I would be surprised if it hasn't been posted on here at some point but I've never seen it at least not that I can remember.

Anybody want to join with me? Seems like it could be fun.

That's a generous description.

That forum reminds me of the heartcarve guy.

I know, that was one of my favorite parts. Imagine hiking into the backcountry to hit powder on those things.

at the mountain in vermont i work at there is maybe 5 regulars who ride skiboard. they are all 60+ year old men. they seem skilled with them and seem to really enjoy themselves. it looks lame to me but as long as people are having fun i am no one to judge others

I learned a hell of a lot on the skiboards. Wouldn't recommend it though. Maybe good for a day-hire. I use them now to lift over my head for exercise and bicep curls. I can go into details...I just hope/plan to get some new models of my slayers out soon for freestyle, based on what I've learned and expect.

"...when using proper skiboards our sport is called skiboarding not
snowblading or skiblading."

skiboarding to skiing is the same as riding a bike with training wheels. Why would one do it? Only because its so much easier and they are fucking lazy and cant be bothered to learn something new.
Its the same as riding a scooter instead of a skateboard, i hate people like that so much.

Yeah dude, I'm waiting in a moderation queue right now.


Yeah pretty much. Which in turn makes us all just a bunch of freethinkers! You should of seen the looks on all the faces yesterday as I charged the hill with such fierce control and passed up the guys with snow boards and skis. I know they were thinking " I have to get me some of those!"


I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE IT.

Samesies. Whatever. Reading through their shit makes me appreciate NS so much more.

I found like 5 threads in about 10 seconds that were just them bitching about people hating on them. Pussies.

several things are definitely easier with skis on, dont think skiboarding is easier.

maybe on small jumps or rails, it would be easier, but the added forward/backward balance definitely helps skis.

then, idk how you can actually ride with them on slopes, its so much harder.


it looks pretty stupid, yes, but i disagree with it being always easier

well, really, levinthal owes a TON of his success to skiboards and he only makes small batches anyway so if enough skiboarders wanted him to, maybe he should...

also skiboarding idk it's a tiny bit gay but hating on it is way gayer

There was a reason for it to exist before twin tip skiing became the norm. Those were the start of the modern park skiing movement.


At this point in time there really is no reason for them to exist.


As much as inline skating gets hate, it is it's own unique sport. Skiboarding is a half assed version of skiing.


That said somebody had snowboard bindings mounted on some when I worked at west a while back. Those were super super sketchy but fun as hell.

I'm still baffled at how serious this website is.
blading is the scootering of the ski and snowboard industry. but at least scooters have their own tricks, blading is pretty much skiing, minus the presses, and a lot more screamin seamens.

i mean yeah. also, convergent evolution sorta happened with twin tips anyway so it could be argued that they werent necessary, but j lev def got his start as a skiboard maker

but yeah dont get me wrong, theyre pointless, but all sports are

Ya, but 90% of the tricks out there are 90987596487459456 times easier on skiblades.

Also that guy in your video wasn't even that good by skiing standards...

Well post up your edit, and I have skied on them a few times they are actually way harder than you would think. Lean too far back or forward and you fall.

I know someone who can suck dicks better than 90% of ns. And sucking dick is harder than you think. Does that make them cool and deserving of some respect?

Also, every edit I've watched of skiboarding just looks bad. Poor editing, music, etc. but overall just poor skiing. Nothing is smooth. Everything looks awkward and forced. I guess its because anybody with any real talent would just ski

They have a few tricks, but 80% of the time style is 0% there.

Henrik schools all current bladers hands down. Funny he shreds as a joke for fun and his level is soooooo much higher.

That must be frustrating for them.
