in all seriousness, mike nick is the man and he was sick at snowblading (and skiing obviously, but that goes without saying).. that 7 at 1:23 is super unique too


also pretty classic when he says to Jay "you see how fuckin big i just went?"

Anyone LOLZing this is where park skiing started. At the time these guys were hitting rails and boosting air in the "snowboard park" skiers were strictly about moguls and straight skis. Riding switch was for snowboarders and snowbladers (see where Im going here).

Am I the only one who thinks that snowblades are so lame that even watching a video with them somehow makes skiing a little less cool?

I am! Skiboards started this movement and deserve some credit. There wouldn't be a a twin tip ski if these didn't exist. There is pros and cons to them definitely but overall they are pretty cool,and put a different spin on things. I own a pair of rvl8's myself and sometimes i favor these for certain things. Treeskiing is a lot more enjoyable!

Skiing and snowboarding are cool fads but I personally believe that snowblades are immortal.

Fully back this idea. It would be absolutely amazing. I mean they do snowkating demo comps at x games.

^ Watch that.



PS: I'd be down to throw in money toward a demo. I wanna see some people throw down on those things. Hell, I'd even give it a shot if people are being pussies.

If some 17 year boy started snowblading today, do you think he would have a chance at beating the pro female skiers at x-games 2015? I do..
