that was my huge discovery of the year, mounting the leash on the underside of the tail on the top deck and attach the other end on the back of my pants on my belt and it is way awesome for shuvits and varials.

snowskating is tight and alll

but there no way its gonna blow up like wakeskating did

no I do it all the time the leashes are bitches.....we use a dog lease and loop it through a clip on our belts....wakeskating is sooo much more fun. Snowboarding is wayy more fun unlike wakeboading which is nothing compared to wakeskating. Not to mention no one can buy gnu or lib skates they are just starting production and they will be in shops at the end of the season....spiccolli is the man I used to skate with thim all the time...

There is no way u can ride your snowskate anywhere you can ride a snowboard thats sort of rediculous

Why do you say that? In no way is that rediculous because... I do.

yeah I have ridden just about every skate out and gnu and the new lib are the only ones that you can ride anywhere....but honestly its just not there yet def fun I do it all the time dont get me wrong we hit the boxes and rails but the leash thing is lame and you cant ride unless its compact snow...

I ride a Circuit, I love riding soft snow, once the fresh gets above a foot and it isnt steep then it gets a little difficult. if you put enough time into it then you can ride ANYTHING, you can go ahead and say "blah blah you cant ride anywhere" or "blah blah you cant ride deep snow" but you are wasting your time because I have not snowboarded once this year and I have hit the fresh days, double diamonds, 30 foot tables etc. and the leash is lame but you get used to it. I am not trying to be a dink but a good amount of you are really close minded.

no way i bet the people who cant get to water as easily are definately goin to pick up snowskating... its gonna be harder than snowboarding but isnt that why people started wakeskating... new challanges... i wouldnt be suprised if snowskating grew to the same size as wakeskating... i would bet all the wakeskaters would easily make the transition... we went from skating on concrete to water why not snow...

P.s. jordan those pics rock and so did that shuv out... keep on keepin on
