Description of Line Limited Edition Anthem Spirals Skis '09 Eric Pollard is one of the few skiers respected world-wide not only for his forward thinking and creative skiing style, but also for his artwork (link to NS story D-Structure art show). So when we needed unique graphics for a limited edition release of one of our most popular freestyle skis, It was obvious we need to give the project to Pollard. Eric has created 2 new graphic versions of the original Anthem (link to pop up of Anthem Story). The construction is the same, but the graphics are as one-of-a-kind as Pollard’s skiing. If you’re looking for skis that no one else has, that will set you apart from the rest, then this is the model you’ve been waiting for. Remember there are very limited quantities. With less than 150 pair, per size, per model world wide, they won’t last long. The Original Anthem Story If you’re a core long time Line fan, you are probably thinking these skis look familiar. . . well you’re right! This is the story of the Original Anthem. It was the fall of 2006, our website was launching, ski magazines were out and we were about to ship shops the most progressive park ski of the time. It was a new model called the Anthem with a mind blowing 93mm waist, Butterzones, 100% symmetric, center mounted jib ski designed to slay the park. The graphics were as unique as it’s design. It was a collage of rock and roll musicians with the best base graphics ever conceived, zebra stripes. It was all hand drawn by our in-house artist of the time, Tim Clayton. Skiing and rock and roll! whats not to like? Even Maxim magazine called us to feature it in their gear section. It was then that the Anthem’s luck turned for the worst. Not long after Maxim hit the stands we received a call from someone accusing us of using their image in the graphics. Being the small brand we are, we weren’t about to go to court over it, so the ski never made it to market. It was a sad day for the Anthem, and even sadder for all of the skier’s like us, envisioning what was possible with those dream skis on our feet. This summer we committed to bringing these living legends of progression back to life. They have now been graphically re-incarnated in the form of Octoland and Sprials by Eric Pollard. These skis will now live forever becoming over time one of the most talked about parts of Line’s Anthem history.
