FAQs
1. Do you still ride for RVL8?
Yes! Meet the rest of the Pro Riders here
www.rvl8skiboards.com/team.html
2. I am 200+ lbs. Can I still ride?
Yes! Like I stated in the video, KTPs would be a great option. You will want a stiffer board like those and most likely non-release bindings.
3. No poles? Can I use them?
NO POLES! lol but yes you could use them if you really want but that defeats the purpose and freedom of riding Skiboards in the first place. Learn how to push and use your edges and you will never pick up a pair of poles again.
4. Is it like rollerblading?
Similar in the skating movements but other than that it is closer to skiing than anything else.

Thanks so much for putting together the differences. I've had such fun on my snowblades over the years, and the few times I saw actual ski boards I just yearned for them. Knowing the differences are more than just size has me convinced, I'm going hunting for a new setup!

Great explanation, Talon. Thanks for helping keep the sport alive! I started with Snowblades. I don't regret a thing. Rode them one season then got some 89cm MNP's (conehead model) in 1998. A few years ago, I picked up some DLP's. Now I've started collecting skiboards so I can start my friends on something a little better than the Snowblades. That said, those little Solomons put in some work converting my friends to skiboarding. Theres a lot to be said for the easy adjustability of the Snowblade binding.

Thank you for sharing this! Just finished up at Bear Mountain & I was the only one out there with skiboards. I have Line Weapons. I dusted them off after 20+ years & they were perfect after a fresh wax. I had a blast! The non-release bindings can be scary after a fall. I ran into my daughter’s snowboard after she fell, I wiped out & thankfully didn’t hurt my leg too bad. Kept going! I’ll share my GoPro footage soon.

Thanks for the content, super helpful. I had no desire to ski and being old AF and really didn’t want to try snowboarding again (been 20 years or so). Grabbed a used set of beaters and there was almost no learning curve to a day of enjoyment on groomed slopes. I’ve been ice skating for over 30 years so guessing that’s why it felt so natural. But never would have gotten a pair of boards without this video.

I bought my skiboards with the snowboard bindings. I got them for comfort more than anything else and I already have snowboarding boots. Talon, was this a mistake? Should I have gotten the non release bindings instead of the snowboard bindings and just rent skiboots for now and buy later on when the season ends?

I've used long skis and I've gone snowboarding, and I hated and failed at both. I kinda found my niche in the skiboard / snowblade world. I'm still using the same Snow Jam 75cm boards I purchased 15 years ago. I believe these are far better than the crappy Solomans you mentioned though. I would like to upgrade to the 95cm boards with the non-release bindings you showed. Great video, keep up the cool informative vids.

Question? I find that my feet and ankles seem to hurt a bit more with skiboards, do you think that is a length issue or a boot issue? My thought is that a longer ski might distribute weight more evenly but i don't know! Had my Spliff's for a couple of years and can't quite get comfortable.

Is ski boarding easy to switch to from roller blading? I started looking into ODR skis at first but then I saw a comparison saying they're more like heelies and less like roller blades but ski blades are more like roller blades. Would boarding be easy to switch to? It sounds like it's overall better quality than the ski blades?

Since i don't Ski or Snowboard (only Snowbiking) i was wondering what i should try next. Snowboarding i tried, but i don't like the way how you are bound to the board. (Although powdering in the deep snow looks amazing!) Sking i tried when i was a kid once but i wouldn't say i really did skiing. Now to ask: Would you as a beginner start right away to Skiboarding or should i start with normal skiing? And someone with no knowledge about Wintersport at all what would you recommend?

I'm a novice skier, just learned how to ski last season. I found dealing with ski boots and poles and skis to be a hassle. I'm someone who in all likelihood is going to ski a handful of times a year at most, with my family. Skiboards and snowblades and ski skates look like a fun alternative with less hassle, especially the ones that use snowboard boot bindings. Is there a entry level or budget skiboard that fits the bill for someone like me (and my kids)? Are these things even available at rental shops?

I know some guys in their 60s and 70s who still skiboard. It’s never too late!

Should totally interview the man, the creator, Jason Levinthal, his new line of jskis are awesome, which I rock. After starting Line and Full Tilt. He also knows have to have fun with this own skibladezzzz. Saw the Sat Van in Breck a few weeks ago and saw the army of ski boarders while on the lifts.
