F*** would you mount it back, seriously though mount it center if you don't we will all laugh at you on the mountain. if you want a more all mountain cruiser get the chronics or the Cronic cryptonite because they can be mounted back but still destroy in the park jumps and to a lesser extent rails. the afterbang is a cheap, non-pricepoint ski that absolutly destroys in the park but cant handle the more technical stuff as well
I got these skis and fell in love. Now take in mind that I am very loyal to line and have been for 3 years now but these skis are epic. The butter zones are stellar and the have excellent snap. They are perfect weight not to heavy nor to light. I have skied on all 3 sizes, I am 5'9" and 125 lbs. The 155s are great for butters, and presses. The 166s are pretty good for smaller jumps and some buttering. The 177s which i own do pretty good for butters, they hold up great in the park, and on jumps are perfect. I love taking these thing for a back country thrash session, and have not broken yet
such a fun ski... the butter zone is so easy to light up. It is easy to go at slow speed and does remarkably well at higher speeds. Lock it up with a Jester or Griffon and it is money.
I'm 5'8 and 185 lbs should move up to the 177cm ? Also how much less poppy are they than the anthem that I skied last year..? Any comments would help..
i can't attest to skiing on last years anthem, but as far as sizing, you could go with either 166 or 177. 177 will have more speed, but for your height, will be harder to control. 166 you'll definitely whip around. think about your riding style. if you're going big, go with bigger sticks.
Hey im 5'11" to 6' and about 215lbs and i was wondering if these would be a good ski for me and also was wondering how these handle jumps because my main worry is washing out
The '77 may be pretty small for you. It's a true twin, center mount ski and is pretty soft way up at the tips and tails. If you want a Line jib ski, I'd say check out the Chronic as it's more solid and still super good for freestyle skiing. Line is batting around the idea of a bigger Afterbang ski for next season, so keep an eye out.
These skis definitely handle jumps pretty well for a softer ski. Not as great as some of the stiffer skis out there but they should be fine for anything 40' and under. If you mostly shred park on the east or midwest these skis will be a good choice...you will want to go bigger than the 155cm that's on here though.
I'm tempted to say the 166 is better... but I know that for now it is too long. The 155 should get you by for that long, but definitely only in the park.
