FAQs
1. Do you still ride for RVL8?
Yes! Meet the rest of the Pro Riders here
www.rvl8skiboar...
2. I am 200+ lbs. Can I still ride?
Yes! Like I stated in the video, KTPs would be a great option. You will want a stiffer board like those and most likely non-release bindings.
3. No poles? Can I use them?
NO POLES! lol but yes you could use them if you really want but that defeats the purpose and freedom of riding Skiboards in the first place. Learn how to push and use your edges and you will never pick up a pair of poles again.
4. Is it like rollerblading?
Similar in the skating movements but other than that it is closer to skiing than anything else.

I got my first pair of Solomon SnowBlades back in 1998 and now I’m getting back into the sport and I’m going to pick up some Rvl8 for next season. I can’t stop watching your videos.
Great explanation, Talon. Thanks for helping keep the sport alive!
I started with Snowblades. I don't regret a thing. Rode them one season then got some 89cm MNP's (conehead model) in 1998. A few years ago, I picked up some DLP's. Now I've started collecting skiboards so I can start my friends on something a little better than the Snowblades. That said, those little Solomons put in some work converting my friends to skiboarding. Theres a lot to be said for the easy adjustability of the Snowblade binding.
i live in canada, do you know any good places to buy them?
Spot on! Stoked to see you bringing in LJ's explanation from TC!
Ayy thanks guys! 🙌🏻
LJ, Will, Andy, Garrett and Ian all respect the slide :-)
Talon, I got a pair of OG 96' lines if you wanna try em. Bring them back!
I love my Line Weapons! They’re over 20 years old & I rode them this week!
My original Line Jedis are still in great condition. Line, you guys made a hell of a product.
I love skiboards! They are super fun and versatile.
I always get funny looks when on the mountain with my S&T Revolts, but people always have positive reactions and are genuinely curious about how they work.
It is pretty ridiculous how people on the slopes can have closed minds, when everybody out there is already doing a crazy sport.
im watching for the content.. it hasnt snowed in my area for 40 years lol
where is your area?
Arnoldo, you know you could probably leave your area, if you wanted... Have you been out of your area in the last 40 years? LOL
Thank you for making this! You really are increasing the exposure of this niche sport. I can even say that I've converted some riders to the sport after watching your content. Keep it up, I'll be watching!
Thank you for sharing this! Just finished up at Bear Mountain & I was the only one out there with skiboards. I have Line Weapons. I dusted them off after 20+ years & they were perfect after a fresh wax. I had a blast! The non-release bindings can be scary after a fall. I ran into my daughter’s snowboard after she fell, I wiped out & thankfully didn’t hurt my leg too bad. Kept going! I’ll share my GoPro footage soon.
I have a pair of line skiboards & they are a blast on the mountains. Love to see that there are more skiboarders out there🤙🏼
My GF and I have been wanting to do a winter sport and we both just bought RVL8 boards with the soft boot set up. And I actually bought your stuff and things model. I’ve been park rollerblading for a while so I’m excited to see what I can do on these !
You’re gonna love em 🤘🏼
Can’t believe this!!! Rode for Groove back in the 90’s! Thanks for doing this vid!
Thanks for the content, super helpful. I had no desire to ski and being old AF and really didn’t want to try snowboarding again (been 20 years or so). Grabbed a used set of beaters and there was almost no learning curve to a day of enjoyment on groomed slopes. I’ve been ice skating for over 30 years so guessing that’s why it felt so natural. But never would have gotten a pair of boards without this video.
Welcome to the sport!
Can't wait for the ski-board content dude! Thanks for clearing that up!
I got my first set of @rvl8 Sticky Icky Icky's this year. They work great on the snow/ice we have in North Carolina. Great and informative video as always. Keep it up.
Great Video and info. Finally getting the chance to get the family out on our skiboards (DLPs, Spliff and Slapdash) at Perisher, Australia 2022. Will do our best to promote the boards and the skiboard lifestyle!!
Wow, I’m 9 years post surgery , getting excited to get back to the slopes .
I last tried the ski blades (Solomons ). They were on sale , and gave them a try .
Loved them !
But now it seems they are the “Scooters “ of the slopes ;). Fun to ski with , but don’t wanna be seen with, lol .
I ski , board and snow blade :)
Gotta try the ski boards !
I love skiboarding!
Dude its amazing how intuitive they are! Idk how they haven’t taken over the snow sport industry. So much fun
Thanks so much for putting together the differences. I've had such fun on my snowblades over the years, and the few times I saw actual ski boards I just yearned for them. Knowing the differences are more than just size has me convinced, I'm going hunting for a new setup!
I snowboard but after watching your channel for awhile I love the skiboard videos. And I hope to try skiboard one day.
Look forward to seeing more skiboard content. I've been looking at other ways to enjoy the mountains. (Currently, only have a pair of downhill)
Great vid! I totally thought skiboarding died out 20 yrs ago. Had no idea it was still around!
Love this video! Rode a pair of Lines back in the day and it was a BLAST. I definitely need to revisit skiboarding.
Do it man!
I’ve skied before. It can be an expensive sport. I’m kind of glad that my Family wasn’t into it when the kids were growing up...since we have 4!
But here I am...watching Talon Sei describe the fine art of ski boarding. Of course I watch anything Talon brings to us as a topic, since he does such a great job at delivering and describing the product. I do understand why companies would want to sponsor or partner with him. Those are some pretty sharp companies for realizing their products(s) will be well represented and reach a broad audience!
Good stuff! I've been on shorties 22 years now. A few seasons back I tried skis again. They just weren't as fun, so now I'm back on skiboards for life.
I have so much more fun SkiBoarding than I ever did on Long skis and poles.
Do you ski with non-release binds? I honestly need a video on that alone...
@@Glassgate no, I use release bindings. I find non release bindings a pain to use compared to easy step in bindings.
I live in Texas so I don't get to hit the snow often. I learned in Montana and I found I really like snowboarding, although I never heard about ski boarding. Watching u I want to try it out. Keep up the good work talon, very informative.
Very 😎 cool ❄ and informative! 🏔 ⛄ was never a fan of anything Solomon being a snowboarder. Didn't realize how cool the ski boards were and the technology that goes into them. Also AWESOME that you can use 🏂 snowboard bindings on them!
Thanks man had a feeling I was heading in the wrong direction now I know! Learn something new everyday!
I think you'd be surprised at the number of non casual skiers that prefer bigfeet or snowblades. Our race team, guys that were doing everything from freestyle to downhill, loved how tiny and portable they were in the 90s/early 00s. Yeah you'd see a lot of vacation skiers riding them near the lifts but the real OGs knew that the most fun you could have on a day off from training was tackling Jupiter or the back country on a pair of bigfeet. Super mobile in the trees, let you do a mix of running/skiing, could toss them in a backpack, zero leg fatigue on the lifts before ski rests were a thing, no need for poles, made wrecks far less likely to hurt your knees (huge issue), and were generally the best escape ever. The "quality" was pretty irrelevant. They held up fine. The giant skiboards were for east coast park nuts who didn't have any real mountains to explore and didn't have enough piercings or tattoos to fit in at the skate park.
Look forward to these vids every year. Watching you for about 3 years and getting my first set of condors this week. (Been using revolts the bast 3 years) super excited! Keep it up man and make it to idaho soon👌😅
Spot on vid definitely more people need to try SKI boarding so keep on making those VIDS and share with as many as poss......... Everyone should watch Rachel's new content and have also found Courtney's content in the search for more ski boarding stuff 😎😎
Great video - As 1 of just 2 skiboarders (as far as I know) here in Cyprus, the sport is so misunderstood - Anyway I'm 64 next month been skiboarding since 2002 (started with Line skiboards) and all being well I'll be buying a pair of Revl8 for the next season. Please continue with Skiboarding content!
Thank you for making this video, Talon. Great explanation.
I’m over 60 and feel long boards are getting too hard to control. Do you think short boards will work well for average skiing? Aspen
Absolutely. I ride 105s just as well if not better than most skiers.
Probably going to have to pick up a set this year. all my buddies want to go snowboarding and I'm gonna show up with a mini bag and some rvl8's
I am skiboarding in Korea. There is also a skiboard club that is over 15 years old. I'm always watching it well. In Korea, there were many skiers who called skiboard as blades, so we often argued.
Ski boards are fun, but there are some honest downsides over full length skis:
-less control at high speeds
-less surface area for traversing in powder
-constantly needing to explain what they are to people
For spring skiing through the trees, ski boards are hard to beat. For super deep power days, full length skis have so much more float are much more fun for me than even my super wide RVL8 Blunts.
Counter points to what you believe are negatives.
1.) I haven’t met a skier on the mountain who can keep up with our top speed runs (80mph so far shown in my pervious videos) Control is all about the rider.
2.) The condors and Rockered condors which I have shown in this video provide a wider underfoot than most skis on the market today. Float in powder is absolutely no issue with the correct boards and a skilled rider.
3.) Informing people about Skiboards is only a downside to people who do not Skiboard.
I have a solid pow day video coming next Tuesday and there are plenty in the playlist if you want to see how they actually perform.
@@TalonSei Haha, yeah, if you have the right rider you can do anything, but my points are less about individual skill and more about the physics of the tool. Full-length skis provide more surface area, and longer edges.
1) OPTIMIZE FOR FUN: The real argument should be about picking what's most FUN. The things that make skiboarding fun for me are:
-More nimble, shorter boards make narrow trees a blast
-Tricks, easier to spin, and more forgiving on falls
-Learning, I learned to ride switch on skiboards
-No poles, so you can do things with your hands and mess around or help out a friend/kid who's learning to ski
2) FOR POWDER DAYS: Skiboards are fine if you do zero traversings. Where I ski (Squaw/Alpine), the best terrain is a short traverse away, and that's near impossible to do with skiboards on a deep day. You need more float, and you need poles. But you're right, I haven't tried the rockered condors, and maybe those would change my mind.
3) REPETITIVE SMALLTALK: it's really f'ing annoying when you have to keep taking your headphones out to talk to idiots on every lift who are like "WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS!?!!?!" Some people are happy to evangelize, but it gets old for me after the 2nd or 3rd time each day. My RVL8's came with a bunch of square handouts to give to people like this that say something like "These are called SKIBOARDS. Yes, they are fun. Yes, you should get some" so I know I'm not alone here.
Anyone who thinks skiboards are the best tool for every situation is mistaken. Nevertheless, your videos 3-4 years ago get the credit for introducing me to skiboards, so thank you sir! I'm looking forward to seeing those powder vids!
Awesome info. I got the k2 fatty ski blades way back in the day. Didn't know about ski boards. Now that I know, definitely upgrading.
Just bought a Snowblade instead of a Skiboard yesterday, if only this video came out a day earlier :(
Send em back!
@@TalonSei I wish I can but I bought used ones.
@@gentamatsui use 'em to get the feel and then sell them and upgrade.
@@RVL8Skiboards will definitely do that!
Hi. Do you have any experience with the HEAD razzledazzle 94cm skiboards? Are they good? How do they compare to Summit and RVL8?
Continue to rock my classic Canon Heritage 90's. Was at Brighton (Utah) last week and still get so many questions/smiles.
Should totally interview the man, the creator, Jason Levinthal, his new line of jskis are awesome, which I rock. After starting Line and Full Tilt. He also knows have to have fun with this own skibladezzzz. Saw the Sat Van in Breck a few weeks ago and saw the army of ski boarders while on the lifts.
I have had a pair of Snow Blades in my closet from 97, many park days on those before i went to snowboarding. Maybe time for some new Ski boards if i want to get back into french-fries
Still have my Mike Nick pro's too. Such a rad sport.
I’ve snowboarded for 30 years. Rollerblading was my second love. In 1995 I had a 10 foot vert half pipe in my backyard before skate parks existed in salt lake. I Tried skiing at age 40 when I taught my kids to ski, I don’t love skiing, I’d rather snowboard. Now at 43 my kids still think I must be the best rollerblader on the planet.
Any way I found some Solomon snow blades at the thrift shop for 10 bucks. I freaking love these things!!!! I honestly can’t understand why a ski needs to be any longer???. I really need to get my hands on some ski boards to try out skiboarding!!
Do it man!
Sooooo, living in yosemite now, i testes out the 24 year old Solomons skiblades and fell in love.
Now, I have a pair of Banana Blades!
I do want a set of Skiboards since now i know the difference.
I Still have those mike nick pro models...they were a classic. Can’t forget sled dogs. The ski boot skiis 😂. This videos making me feel old.
Looks like a blast! Going to Crested Butte in March. Is there anywhere that rents these? I’d love to try it while I am out there. Looks like these would fit my riding style perfectly
I’m going to Breckenridge 3/26-4/1. Since you got me addicted to skiboarding it’d be super cool to meet up and let me buy you a beer. I’m bringing my Blunt XLs and Sticky Icky’s (just in case). I haven’t really ridden my Blunts all that much because there’s no powder here on the east coast. You may want to hear the funny story of the Figl “Wigl” also. Thanks Talon. Keep up the good work.
Such a great video... Just watch, due to advances in materials we'll see this surpass snowboarding soon enough
dude, thank you for these vids. purchased some boards after being curious and doing the usual pre-retail googlizing, which led me straight to your channel. ended up with a pair of Summit's (was strictly a $$ thing, slightly less than the Rvl8's) and rode for the first time this weekend...absolute blast. subscribinated!
love seeing all the Tahoe shots, the places I ride most heavenly, sierra, northstar. Im currently in the van at Kirkwood, snow is so firm.
Enjoy it!
Glad I came across your video! It’s been a long time since I’ve skied and I’m not as limber as I used to be so I got a used set of snow blades, mainly because they are shorter and easier to maneuver on. They are a lot of fun, and I’m back on the slopes again, but it sounds like ski boards might be the better way to go. Thanks for the info, you have a new subscriber 😊
Just picked up my old Groove Taxis from my mom's house. I'm going to be launching them with my speed wing. Great video. I've still got two pairs of Groove taxis, sadly I snapped my Groove Invertigos in half. Sold my old Salomon snowblades, since they're lame. There's a pair of old Canons on my local FB marketplace for $80 that I'm tempted to pick up.
Nice video Talon, could you make a video on what you need and how to start ski boarding? I’m planning to start next year and have zero experience, never seen snow in my life...
All ya need are boards bindings boots and clothing. Check out the beginners guide in my skiboard playlist 👍🏻
damn im actually kinda early, keep up the skiboard vids! I love them!
got my first skiboards this year btw after watching ur vids last year! Its so much fun im glad I found your channel!!
Glad you’re enjoying the sport!
I've used long skis and I've gone snowboarding, and I hated and failed at both. I kinda found my niche in the skiboard / snowblade world. I'm still using the same Snow Jam 75cm boards I purchased 15 years ago. I believe these are far better than the crappy Solomans you mentioned though. I would like to upgrade to the 95cm boards with the non-release bindings you showed. Great video, keep up the cool informative vids.
2:02 Oh snap, I started with that exact pair. I sold them when I got into snowboarding. I should have kept them because they were so fun.
Great videos
Beard is looking good today!
When i tried snowblades it was 20 years ago at attitash in nh. It was like my 3rd season skiing and i was with a couple beginners like me and my friends older brother who was an expert and eventually after a couple runs i liked certain things about them...very aggressive and paying attention to what youre doing alot more as skis will go over and transition much easier...havent tried them since cause i think that year i bought new atomics and didnt put them down but i remember that sunny day long ago with my friend that died when we were 20
What up bro, I had some bigfeet in like 1987. They were ok, but I need to try me some ski boards. Keep up the good videos and i wish I was hanging out in the summit with you.
Your videos turned me on to skiboarding so much that now I have two pairs even! Started with a pair of Rvl8 Sticky Icky Icky’s for here on the east coast, and then moved to a pair of Blunt XLs, which is like having a snowboard strapped to each foot. I’m a 48 y.o. traditional skier who was falling out of love with skiing, but since discovering skiboards I’ve had more fun in the park and all over the mountain than I’ve ever had before. Skiboarding is a life changer. Shout out to Greco @ Skiboardsonline.com. Thanks :)
(I swap between snowboard bindings and release bindings with risers - you’re right about release bindings seating you sort of tall, but I’m jumping more than rail sliding so it works out fine. Snowboard boot bindings have a completely different feel and flex and probably work better for traditional snowboarders. I do better with my ski boots. And just bought a pair of Nordica HF 110 rear entry boots that are rock solid super stiff and perfect for my style of skiboarding. I might go to non release bindings now since it’s so easy to slip on my new boots! Hah)
Thanks Seth! So glad you're enjoying 'em.
I have a few pair of Lines AND the crappy Salomon snow blades, too. All rad. 🤙🤣
great stuff, I had soloman snowblade with snowboard bindings it was sweet. I need a pair of skiboards snow. i miss it.
Man that video was awesome and explained things well.
Talon! You rock Brotha! 🤘🏽keep up the DVITG!
Thanks for watching David 🤙🏻
Hey ,Talon! Awesome video! Have you ever seen people telemarking on skiboards???
I know this is an old video and you probably aren't reading comments anymore but I would like to see you talk about the Snowfeet line of Snowblades, especially because they seem to be a lot higher quality construction than the Salomons.
I’m 57....and been ski boarding for years now....after several decades of skiing. It’s probably the best setup to keep us older guys on the slopes and the avoidance of injuries and just general leg wear for us mature guys wanting to still get out there. I still consistently still seek out the steeper stuff and the shorter length and it’s agileness, saves my legs, for a longer more intense day of fun. (Just got back from the slopes 2 days ago) I ski-board with kids half my age that are on snow boards and also skis, and go wherever they go. So if your getting up there in age and want to continue to shred the Knar-Knar, we’ll into rocking chair days, consider this a whole hearted recommendation. I can see me doing this well into other peoples “ I’ve fallen and broke my hip” days. Ps don’t get me wrong, youngsters can absolutely have a blast on these too, and take it as far as any other snow discipline out there. Thanks for the info, as I think more information on these would obviously help keep these relevant and promote companies to continue in making more of these. Anyway, that’s all for now...
@ussmillerco what skiboards do you use? I'm 58 and have used ski blades but I would like to purchase my own skiboards.
I'm actually looking into getting a pair. I'm 41 but my knees are bad. I used the snow blades before and I loved that they didn't have a hard impact on my knees so I'm looking into buying a pair but I'm glad I found this video because I didn't know there was a difference.
get you some DC judges or DC Shuksan and try the snowboard boot bindings
Wondering what the learning curve is coming from snowboarding? I could never get the hang of skiing when I was younger, but picked snowboarding in a weekend and have been doing it ever since. About 20 years now. Something new might be fun.
Rode Line Bullets for a decade starting in the late 90's, loved them. Got rid of them a decade ago, and I regret it. Looking to get back into skiboarding so I can ride the slopes with my pre-teen, the entry cost is so high compared to what I paid for those Bullets in the 90's, bummer.
I got 2 sets of 99.9cm snowblades, rip 'em all over, even backcountry, (not a gaper), got 2 sets of the Hagan off limits 130cm, killer little ski! Looking to purchase the Spruce slingshot 119cm, I like the set back mounting as I ride fast and softer snow as well. Tried the "center mount" and dont care for it as I do not "jib" in the park but prefer to ski the steeper stuff and away from the gaping masses..
Thank you for the information man.
Yes plz do more skiboard vids and also what size boot do the RVL8 receptor bindings go up to
Up to sole length of 375mm
@@RVL8Skiboards ok thx
I dont think you are fair. I have my salomon snowblades 20 years and there is nothing like it. I will post a link with a video of friday. I just love the turns i can take with them. My snowblades are 99cm. The binding is amazingly simple and practical!!
I have many pairs also. Line (Jason's original ones) (79cm, 89cm, Jedi 89cm, Mike Nick's 99cm- not the graphics you show- mine have a Star Wars graphic) I have Cannons 99 cm, Grooves 99cm, Revel 8's 110cm rocker condors). I love my skiboards (I have been riding them since 1997) and I agree with you 100%, snowblades suck and really, they are unstable and dangerous IMO. Glad to see there are others out there still riding skiboards 😊
There's some great footage on the channel skiboardhistory including some Austrian riders talking about building the "first skiboards" in there garage in 93'.
also thoughts on J-Skiis SkiBladezzz they use a wood core and are made by the original LINE team
Good vid I had no idea!!!
I appreciate the history and descriptions, solid video. I do however disagree with you calling snowblades "junk." I have had my Alpina Magic blades for ages and they perform great for casual skiing no matter the difficulty of the terrain. I ski steeps, moguls, hit big jumps, anything really, and they have held up fine. In fact, last year I bought a new pair of Summit ZR 88cm boards and my wife was using my old blades, then we traded half way through the day. I liked the blades significantly more, mainly because they are lighter and easier to maneuver. I wanted to keep skiing on them, but my wife wanted them back haha! I went on Ebay a few days ago and bought another pair of the Aplina Magic, can't wait to get them. You mention poor snowblade flex in the video, my 99cm Alpina Magic have great flex - I see what you are saying regarding those super-short Solomon blades though.
Also, my wife is new to skiing. She had tried regular skis at a young age and got so frustrated while learning that she stopped altogether. I introduced her to snowblades and she LOVES IT! She has a petite build, so she the blades work great for her to maneuver because they are so light and small - the big skis had been cumbersome for her to maneuver in the past. She showed dramatic improvement on the mountain quickly. I recommend snowblades/boards to anyone who is hesitant to try skiing due to the learning curve.
My first set of real ski boards was your version near the end of 2019 /beginning of 2020. Def a huge advancement from the "Head rod" snowblades I used before. Skiboards are soooo much better in powder, and literally everything else. Way more sturdy and well made!
Thank you so much for the great overview, absolutely love it. Played competitive hockey for 19 years and skiing even more. Have been looking for ski boards for the past couple of years. This year I definitely want to get one.
Question: any ski board specific store in the Denver area?
Nope. Online is pretty much the only place where you can find a dedicated store for skiboarding. Www.Skiboardsonline.com
Thank you Talon, you are inspiring, I ordered the RVL8 2022 Condor 110 Skiboards, with RVL 2022 Receptor bindings. I am advanced skiier (played competitive hockey for 18 years and skied in my entire life); mostly ski the CO mountains. Based on your review this seemed like a good board and configuration. Hope to see you on the slopes one day!
still loving & riding my 2001 snowblades with softboot mount
Talon, next time you find yourself in Utah in winter time hit me up. I would love to try Skiboards out on the "Greatest Snow on Earth"!
ps. My in-laws own a townhome at a ski resort in Southern Utah.
What do you think of Salomon escape outrack? It’s marketed as a Nordic ski, 120cm and something for the backcountry and cross country. I am 210 pounds and 5’6 and I started looking for a type of skate ski but I found that those are mostly narrow. I’m wanting more of something that’s wide and can go on non-groomed trails because I am going to be in backcountry, putting forth my own track and mostly going in parks.
I first started looking at bc skis that were 190 CM to 207 CM, but I started thinking about going smaller because I saw the Nordic ski that snowfeet makes. that one’s only 90 CM long and it seems a bit narrow. for my weight, I don’t think I’m going to glide as much with that. It has decent specs in my opinion, but I just don’t see myself going far with that one and I worry about the longevity of it.
Then I did some more googling, and I found the one by Salomon. It’s a new ski and I’m not finding barely any type of reviews on it yet. The only thing that’s holding me back from getting it is the fact that it uses a skin instead of a fishscale. So I’m curious as to how this Salomon escape outrack could glide over back country. Both of what I mentioned don’t use ski boots. They just go over your regular footwear.
Hope you reply back. I’m trying to make a decision before our next snowfall here in New York. I will not be going to any ski resorts. I’m the type of person who wants to take my skis on a side street, backyard, parks, hiking trails, so I will be on non-groomed trails. I started looking for shorter stuff because of the terrain that I would be going on. I’m not gonna be able to maneuver with a long ski. That’s why I started looking at shorter bc ski. Salomon’s is 120 cm and I feel that it would handle my weight much more than snowfeet’s nordic ski at 90cm.
this is hilarious, the Full Tilts are legit though, I've had mine for over 10 years and they are so good its ridiculous
You should do a review on ODR Skis.
Yo TS! Congrats on almost 500k! I’m Van living for a couple months in my new Storyteller Beast running from Florida to Utah. I’d love to check out a ski oars as I need a new snowboard as well. Plans to hit Parkcity 2/24 but floating other spots as I’m running through TX this week. Hope to catch ya on the powder!
Great video thanks. What about split board ratchet bindings? If someone made a removable skin I could go hiking and camping and possibly find some fun. I could hike like normal and set up my tent. Pull those out and slap them on and fool around. That would really fit my situation.
I dig the snow boards! I ski a pair of short skis... Head Salamander 94cm with rental bindings... I helped coach snowboarding and skiing for a few year and these were helpful to skate up hill without ski poles to aid beginners,... but now I like skiing with them more than my board or long skis. Sooo much fun in the park and in the tree trails. Mine are not wide enough for the powder though so I need some snow boards! 😁 What are a good pair for groomed trails and some powder, still good for the park though?. I'm about 148 lbs.. maybe 156 to 160 with gear. Great video BTW. Thanks
I'm a novice skier, just learned how to ski last season. I found dealing with ski boots and poles and skis to be a hassle. I'm someone who in all likelihood is going to ski a handful of times a year at most, with my family. Skiboards and snowblades and ski skates look like a fun alternative with less hassle, especially the ones that use snowboard boot bindings. Is there a entry level or budget skiboard that fits the bill for someone like me (and my kids)? Are these things even available at rental shops?
An you sit back on the ski boards? One of my favorite places is only accessible if you lay back and basically lay on the skis to go under a bridge and down the electric poles.
Yup just takes a little practice
What about ski feet or snow feet or even sled dogs they're much shorter they're more like the sole plates for rollerblades I just bought a pair and they look sick as heck I can't wait to try them out
Sled dogs are wildly uncontrollable and only really work on fresh groomed snow
This makes me want skiboards so beeed!
I remember I had the Bigfoot skiboards or whatever they were classified as. I have the same Mike Nick Pro ski boards too. Those were great until I switched to snowboarding.
Just got my talon sei ski boards delivered today from skiboards on line!! Will be hitting camelback this weekend. Got the green receptor bindings. It’s a good match.my core is black yours is red? Didn’t know it would be different
Mine are last years models
Last years sidewall color was red, this year's is black. Blame Covid.
RVL8 Skiboards it’s cool. Still looks sick! Stupid question...does it matter which board is the right and which is the left? I have the “TS” on the right and the camera lens on the left.
@@justingarnick6021 It does not matter, they are built the same. It would matter if you were using snowboard bindings, the ratchets face the outside, away from each other.
Can you take a pair of ski boards and give one each to your kids?
I just scored a pair of Kneissl bigfoots from the thrift store, took them up to Squaw today and they ripped! Was wondering the year on them. They are sparkly gray with the yellow bigfoot text. If you are in the area and skiing on a sunday I'd love to try out the skiboards from rvl8!
Hi Talon! What’s the difference between ski boarding and skis besides the length? What can you do on ski boards that you can’t on skis?
Skiboards are shorter and typically wider with true symmetry. You can ride them identically to skis however I can definitely maneuver quicker is really dense trees than most skiers.
Like driving a sports car compared to a large SUV.
Awesome! I'm heading to VT, this coming weekend and I was wondering if I can find SKIBOARDS rentals anywhere btw Philly and the slopes? Thanks, Talon!
