Bilevel vs Junkyard

xtremebordgurl · Posted: Feb 01, 2005 2:46 pm Post subject: Bilevel vs Junkyard

I just came in from snowskating in my backyard and I just recently got Burton Junkyard board (I previously had a premier) and noticed that the idea of having two levels is very similar to the bilevel. I was wondering if anyone who has ridden the bilevel has ridden any of the burton snowskates and if they were similar at all in the way they ride. Cause I'm not so sure that I'd like a wakeskate that rides like the junkyard.. but then again I'm just starting to get used to it so that may be why.

I've ridden a bi-level snowskate many times, but not the wakeskate. I think they are a lot different. They distance between the two level are very different, and I think the wakeskate would be a lot easier than the snowskate. Also, it's a big board under the wakeskate, unlike the snowskate.
Good question though, anyone who has rode both?

Zack have you ever been snowskating or ridden any of the burton Snowskates? How do they compare? Hey Pirate, words would be cool.

I wouldn't even bother comparing the two because you're on two different mediums and the boards work differently. You know, you can ollie a flat wakeskate but flat snowskates ollie for shizzle. I'd just ride them both, instead of trying to base a decision about a wakeskate on a snowskate, you know?

I wouldn't say they are that different, but they are. I can ollie very well on a regular snowskate. I can ollie higher on a bi-level snowskate, but they are compariable ollies.

Comparable in that they're both two inches off of the ground? I'm just kidding, but I think they're totally different and I think the single decked snowskates aren't all that great (my nico droz is a freaking noodle). But that's my opinion. And again, I wouldn't base the performance of a snowskate on a wakeskate (the bi-level cassette does work differently than the bi-level snowskates, mainly in that there isn't a little fulcrum in a snowskate.)

I wouldn't either e-snow. I'm just saying they are somewhat comparable, but just not similar. Anyone rode both?
