Wait, people still ski board? I know that sounds sort of cliche but I think it's been more than two seasons since I've even seen a mook riding a pair or skiboards. Where do these guys ride? Which areas still have a skiboard scene? I didn't see a single pair all season in Europe that I can remember. I don't think I even saw any the season before around Ontario, which I would think would be one of the last bastions of skiboarding.

These threads are lame. Who cares.


Shocker: I used to skiboard! Whoa!

Who gives a shit. I used to have fun doing it. Twin tip skis were not available to me at the time so I skiboarded and it was fun.

Ben (the kid they're referring to) Wannamaker is a good friend of mine and skis and skiboards with the best of them. I believe he's sponsored by Liberty skis.

Don't hate on skiboards. There's nothing worse than someone hating on something you enjoy doing.

I don't think there is a "scene" necessarily, but I saw snowlerblading a couple of times this year at Timberline, OR.  They gaped pretty hard and I was a bit worried they were going to break themselves off.

I see the odd group of ski balders in Ontario, maybe two or three every day.
This year there a pack of mexican ski balders all camped out on the landing of a jump where no one could see them, needless to say i clipped two of them, which was followed  by lot of vulgar Spanish words

Haha, I don't know what they're talking about. Their "If you don't know everything, you aren't a newschooler" idea is hilarious. And that NIG edit was seriously the first edit of snowblades that actually looked steezy. I didn't know that was possible. Ha.

A lot of people snowblade on PEI (they outnumber people with twin tips by a lot) and some do in Newfoundland.
