i thought jester hats are worn by cocky advanced skiers, kinda like a guy i saw in a mini skirt kilt bare legged sking all pro. no helmet but i'm getting one. i don't feel uncool wearing one at a ski place kuz so many others wear em. For a little more money, plus i can break even or possibly profit when i want different ones, I'll just use ebay or craiglsist instead of renting. for me, skis are better for balance and carving and controll. Blades are harder to cross, easier to jump/grind, and less awkward. i'll get used skis and blades and see for myself which is best for me.

yeah i was joking. i just go around forums asking about them and hope for someone to call me a racial slur that i could potentially sue over and make some moolah, but i forgot to make my user name something like jewishSkiboarder or italianStalionSkiboarder to entice the racism! NAH, just kiding. i seriously asked about the skiblades. I feel they easier to do jumps on opposed to bending a big ski feels like binding wants to pop out! who knows maybe it's just the suk ass skis i been using cause they're free they are the ooold kind that don't widen at the tips at all and are like 2 inches wide in total. they suck and i almost crossed them on black diamonds a few times.

aparently no 1st come 1st serve in the big/rotten apple. I think my new career that i'll have more $ then i'd know what to do with is to record myself driving around manhattan not breaking any laws, and settle all the accidents without going through insurance at a 25% discount... I'll just install expensive blinged-out side mirrors and when the cabbies and other shit heads break them off, I collect. while doing nothing wrong, i still have to swerve to avoid accidents once every 15 minutes or so, and this is just during the middle of the night when much less traffic and not while in the right/cab lane. third vid's not NYC, just had to post it.gotta get that bumper pad thing if you care about yer car! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w2S5jyyyyI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5erQVojgZI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bx3RO7FaRA

yeah those fights aren't about ski vs snowboard. although, the second one with the narrator starts off saying that's the reason, who knows what happened... and the father in the 1st one sarcastically calles the kid/guy a ' cool snowboarder dude' or something, but ANYWAY, im not really sure what yer getting at askin about a skiblade report or getting hated on for snowblades, but if yer wondering, i ski'd sugarbush vt once and about 19 other times in PA at either shawnee, camelback, bluemountain, and some tiny 3 trail place Craigmeur nj that closed. never once in those 20 trips can i recall any of the trash talking that goes on at mountain creek. it was all mostly strangers joking around and making fun of eachoter but some people take it too far... I mean, i'm no saint eaither, i think the waitress heard me ask her for a lapdance lol.

delete the thread if needed. i wasn't trying to encourage the negativity that happens sometimes at resorts or how some skiers and snowboarders don't see eye to eye, i would have tried to break up these fight if i were there. i mean, i know these arent such a rare find, you can find youtube fights from anywhere from ghettos to churches. i just felt like venting 'cause im new to the whole fighting/verbal stuff that goes on at these family resorts. the recent flaming i got for asking about snowlerblades ,which i looked at as advice and didn't take to heart/personally Recently went to mountain creek NJ for the first time, and for the first time in 20+ ski trips had 3 different strangers at different time who felt like talking trash about my clothes or skibladeds lol, which i ignored.plus the 50 other incidents of people i heard talking trash for no good reason mostly about clothes!, not like a good reason like "you @#$%&*##$!!! you caused me to fall!"

pardon me.i couldn't resist.

can't we all just get along-rodney king curses. not safe for work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjuRY4ftCoE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQfCMYKTpJg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFQeU-COtYE&feature=related

oh, didnt realize their's a skiboard forum. thanks for linking me there, but why can't I find the thread on those sites? you copy pasted the questions, right?

is it generally okay with manegement if i bring one of the wing jackets and hit a jump and spread my arms and fly for some time? what about a small air horn for when you need to tell someone to get out of the way real quick? okay i'm joking

to clarify this debate and for anyone who might actually want some foward input on this topic, i unexpectidly (noobie)found this has been discussed before numerous times. -blades are harder to balance on and are sometimes used to train skiiers to make balancing on skis simpler.(i somehow didn't notice this even on 88cm) -they 'chatter' when going fast unless ridden 'on edge', especially on powder with narrow blades (which i didn't notice because didn't go fast and rode wide boards in a NJ resort that was like packed ice) -they are looked down/made fun of on by skiers and thought of as an easier/wimpy alternative, kinda like wearing/not wearing a helmet despite the shaking 'chatter' and harder-to-balance factor. -breakaway bindings are highly suggested -they make you go slower -they are harder to cross eachother -they make jumping, landing, and landing grinds easier in that you don't have to bend so much ski legnth and you can land easier in ruts. but, the larger surface area of skiis might be easier only for a clean, flat landing. -not sure but i think turning on full skis is easier cause more surface area, but i didn't notice a difference.please correct me if i'm wrong about any of this. here are my sources: http://www.ehow.com/about_6404788_ski-blades-vs_-skis.html http://www.epicski.com/forum/thread/9322/snow-blades http://www.livestrong.com/article/117043-ski-blades-vs.-skis/

but, there was no advice given from others. turn this into a skiblades vs. skis and list why skis are better. i think blades are better/safer cause: -they are harder to cross, -make me go slower, but i can go faster than i want to if i go straight down -they make jumping/grinding and landing easier for me cause they don't need to bend as much.

I know i'm way in the minority with skiblades... i'm glad just being able to finally do some jumps and rails that i couldn't on skis. It's probably true that the larger skis' surface areas give better controll and make carving/slowing down easier. I prefer the smaller blades cause they are way harder to cross, don't bend on jumps/landings, and don't have to worry about rutty jump/rail landing as much.

nobody likes a showoff.

bingo! , justion. thanks for an actual answer! i'll get breakaways. so you want to take a 4 hours bus ride to a mountain instead of driving and then ride on snowblades? is this for real? i said 4 hours total, 2 each way, and YUP i'd rather take a relaxing bus/train for about the same cost as driving without putting miles on my car and being more 'green'. It amazes me that snowblades even exist anymore. They're good for exactly zero things. Grow a pair and get real skis. You'll thank yourself a year from now when you learn how to actually carve a turn. ii can carve a turn on long skis and have gone down non-hardcore black diamonds. all i'm doing the whole time is fighting the mountain and stopping myself from going too fast and avoiding the idiots near me. i'm not a speed junkie and prefer jumps and rails. i was hitting jumps and rails I'd never imagine to with long skis on my first day with 88cm so it's a win win for me. i understand what yer saying from a speed junkies perspective, but yeah i don't care about speed.

please stop acting cute, hotshot..
