I have to convert my friend. so i wanted to know if there were any edits out there that showed how much cooler it was. He sent me this sucky edit so i have got to blow him away. Thanks

They both have equal coolness levels, just one board vs. two boards. Except if your really into urban, skiing urban does not compare to boarder urban.
But if you want to show your friend a cool vid show him the trailer for "Attack of La Nina," such a ruckus vid.

hate to say it but you sir are wrong snowboarding is much cooler, styles better, videos are better, urban is on another level skiing is just more fun which is why that is what i'll stick to

Those are actually what converted me. I realized I enjoyed watching them way more than any snowboarding edit and they made me want to ski. Two years later I couldn't be happier with my decision.



So OP here are my suggestions for your friends to watch:

Here's a random edit I found yesterday that might show him a different view on skiing rather than just the standard "cool tricks", the quality and editing isn't the best but it's got some pretty cool stuff, maybe it'll show him some of the stuff possible on skis?

Both are awesome, but its a proven fact that skiers go faster and go bigger.

Ski Urban looks way better to me tho...jus sayin

Snowboarders hang out at SKI resorts. Open a snowboard resort and see how long that shit stays open. If it wasn't for skiers, their sport would virtually cease to exist.

I think skiing is cooler. But let people do whatever they wanna do, dont try to convert ppls. Skiing does not rly need more people.

i personally think that skiing is a lot more versitille, take any of the new trailers for movies theres every aspect of skiing in them park, urban, pow, and big mountain. sure theres sweet park and urban shots in the snowboard movies but when was then last time you saw a snowboarder ripping a steep and deep big mountain line? ive got friends who snowboard theres nothing wrong with it and we all shred together and have a good time
