I dont know if you guys have ever heard of Harb Carvers, but i have just learned about them recently. Apparently they are like rollerblades but you are able to lean on edge so that you can get the skiing sensation. People go down hills with these things, poles and everything. it looks pretty sweet. heres a link to their site where you can also see pictures.

Ha, kinda agree but anything is better than sitting getting fat. After watching the waterski shit I am reconsidering life, I have waited for our answer of global warming

ever tried a mountainbike?

it goes downhill, you can lean, and it looks less gay than those rollerblades.

its funny because racers up in government camp use them after skiing in morning. which brings up another point: ski in the summer. good times

cross country rollerskis are the way to go for jibbing-you can prolly mount dh bindings on them, otherwise mountain bike.

has anyone tried kiteboarding with those waterskis?

I wouldn't brag about being a ski instructor, not always a positive thing, skiing always costs money where it is gas, food, weed, booze, never free even for ski instructors.Unless you are Aspen ski school of course, Dexter&TJ are PIMP instructors.

Our neighbors played croquet all the time as a family and their son turned gay, so I'm set with that.
