I agree. I always thought it was silly that people were actually into snowskating.. but this video is pretty cool. The first gap was rad! |

There was a kid who rode a snowskate at keystone almost everyday two years ago and i swear all he ever did was get his leg yanked by the leash. Waste of time IMO
jeff, I'm moving back to SLC after the first of the year and am down to ride/go wakeskate when it warms up again |

i dont get how people can look down on snowskating compared to snowboarding, yet we choose wakeskating over wakeboarding. its just like how wakeboarders call wakeskating lame before giving it a chance by at least appreciating it and seeing it for what is really going on within the sport and not just the weekend kooks that can barely ride |

hey guys i actually ride for ambition, ppl hate on snowskating all the time but for me i dont really care. its fun as shizzle and like wakemitch said its just like wakeskating is for strappers. i do it cause i can't afford to be paying for passes all winter long to ski or snowboard. its free its just the same as skateboarding. here's another vid that just came out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRQsPkvEURU&feature=channel_video_title if u have anytime the last part is bangin (it starts at 10:20) |

416 that's awesome you ride for 'em. My COSD just came in yesterday and it is füćking sweet. Can't wait to setup a little jib park in my yard to get through winter.
And like everyone said, why hate on snowskating when it's just another fun way to ride sideways. _________________ Scuba Steve's Wakeskate Film Libray |

crazy riding, the bi levels are a bit weird.. but im sure people say that about wakeskates. when I was 12-13 i was super into snowskating, but i think snowboarding just took over for me. also lets not forget wolle nyvelts snow surfing.. that looks like fun. |
