repost x 10.

skiblades, skiboards, snowllerblades, lazerblades all are hated by the majority on this site.

I like em. guess that makes me the minority....

A sport that has potential, but thus far has been squandered and resigned to be a second rate alternative to skiing thus far.

Obviously newschool skiing was pioneered in a big way by some of the skiboard OGs, but with the rise of freeskiing, skiboarding just seems lost.

I think it'd be dope to see some seriously talented riders carving out a niche for skiboarding...as in finding a way to differentiate it from skiing.

haha i know right?!

seriously though when it's super windy and the jumps are slow just strap on some snowblades and shred around! i wouldn't recommend buying some for more than $10 though.

I don't see why you all care what others ride.

Do any of you remember how snowboarders used to treat skiers?

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

I don't get hating on ski blades. It still skiing. I had a pair way back when. I don't use them anymore, but sometimes I lend them to people if they have no gear.

if you dont take it seriously its very fun, and if you only do it like once or twice a year it's legit.
