I am friends with Ethan Manis, who has been taken under the wing of Dave "Fourdown" Bloom, and wanted to ask how does skiboarding feel? I have been snowboarding for two years now, but I want to try skiboarding now...

It truly feels like rollerblading. Everyone here told me that, and I wasn't sure if I believed them, until I tried it. Having been a life long recreational blader, I wasn't sure how the movements would transfer to being on the snow. And even though skiboards are much longer than your blades, I can't think of a better similarity. So, if you know how to rollerblade, your ability to pick up skiboarding will only take you about 3 green runs, if that. And if you don't blade, just knowing what it feels like to slide on the snow, will help you out. Regardless, it's AWESOME and easy to pick up!
ENJOY!If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.

I know skiboards kind of look ridiculous, but I've actually always liked that feeling of counterculture we have here. I like it when people are like, what the hell are those?
At the hill, I am usually one of the faster guys. I don't think people expect to see skiboarders going at breakneck speeds. I don't think people realize the capabilities of skiboards, period.
Anyway, the feeling of shorter skis amounts to feeling more free. Less weight on your feet, less ski to turn. Suddenly, wooded runs don't look so daunting, and moguls are fun! Landing takes a bit more practice, since you have less to land on, but it's usually no issue.

As a skiboarder who just arrived from the dark side i have to tell you it's a lot more fun than skiing!!! No poles, and no awkward snowplough... Just come and become a padawan, and we have cookies as well!Line Jedis

As long as you have rolled along some kind of surface with something under each foot, it will be no problem. Maybe 1 or two days until you are off the green slopes. Just don't push your limits too far too fast. May the Force be with you!Line Jedis
