Ski boarding, or snowlerblading is definitly a second rate sport. If it was acceptable, it would have made it.. straight up. But it didn't. Why? because the majority of people realize that a: it is far easier than skiing or snowboarding once you catch on to having no tails or noses. B: It has no versitality. You can't ride the mountain effecitvly, you can't nose or tail butter etc. c: it has some deep rooted psychological ugliness about it. Show 10 random nonskier people a switch 5 blunt off a cliff into powder on skis and then on snowblades(if it was possible) and I'm willing to bet that at least 9 of the ten would say that the skiing trick looked far better. Skiing is the only way forward, skiboarders... if you want to, go on and do it... but its like having sex with a goat... sure people somewhere, someplace have probably done it, and I'm sure you could make the argument that it feels good, but be prepared to have the world laugh, ridicule, and insult you... its your choice.
