its the no leg kind of monoski....douchebag. judging by your icon though i assume you dont care, one guy hit a 65 ft booter on one of those during qualifiers, that takes so much balls.

I think that sport needs a new name. When I first heard of it I thought they were talking about the standing mono skis.
but that shit is sick. I watched it on espn classic last weekend. that has to be so muc harder than regular skiing.

ive gotten to teach kids at my mountain monoskiing. and it is so hard, definitely a lot harder to learn then normal skiing. so much respect for the people that do it.

Yeah,  it's official name shouldn't be mono-ski...

I've always called it sit-ski.  Because Mono-ski was taken (By dumbasses)

Marc-andre is killin it on a monoski. He has done a 180 in the mono off like a 20 foot table which is amazing for a monoski, i didnt think that was possible, and I think he will push monoskiing to a whole new level.
