Because the next logical step in ski technology development was to make fatter ski blades too, right?

People are going to think these are stupid at first... but watch them catch on like twin tips did. Fatblades are the future of skiing.

The only legit fat snow blades ever ridden were Shane McConkey's.

And with no release system gapers will get to enjoy tons of blown knees.

Wow. It's like they're trying to come up with the worst idea ever, and then combine it with other terrible ideas from the past like a shit garnish. It's like a poor choice salad.

I never understood this.. How the hell do you blow out a knee in snowblades? Why do they release? No one ever blows out a knee rollerblading, there's no tips or tails to catch on anything.

Serious question, how does anyone blow out their knees on snow blades? Why do they even release? It's like rollerblading, you don't have tips or tails to catch on anything.

Could you repeat that? I didnt get it the first time



But to answer your question I cant imagine it being easy to blow out a knee but I did manage to fuck up my ankle on a pair. I went to hit a rail and my front SkiBlade went under it (it was only a few inches off the ground with a support on the end) My blade caught and I was rag-dolled to the ground. I already had a torn acl in this knee at that point and it surprisingly didnt hurt my it
