The Line MNPs were my first venture into a true pair of skiboards. Prior to this, I owned the original version of the Salomon Snowblades. This was a world of difference in performance, speed, stability, and overall fun. This was my favorite skiboard until a few seasons ago when both Summit and RVL8 starting making their own skiboards and have taken the sport to a new level. What I enjoyed about the MNPs were their speed and their agility. The could handle all east coast conditions, flying down the mountain. The only problems I ever had with them were in powder, where I would get stuck in deep powder and that was no fun. With the evolution of skiboards being wider, this problem has now been solved.
For their time, the MNPs were the best skiboards out there, and if you can get your hands on a pair cheap, they are still a great skiboard to get yourself introduced to the sport or to have a pair to abuse, but with the evolution of the current crop of skiboards, the MNPs are now a skiboard of the past, a dinosaur that has been surpassed.
