Skiboarding on anything other than snow?

lets see some pictures maybe we can help you with what your doing wrong

well i have none but we got some plasticy green grass stuff and staked it down on my little hill. We got it real wet with a hose but when we went down we got stuck and didnt slide. I belive we need a starting ramp or something......

[Kirk S]

yeah a ramps helps use soap detergent I saw that in a video once makes it more slippery

i guese ill try it but it probably wont work. Any other ideas for summer riding?

[tyberesk]

you can use that orange snowfence stuff....im pretty sure. Go on newschoolers and search for summer set ups...they have lots of good stuff on there.


What i have read involves these materials
Orange Snowfence
Astroturf + Soap/Water
Carpet +Soap/Water
Carpet with Snowgel

I'm just curious how many of you ride inline skates or do watersports in the summer? Here in Florida we have numerous skate parks including one's managed in municipal parks. For us, once the season is over, it is off to the skate parks or water. This weekend for me was spent at an island ski party in Palm Bay and wakeskating 4 miles down the St John's River.

We also have a place called Orlando Watersports Complex where one can ride pretty much any time. They have rails and jumps and all kinds of neat stuff set up. It is a little expensive for me since I have a boat and I find riding behind that more fun since I don't ride rails or hit kickers. I would recommend instead of finding ways to continue snowboarding trying a different sport that gives you a similar rush. I am a bit of an adrenalin junkie so watersports suit my fancy perfectly.

i started skating last year....and i gotta say its alot of fun, but im not a big fan of falling on asphalt....cuz it sucks lol

[Nick21861]

thats y i dont do it

[mctwist311]

that orlando watersports complex looks cool but you would never find me playing in lakes down in fl. lol not a big fan of gators

The last thing any 'Gator wants to meet is the business end of a prop behind a 300+ hp boat spinning in excess of 3,500 rpms. At that speed, even a 'Gator is going to know it got whacked! BTW, did you know there is no recorded instance of a 'Gator attacking a skier? For the sake of knowing, the reason for that is because skiers are generally being pulled pretty well off the shoreline and the noise from the boat usually deters them.

i think he meant the florida gators
the orange and blue ones

i think i finally came up with a better cheaper idea. I think we r going to line up PVC pipe maybe like 3 feet wide down our hill. Then we use grass stuff on our jump and box. We also have a rail. Please comment on this.
