Skiboarding is for Everyone

I'd be happy to tell you about my first time skiboarding. I was at Killington, and I brought my skies with me, and some of my friends had already bought pairs of skiboards. So it was about midway through the day and one of my friends had hurt themselves and they told me that I could use them. So we readjusted the bindings on the spot, and I was off. I remember my first time down the mountain, It was the worst. I was use to having these long sticks protruding out from underneath my feet and now I had these 2 1/2 foot skiboards on. My feet were swaying from side to side and I wasn't even sure if I would be able to make it down the mountain. When we finally got to the bottom I was petrified. We headed back up because I didn't want to feel like a looser being the only one in the group with skis on. On the second run they got easier, and on the third even better. Soon I was turning with ease and I grew to love these things. That weekend I went out and purchased a pair of Salomon Snowblades. The next day we went to Okemo and I had a blast! I was doing tricks in no time, tricks I never could have done on my regular skis.

I would definitely recommend getting a pair of skiboards to anyone, skiers especially. Skiing is a lot of fun, but you're limited in what you can do on them. With these new skiboards you can go to the snowboard parks without being hassled, and go in the half pipe and not worry about pulling off a trick because it is so easy. Even if you aren't the type of person who likes to catch air, carving down the slopes is also a blast! The skiboards have a deep side cut to allow you to turn with great ease. Like I said before skiboarding is for everyone.
