I wish I lived somwhere with snow, Snowskating looks fun as hell. I might buy one anyway and do that instead of snowboarding on the family ski trips. Whats the general feeling from resorts on snowskating?

Jesse, it's too bad you're not able to snowskate where you live.. but on the other hand i guess you can wakeskate 365 days a year.. so don't be too sad Smile

if you're gonna use it in the resorts you have to have a leash on the board.. which sucks.. cause it prevents you from doing flip and shuv-tricks.. and i belive many resorts doesn't even allow snowskates in their systems..

Whats cool is that where we stay at has alot stuff I think would be cool for snowskating right around the cottage, like little hills with drop offs, a picnic table where me and my uncle smoke bowls, etc.

Jesse, good for you dude.. which one did you get?

I got a Fortrus Dragon, are those any good?
It seems pretty sturdy, and would take a pretty good beating

I haven't ridden that board.. but i think Fortrus is a part of the Premier company..(correct me if i'm wrong) which pretty much is known for making the best skates.. so i suppose it's dope. You're gonna have alot of of fun with that board.. Smile

I bought the board off of ebay but looked into the company and it looks like Fortrus is kind of like a sister company to premier. Kind of like how J-star is to Hyperlite.

yea i think Fortrus is the line of plasatic snowskates made by Premier. The Bi-levels are far better!!

I didnt feel like droppin big bucks on something I will use maybe 2-3 times a year.
This was the least gay one in my price range.
