cool but i feel like they should be spinning atleast 10s off everything. They do pretty average tricks that people with actual skis do.

Revel8 is to skiboarding as ON3P is to skiing.

that video of young mike wilson was sick....wicked goggle tan and possibly the first double attempt on snowlerblades ever??

but i still don't understand the advantage of riding those shorties....can anybody offer any explanation as to why one would opt to ride those instead of normal skis???  they didn't appear to be doing anything that can't be done on skis.  i met an old dude one time who was really into backcountry and he told me that he used them sometimes to navigate areas that he couldn't get to on skis...not really sure what he meant by that.  maybe super tight trees or extremely narrow chutes...idk

not hating...just a tad perplexed as i've been trying to wrap my brain around this one for the last 20 years or so

does there need to be an advantage to something for it to be fun? Do whatever floats your boat.

Revel8 just this year (ithink) released the first rockered skiboards. I have no idea how that would work with them being so short, but apparently its pretty legit.

True story.

I was in an anonymous ski shop in seattle and I asked about some snow blades in the back. The response was as follows: Your not asian though!

How was that, bro?

we skiboard 98% of the time, My good friend Dave Lynam, who is also sponsored by Revel8 Skiboards throws multiple dubs.

we do it because its fun, why does no one understand that?

Yeah Revel8 is one of the only skiboarding manufacturers left. They are trying to keep it alive for the ppl that still love it. Were not trying to bring it back to xgames. Its for the fun of it.
