ColoradoHigh Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 I am planning to get a pair of skiblades. I am not sure if they are easy to ski with or not. How much do they cost? Do skiblades come from Atomic? What brand should I get? Should I stick with my other regular skis? If anyone could respond with some reveiws on which is better, that would be great. Thanx!!!! Quote
mojoskier Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 i personaly like regular skis beter but last year i got a pair of groove air force 1s they are really fun 4 the park. Quote
toast21602 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 snowblades are the poorman's twintip. if you like to ski the park. get a pair of twins. to be completely honest with you, people don't take snowbladers seriously. they may be cheap, but they are nothing compared to skis. i know from expereience. i bought a pair of snowblades when i was in 6th grade because i couldnt afford skis and it was the worst thing i could have done. the next year i get twins and havent gone back because there really is no reason to.

ColoradoHigh Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Posted December 31, 2005 So snowblades are not fun? What are twin tips? I still don't know what I will do. LOL. Quote
toast21602 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 So snowblades are not fun? What are twin tips? I still don't know what I will do. LOL. twin tips are skis... no blades. primarily a park ski but many of them have the ability of being a good all-mountain ski like mine are... http://salomonskis.com/ Quote
adrian Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 snowlerblades are for clowns. the question you need to ask of yourself is, "am i a clown?" Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 Twin tip skis, are skis that are pointed up in the tip and tail of ski. They are fatter then most race skis. A normal mid twintip ski is 80mm-85mm waist. There are super soft park skis, or stiffer park skis. Snowblades are stupid and no one rides them anymore. If you want a good twintip package, and good park bindings go to http://www.princetonoutdoor.com/browse.cfm/4,8202,1718.htm That is one hell of a deal. If I were you I would seriously think about gettin those, instead of snowblades. Quote
Justin Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) Those things/the people that do them suck incredible amounts of suck. Every trick they do looks insanely ugly! At BC I seen some kid with them that must of been like 50 or 60cm long...they were just a bit bigger than his boot. Why not just run down the mountain instead? Im no twin-tipper, but from what I know they have identical noses and tails, so you can ride fakie and not catch on the ski. Edited December 31, 2005 by justin Quote
skifreak Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 Skiblade bindings don't release like regular ski bidnings do. So if you take a nasty fall you are asking for a broken leg(s). However I think atomic came out with a type of skiblade with bindings that release, but I'm not certain. Quote
toast21602 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 what it comes down to is: Snowblades are the devil. Quote
xNick11 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 ski blades wobble all over the place when ur at high speeds and twin tips really dont unless they are really soft..i would go with twin tips they are 10x better and for jumping they are to cause they give u more of an area to land on.

Papasteeze Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 uhhh, friends don't let friends snow blade. Not stylish, not cool. In the words of a newschooler, blades are gay. If you want to be cool, grind your ski boot bottoms flat and ski on those, between drop-ins on a set of twins. Quote
Ski Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 snowlerblades are for clowns. the question you need to ask of yourself is, "am i a clown?" Ha, or just a stupid chick? Quote
Glenn Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 Ha, or just a stupid chick? ... first thing we need to do is get her out of those wet jeans Quote
Ski Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 She's a foreigner...have to find her first. Quote
LineSki Posted December 31, 2005 Report Posted December 31, 2005 hahaha that picture is great. but yeah dont buy ski blades, rock some twin tips. that deal that montage skier has is great. Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Posted January 1, 2006 I saw a guy go off the smaller booter at Blue today on ski blades and he landed in the backseat which is not to forgiving on snowlerblades. I think snowblades stink and it's one thing that skiers and boarders can agree on is that snowlerbladers look silly. I think they would be a good tool for staying centered on your skis since you can't lean to far forward or backwards. I would say get better at regular skiing. AtomicSkier556 how long have you been skiing for? I have been skiing since I was like 6 I am 15 now. I started to actually work on manouvers on skis last year, to get better and get myself ready for the tough stuff. Before this, I was just going down the mountain. This year is the year for me to improve 10 times better then before. Ha, or just a stupid chick? What kind of lift is that in the background? Those look pretty cool (the lift, not the skis.) So I guess I came to my conclusion, skiblades are downright stupid. I don't do tricks so I guess twin tips are out of the question too. Ahhhh screw it, I will keep using the skis I am skiing on now. Lol Thanx for everyones feedback, that helped me a bunch. And no, I am not a clown. I am more of a modern monkey lol, jkjkjkjk Quote
skifreak Posted January 1, 2006 Report Posted January 1, 2006 The lift is either a 6 passenger lift or a quad. It looks different because it has a cover that comes down to protect you from the cold and the falling snow. Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Posted January 1, 2006 Yea thats what I like about that lift. HAHA. Happy New Year. Ring in 2006 right. Have a safe and happy one! Quote
