Old Farts at Mt. Bohemia

[sempai]

So you think you're too old to attend the Midwest Meet at Mt. Bohemia. These guys will prove you wrong.

You might want to mute this one. The music is very annoying, but the riding is highly impressive. They should bottle that courage and sell it. If introduced to some real skiboards, just think what they could do.

The video quality sucks, but I like the title.

Thanks for posting these. They look like they are having a blast. Those are all small boards - short and narrow. Would be fun to find these people and have them give some modern boards a go to see what they think.

We've actually run into those guys at previous Midwest Meets. They all ride old snowbladish type boards, but they have a blast on them. I don't think any of our group has had a chance to talk to any of them, but we could definitely introduce them to some upgraded equipment. We also ran into another group of bladers last year. We didn't get a chance to talk to them either, but Courtney did stick an SBOL card in one of their bindings when we saw their boards propped up against a yurt.

I rode only Snowblades for five years before discovering skiboards. I had a freakin' blast on them, too. I would get all crazy and daring just like these mature gentlemen in these videos. At that time I was wearing a pair of Raichle rear-entry ski boots. My boots and blades made for an extremely light combination. It felt like nothing was on my feet. I miss that feeling of maneuverability that combo provided. This relates to what I shared in another thread about shorter boards. I sometimes think that what I ride now keeps me too safe and boring.

sempai - sounds like you need to release your inner child again on some short boards!

If you'd like to rediscover that feeling again, you should try the 1996 Line skiboards. Those things are a blast in the trees because they're so short. I'll have a pair at Bohemia this year, and you're welcome to try them there.

These fun things are heading to Dubai Monday morning
