Not only did they fuck up the live feed online, slap the entire sport of skiing in the face with their dick by cancelling slopestyle, confine the riders to a single trick, employ the worst followcammers of all time, but now they gonna claim skiboarding wasn't in the x-games. picture 5 of the ski slideshow on expn.com "It's a good thing snollerblading was never added to the x-games. Charles Gagnier's glad we missed that boat. His switch 10 is, too" Fuck you X-Games, skiboarding was the illest shit ever in the x-games. ppl used to throw some crazy shit back then.
I myself do both - ski and skiboard. Season is too short in my opinion to argue between the two sports but I'll definitely admit it's sad that they're trying to deny something that did exist. It'd be nice to see it back or at least admit that it existed... can't undo the past or the proof that still stands in videos and pictures.
I myself have never skibladed but It looks funn to dick around on even though i would bust my ass. Every time i see some body with them I stare, then just laugh to myself.
I attribute much of my jump balance to the fact that I used to snowblade when I was like 12 and 13... if you didnt land perfect you were gonna be in for a ride... oh and those "non releasable bindings" they release haha
Here's a thought: What was snowboarding like when it was first invented/introduced? Was it "frowned upon" by skiers then like skiboarding seems to be now?
If so, maybe in a decade or so, skiboarding will be more accepted.
Do you you guys think skiboarding is on an increase or decrease? Gaining or losing popularity?
I'll be honest--- lots of the best guys....uuuuu how bout Pollard--- used to skiboard....before twintips.....that's what everyone did...I used to back in the late 90's---- I'm better on skis than on skiboards...so don't necessarily write it off....how bout mike nick, mike wilson, ummmm...pretty much any original Line guy....I love skiing--- but give crdit to where our twintips came from.
skiboarding is for..whats that word? oh yah...fags. dont forget to take those boot protectors off the front of your boots next time you go out skiboarding cause everyone seems to forget.
