i ski 2001 model 1080's and i love them. they'r good on the whole mountain, not just in the park. although i find them a bit unstable at high speeds, like when my friends challenge me to a race. but if you buy them for racing your a fucking idiot
skiboards fucking blow ass...there just way too damn easy, theres no challenge. i can nail a 720 no problem on skiboards but still have difficulty trowing proper 3's and 5's on skis. plus they just look lame.
