same as a skateboard but you have to pop alot hard to get the same hiehgt/spin. practice on your carpet in shoes and then take it to the snow. my fave trick is varial flip off a rail

dude bi decks are more like snowboarding. go with a wood mini premier. its tight, and easy to do flip tricks on. it feels like a skateboard. I can land tre flips on my snowskate, but hardly ever on my skateboard. so yeah, go with a mini wood premier and you wont be disspointed

if you can skate, you should have no prob riding a snowskate. Get a burton with the blade and its the shit.
