i totally was a hardcore rollerblader in 6th grade and when my cousin wanted to take us up to mt. hood to try skiing for the first time i went to go rent a snowboard and then i was like hey these are like rollerblades. so glad i started on snowbladers otherwise i'd be a snowboarder right now probably. haha i used to think it was cool... silly me.

Classic!

But I don't know if I would ever admit to snowlerblading. Thank God I never have done it.

You guys are brave to 'fess up!

Yup, I started last year on skiboards. I ended up snapping one pair in half and the second pair I ended up denting the edge so bad I gave up hope on them (oh yeah, and I wasn't even doing rails, so I have no clue how the dent happened). I mean, honestly, they're fun and I wouldn't mind riding them once in a while. Since it seems a good percentage of newschoolers started on skiboards, why all the hate?
