Skiboards RULE!!
i took up skiboarding in 1991 or so. had been a skier since 36 yrs old -and not a good one.
bought 4 pr of Kneissl BigFoots.
leaned on what was a parabolic edge long before the green rossignols of the day had any sidecut to em at all.
we got real swell on ice to hardpack to knee high powder.
eventually went thru a faulty pair of Cannon's that broke - -then Klimax
finally Line Mike Nick Pros and Jedi's for #1 son.
now at best of all worlds - - -Line MNPs with Flow Snowboard bindings and Snowboard boots - -
and i have the confidence that my experience will prove the same as GoHammer92 - -moving from MNPs to Revel8 Rockered Condors will not be hard at all - -Flow bindings and Soft boots will find a beauty home on the RCs in backcountry and powder - -
the MNPs will be my Baldy Boards - -snow, ice, rocks, mud - baldy has it all - - - powder? - - - not so much!!
the best part is i can drag my Snowboard up to the mtn and give it a couple hours of fun without switching boots - -
ahhh the boots on an old man's feet - -lighter and easier to maneuver and less tiring at the end of the day!!!
JUNIOR SKIBOARDER?? i so wish to be junior again!! shred this - - 63 and feeling younger in my light boots.
______________
i will keep the Line Elizabeth 159 skis for future dreams of Cat Skiing or deep powder in AK and BC- - unless and until the RCs prove to be - -go anywhere in the deepest powder skiboards. Do you think you would get eyes rolling in a snowcat with folks gawking at your skiboards?? i have been cursed at by snowboarders and skiers alike - spit on from the chair and told to get that crap of their mountain - -to which i just jump in off a cornice while they debate the line - -and ski down the tree lined chair on the steepest line on the mountain - - just to show off skiboarding. the worst is when they warn me that i might get injured real bad -- or the very very worst --- they call em Sled Dogs !!!
