Yeah, I skiboarded a season and a half about 3-4 years ago (Groove Skywalkers, so pimp). It really taught me a lot, both in and out of the park. Then my binding broke one day so I rented 1080s and fell in love with skiing again.

For sure they can be a good learning tool. A friend of mine skiboarded two seasons for only two weeks each year, then rented a pair of 1080s and he was carving and keeping up with me within one run. Compare that to normal ski instruction which would take years to get that good.

you can't say bad about it if you never tried it, it is really fun while your doing it but once you go back to skiing you really realise how much more fun skiing is. i finally switched back to skiing this season but i odnt regret skiboards or n e thing like that cuz it was fun n all.

mommy, that would be so funny to see someone walking down the street in their snowblades!

the first time i tried it (last year) i could 5 very easily. at that time, i has just gotten my twins and i couldnt even 3. skiboarding is easy to spin, but hard to land.

also, brad holmes has an interesting 'article' in Freeze. in one of the editions, it gives you like 15 uses for snowblades. its pretty funny.

i hate when people say that they didnt try it and dont want to because of what people might think of them. who gives a flying fuck what people think if you like it. 90% of the people that do it like it

yeah ive got some skiboards, i skiboard off and on b/c i need a little diversity here in wisconsin. the thing is with skiboards everything (even the hard shit) just looks stupid. i had my dad take a few shots of me pulling some 7's with mutes and shit which big 40 foot tables (big here in wisconsin) and when i looked at the pics i just looked like a fucking retard in them. there is no style to skiboards what so ever. you can never go as big as skiers or as fast, cant ski in pow for shit. so exactly what is the point it them if nothing is good about them. accually there is one good thing about them and that is teaching little kids to spin. my little cousin was having trouble pulling clean 3's so i put him on my skiboards and after that his 3's were much smoother

I tried it when it first came out. It was fun for a little, but then it got old. Once I started skiing again I wondered why I ever used snowblades.

you could ask why people ever made skis.. or snowboards... id comment on how much of a stupid question that was, but we all know theres no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people
