                  Really? They have the sickest guarantee program anywhere; you can send anything you buy from them back at any time for a full refund or replacement. I won't buy most of my gear from anywhere but there because of that.

                  Not to mention I laughed; if they would have said skiboards, it would have been more of a blatant bash I think.

                    My only gripe with Backcountry affiliates is that they only ship with UPS. Which is absolute rape when crossing the border. Most shipments are easily double the price on UPS then they are with USPS.

                        I'm incredibly insulted. Yea, right. Now, while we (skiboarders) overwhelming feel that as long as you are doing it on snow you are doing well we must all remember that "purchasing a life" is huge business. I love Back Country. They're great.

                        Oh, yea, snowblades are the bottom of any barrel. Now, some of us have them and keep them around for a variety of reasons but no one would claim they somehow represent the current state of any form of snowsliding. This is one area our open mindedness shines through - we see someone on blades and encourage them. We're happy to see them. But, we also encourage them to try a more modern approach in the form of skiboards in order to enjoy more of the mountain.

                          I think it's funny. And being such a HUGE Willy Wonka fan (see my quote) I can't help but think of snozzberries. Maybe snollerblades are the Willy Wonka equivalent to snowblades. And if one really does have a pair of snollerblades, maybe it IS time for an upgrade. They should take advantage and start selling something else, like WWWWD? (What Would Willy Wonka Do?) bracelets!

                          Nobody better try to steal that, I'm off to trademark it right now...

                            Eh, deal with it. As always, most skiers views of skiboards come from Snowblades. They are terrible and while giving up the things that we give up riding skiboards, they don't provide the advantages that better skiboards do. BC is awesome. I have bought tons of stuff from them. Remember, if you aren't going to support BC, there are tons of other outdoor gear sites associated (tramdock, SAC, a few snowboarding related sites, chainlove, etc.). I honestly couldn't care less what someone says about my boards.
                            I do it because I can.
                            I can because I want to.
                            I want to because you said I couldn't.

                              its funny but some skiers see skiboarders(not knowing what they are) and thinks "why not upgrade to skis" while skiboarders sees snowbladders and thinks" why not upgrade to skiboards"
