Skiboards and Snowblades, Whats the Deal?

[Ripitz]

The world really needs a bigfoot monoski. Two negatives make a positive, don't they?

I think that’s called a lunch tray

They’re a lot like mopeds and big gals.

Those Bigfoots were real fun. Definitely the first time I ever layed a ski over and carved a real arc after arc after arc was on them. Early 90s. They were sort of a last gasp by Kneissl skis?

Then by 5 years later I was patrolling and seeing lots of spiral fractures on snowblades from the high torque/no release combo. Sometimes it was kids in the park, sometimes it was old ladies who were trying them because they were “more like ice skates”. Some ugly injuries, often inside a ski boot, which makes it hard to diagnose. Didn’t make me want to get back on them.

A friend of mine got some Snowblades for $5 at the thrift store in Keene. He told me he’s gonna rip the mountain on them this year. Reading this makes me nervous for him.

Do you know the worst part about being a snowlerblader?

Telling your parents that you're…oh shoot. I forgot, we don’t do those jokes anymore. My bad.

No, no, no,

“Metal fins offer unknown high grip in changing snow conditions”

“no need to jump-turn around each tree you are just keeping balance and enjoying the ride”

Unknown high grip?
Don’t turn around trees?

No!

Tell it to Tom.

Welcome to new sport: Raxing steep mountains

Forget „Jump Turns“, go straight, enjoy the fall-line. Let rear fins carve your turns – better than any ski edge. 394756
