I will say, even though I used to skateboard, I find snowboarding to be a very different activity. Works different muscles, total different mechanics - only similarity to me is your stance and board. It's not just skateboarding on snow like many laypeople think.
Yep, more like surfing.contakt321 wrote:I already have a ton of expensive hobbies

I remember hearing about this a while ago on this forum and being suitably impressed back then! Great stuff! Always wanted to try out a LibTech board (intrigued by Magne-Traction), but was never in a resort where I could try them out. Say what you like about Burton dominating the market, at least the dealers let you try them out on the slopes here.Tarekith wrote:Been riding for years, next to music, snowboarding is probably the one thing I'm best at.
