The 2027 Line Ruckus with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a purpose-built junior park ski, the right call for smaller shredders learning rails, jumps, and switch riding. An aspen veneer core, symmetric flex pattern, and twin tip shape combine for a ski that is easy to control at junior speeds while still feeling like a real freestyle ski. We paired the Ruckus with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

Symmetric Flex is what makes this ski work for kids learning freestyle. Flex is the same in tip and tail, so switch skiing feels as natural as forward skiing, which is critical when a young skier is figuring out spins and presses for the first time.

Who it's for:

Junior beginner through intermediate park skiers who are learning rails, jumps, and tricks. A great first park ski for kids who want a real freestyle experience without the price tag of a flagship.

Highlights:

Rocker here is more conservative than on the adult freestyle skis in Line's lineup, which is the right call for junior skiers, because less rocker means more edge contact and a more predictable feel for anyone still building technique. An aspen veneer core keeps the ski light enough for junior weights and snappy enough to feel alive underfoot, and the symmetric flex pattern is the freestyle signature, equal at both ends so switch riding feels natural. An 82 mm waist is a true park-focused width, narrow enough to feel quick on rails and through spin transitions but wide enough for occasional all-mountain fun. A tight turn shape suits the speeds and terrain young skiers spend their time on, and the length range covers the typical junior park skier nicely. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

This waist is not built for soft snow, so kids who chase powder days should look at the Bacon Shorty instead. The Ruckus is purpose-built for park skiing and rails.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Junior sizing applies here, so choose based on the skier's height and weight with standard junior guidelines from your shop, remembering that park-focused kids tend to go shorter for easier rail work.
