Hi everyone.
i came across a video on vimeo last year from the rvl8 guys and have been interested in trying skiboards ever since. i have never been on skis, i used to snowboard in High School, and around the same time i was really good at freestyle inline as well. i feel that this would be a nice way to get back into snow sports for myself.
i already have done some research and decided on what boards i want. i love the way the rvl8 KTPs look and the reviews. plus i have to rep the hometown guy since i'm from Pittsburgh like Kirk. but i would be getting last years since the artwork is sick and i like the way the green/yellow/black comes together.
i'm just stuck on bindings/boots really. i just cant get over how expensive a pair of ski boots are. a good pair run like 250-400 bucks. is there a huge difference between using ski boots and snowboard boots with skiboards? since i have seen i can get a good set of snowboard boots for 150-200 easily. and are most people running with non-release bindings too?
i would love to find someone local with maybe a spare or old set of boards and whatnot i could try out once to make sure i want to go out and spend this much cash and it not be a one time thing lol
