My Skiboarding Experiences Thus Far

Our story starts in the winter of seventh grade, 3 years ago. The year I learned to ski. Due to my new interest in skiing Santa got me a copy of "Ski" magazine in my stocking. In this issue of "Ski" magazine the cover article was on the newest thing to hit the slopes, skiboarding. I demoed my then top pick of a skiboard. The 98-99 Line Cruiser model. I had a blast it was so much fun. I only rode the slopes for a good 4 or 5 runs on my tiny local mountain, but I had got it. I was amazed. I could do anything on skiboards it was the best feeling. I could fly down the mountain and then spin around and ride fakie at the drop of a hat. Now I realize I screwed up. I don't think I nailed a single jump. A rookie mistake I suppose. I really only had one complaint with the cruisers. I felt they lacked some stability. Now I am wicked pumped for the new season. I renewed my season pass to the local mountain today, and I have brand spankin new mike nick pros in my room. Oh they are so beautiful. I think it is really cool that as soon as I got them I could put the bindings on and adjust them to the right size all by myself. Skiboards fill me with many emotions, I would say 95% of those are good ones. To all of you who have never tried go out there, get off your ass and skiboard.
