What makes skiboards more enjoyable than skis?

Whatever... Do what you want. If you can rock the fuck out of them then more power to you!

Hope you enjoyed your first trip out west.

Just curious though, why no poles? I feel like with such short skis they'd help your balance a lot...

Won't hate on the skiboards, but all those times where you played the shot in reverse, then forward were kind of annoying.

Word

All I kept thinking was wow, another 270 out. Thats the thing, snow blades allow you to spin faster and do change ups like its nobody's business. For anything else ski related they completely useless and impractical. If you have fun go for it, but GTFO of here with ur patronizing title.

Good skiing but less reverse shots, less slowmo, and less hate on the haters

nah its the opposite. its easy to balance short skis without poles. the landings are what makes it hard because u dont have 90 cm of tail to fall back on.

No i dont have money for skis.

and there was def. more than 270s off. majority were front and blind 4

No you wouldn't.



I don't get why everybody hates on them so much. I've never tried them but I want to buy a pair, I think it'd be fun just to take them up once or twice a year just to dick around on and have fun. People care way to much what other people think instead of just having a good time.

would only use those things for park. would not even consider dropping cliffs or doing back-country with them.

riding snowlerblades in a backcountry/slackcountry/bigmountain environment is worse than riding hellbents in the park. just the thought of having a cliff lined up and fresh pow in the run out but snowlerblades on my feet would be miserable. i couldn't imagine anything more enjoyable than ripping a tech line with fresh snow and you simply can't do that on blades. not hate, just i can't see the point.

id rather stick my weiner into a small cup of gasoline and light it on fire...then be caught doing something different than everyone else! Its the same reason why I don't talk to girls at parties, I don't want to leave my comfort zone.

s anybody else laugh when they see someone in the liftline dressed all steezy and you look down and they have ski blades/ boards on? You guys are good, but i just think mini skis are soooo stupid. Why not get a real pair?

i think the reason that people hate is that it is mostly gapers that ride them. this was a pretty sick edit, you have what you need to back it up, so do it if you want

for example, edollo can pull it off

down a moderately steep slope with less than 6 inches of fresh snow.

you'd be surprised how much fun it is to slay a line in 30 inches of fresh with 155-122-155 at 184cm
