Paul Elkins is a rad guy, that footage is a couple years old. They have been working on some new stuff recently.

Nekkie, that is sick! i bet you would need to reseal your skateboard before you used it in the snow though, water logged skateboards are the sux Laughing

Does anyone know what a set of those things cost?

it looks like they could get caught up on a rail when doing boardslides

No, Canada. One picture is from lake louise and one is from "Shut up and snowskate" at summit at snoqualmie.

jordan, very cool pics man!

gotta love the oldschool fluo ski suit haha Smash

What do you mean by hard conditions? Those fluid skis looks like they work nice and allow you to edge around and shizzle

Chris the set of skis is $80

I thought about that idea a couple years ago but I didn't think there would be enough surface area.

jordan, Do you snowskate at louise alot? ever hit up sunshine?

jordan · Backside 180 Joined: 15 Feb 2005 Posts: 649 City: Spectre

Nekkie, you need icy conditions, I have never had the right conditions for it to work right, I always plowed the snow, I would pick a bideck any day, more surface area and you can go way faster. the best I got with the fuse was actually using it on an ice rink but it even dug in a little there, apparently the new stuff is going to be better.

Dered, I hit up louise a couple times this year and I hit sunshine the past 2 fridays, they have an awesome hip, and the dragon box and step down box are sick, I mainly rode at fernie this year but i made it down to montana and washington for a couple comps.

Sick! Nice photo Jordan. Saw myself climbing the hill behind you at Snoqs! I love my snowskate. I'm working on a couple prototypes for next season. One for doing more skate/ollie stuff and one for powder. Then there's just the regular one. My powder snowskate will come from this inspiration:
