weird people.
but, that vid they posted up was pretty fun to watch.
It is just amazing at how uneducated and close minded they are. They are having a lot of trouble figuring out why we do it and why it could be so much fun. They also fail to understand how most people I know are brand new at Skiboarding, and never have been on skis or snowboards before. So, in the few years they have been on the snow they are pulling stuff the NS' have been working on for many years. Most skiers I know have been doing it for most of their lives.
anyway.~harry

Either way, I've found that if you ride well, you won't get too much trash talk, and the people that do are usually stuck up pricks, so it's easiest to just not worry about it.I do it because I can.
I can because I want to.
I want to because you said I couldn't.

And it's a shame when those who don't care what you ride get harrassed by the others for saying that something different is ok.
It's kinda funny (at least for me) to see someone with the super-saggy ns style clothes on something close to skiboards. They're SnowBlades, but they looked pretty decent. It just looks odd to me.
One question that comes up for me is this; does difficulty matter? It seems like skiboards get dismissed because they're viewed as being easy. I then see many retorts that skiboards are harder to land jumps with and that you need more finese on rails to balance them. Does that really matter all that much? I agree that skiboards are easier to pick up on the skis. At least this has been my observation. That was the main draw for me when I first started getting into this activity. What's kept me coming back season after season is the fun factor. Why should I care if what I'm doing is hard if I'm having fun either way?RVL8 Condors - The Flex will be with me, always...until I break them
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming... "WOW! WHAT A RIDE!!"

I ski board all the time and have only had one snowboarder talk s*** to me. I told him to come off the safe distance of the lift and say it to my face and he shut up.Revel8 Revolt "city" (lite riser release bindings)
