Pretend snowboarding on your skateboard is actually more fun than snowboarding. I've snowboarded some shit in my time but eventually figured that out and ditched all the wet heavey equipment.

I can imagine. Sounds like a nightmare just to get to a mountain, plus all the costs. Sounds like Crossfit to me, in other words, fuck that.

Hauling ass down a mountain is a really awesome feeling but it's so expensive and such a pain in the ass to get there that I've only gotten to do it half a dozen times or so in about 20 years.
Aside from having to hang out with a ton of annoying rich kids I'd still recommend giving it a try. I don't even bother with jumps and shit cause I've gotten broke on that stuff but it's still fun. If you do go for that stuff, it does feel neat when you realize you could have cleared a car off a kicker.
That spinny super pipe stuff is about as relatable to the average snowboarding experience as megaramp is to skateboarding.

Just saying, if that bowl the rider is about to enter directly in front of him has no exposed rock just pow field in his general trajectory - hes gonna be safe, even if it's 60 degrees steep and a mile long But if there is exposed granite to navigate then his line is gonna get critical. The reason he got the heli to drop him there is cause they mapped it out from the air and the rider conceives its do able. I did 'air pipen' on whis back in the day.

Coolboarders 3 yo!
That game had a mechanic where you'd just kinda fall over when you stayed set up in your ollie crouch to long. I think about that game when that happens while skating.
Like, "aw fuck, I started getting ready for this ollie way too early - I think I'm stuck here."

Skateboarding will always be my first love.
But Snowboarding is super fun. There is nothing else that compares to going fast and jumping in deep powder. Also being out in the mountains and the backcountry, is an awesome and humbling experience every time. I live somewhere it snows 4-5 months a year and there is no indoor skatepark. So winter skating is not really an option. Most of the people I snowboard and snowmobile with are not rich trust fund kids they all work hard to be able to afford these activities.
Most snowboarders could care less about the olympics, competing and the ex games.

Snowboarding is fun. Plus Cardiel had a pro model and there used to be a snow section in Thrasher (cold snap?). Like that one guy said, there's a world of difference between going up for a weekend, having a good time sliding down a mountain, and whatever monster sponsored mega pipe events.

Snowboarding is tight as fuck. Just cause you broke bois cant afford it dont mean its no good

I love snowboarding. I've only got 1 tight friend that still skates and none of my circle of friends now ever skated but they all snowboard. Sharing the feeling of going up and having a day on the hill with them is one of the best things ever. It's like stepping back 15 years to when you'd meet up with your 10 best homies at the skatepark.

You guys hate surfing too?? I only tried once in Montreal on Canal Lachine. It's this sort of perpetual wave, I think they're called standing waves. Anyhow, you have to launch from shore about 50m away and let the current take you there then paddle your way into the right spot. It was insanely difficult for me, could not get up once. It didn't help that after each try you get washed away and have to walk back to stand in line again. I didn't have a wetsuit on either so after an hour I was frozen.
I need to learn how to surf before I die. For the record snowboarding is the shit too. Some of you guys are poosy.

Truth ^
Doing FS Boardslides through a 15m down flat down is so unachievable on a Skateboard, but way in reach on a Snowboard and the feeling is fucking awesome.
Also: Powder.
Finally, Surfing is our grandfather activity and I guarantee a tonne of us will end up logging or burning around on 7ft Fish's & twin fins once we get older. Especially with the advent of Kelly's Wave Pool.

Forgot to mention, both Shaun White & Iouri Podlitchakov are piss weak compared to Ayumu Hirano.
Since Kazu showed up ~15 years ago, Japan have been as dominant in Superpipe as Canada & Norway have been in Slopestyle, yet they're only just getting the recognition that they deserve.
Ayumu got robbed in the last 5 ring circus.
After he annihilated the X Games last weekend, he better be heading home with that Golden Circle....

Your die hard love for skateboarding will not be compromised just because there's room for another board in your life; a longer, truckless, way too expensive board that is. That being said, ive had some great times up in the mountains surfing soft stuff flying around whooping and yelling with the homies. What fun is! Call of Duty and indoor parking garages can only suffice for so long.

What sucks about surfing is the culture/participants. Surfing is better than skating -you cannot beat waves. But skating is SO much more chilled out. As soon as it's too crowded in 'the water' you feel you shoulda just went skating. Also with surfing you get as much stand up time on your surfboard in a lifetime as you do in a month on your skateboard.

Oath.
Christian Fletcher's bang on with this shit.
Surfer's are so selfish in the water, which is understandable given the rarity of good waves for most.
As soon as someone starts ruling on a Skateboard, everyone's getting hyped.
The one I find most ironic is how Skaters are often way too fucking cool for everyone, especially other skaters, when the majority of us ended up Skating as a result of being weirdo's, outcasts and general nerds that never found a place on the football field, etc.

Correct. I think it was C Fletcher who said, "Show up at the skatepark and everyone is stoked to see you. Show up at the surf and no one is stoked to see you." Surf culture is the worst. Scoring good waves with a few friends is unparalleled.

I've had a lot of fun snowboarding but I hate it when people say "oh but since you skateboard you should have no problem snowboarding because its like the same thing except with snow." Couldn't be more wrong

It kinda is, unless snowboarding just happens to really be your "thing", you've got a lot of money, or you live in a ski town already.
I used to snowboard in my teens, but I can't imagine going back to it now. It's so complicated, expensive, there's usually always travel involved, etc.. What always keeps me coming back to skateboarding is the simplicity. I also like that I can pretty much keep my setup with me anywhere I go 24/7 365, when you skate a lot it really can become a part of your every day life (plus you never need that much money or a special place/conditions to do it).

Snowboarding is sick. It's what you do in the winter when you can't skate when you grow up in the mountains in Canada. Being a kid and riding with the snow crew all winter, so fun.
Olympic snowboarding is lame. This is the real shit.

The actually act of snowboarding is pretty fun but everything else is really really lame. It's kind of like buy yourself an 'alternative' lifestyle. Bunch of lame white people in shitty clothes throwing up gang signs in photos.
At least with skating and surfing it is pretty difficult so anyone out there doing it has put a bit time into it and has your respect for that at least. Snowboarding you can show up on your first day and get down the hill fine. The other thing is it ain't that fun unless you have really good snow. On icy pistes it is shite, I'd actually rather ski in anything but powder.

Hate to be the guy to tell you but that's not the way with surfing. Skating is the 'do it when I'm older' thing. I'm not saying there isn't old dudes in the line up but they stuck to it\have wave and current knowledge and their STILL on massive old dude equipment (not all but 95%). There is NO ESCAPE for any muscle you have in surfing (keep in mind your not standing up most of the time your navigating current on your stomach). You need them all. Your gonna cramp up like a motherfucker if your not tip top. Surfing is a bitch and it will kick your ass. You should do it tho(now). I say the more skaters the better prolly.

You don't need to know how to swim at all if you make sure you've got a good leash and stay out of larger surf that might break the leash. Just sayin.

I'm pretty sure it's just bad parenting. Plenty of coastline, lakes and pools to swim in. I think?

The last 2 times I went to a mountain I brought out my 25 year old (no sidecut) skis from high school because I was like "fuck sitting down and strapping my foot in 50 times". It was fun.
-
Yeah it is, I started skiing really young so I was always able to do to it at a decent level and snowboarding came relatively easy too because of skating. Obviously not all snowboarders are assholes but it definitely seems lots of them are trying to affect an image whereas most skiers are doing it because they love it. I've seen it framed like the skating vs roller blading thing but the difference is nearly all the hills were built originally for skiers like skateparks were for skaters. The beef doesn't really exist anymore anyway.
Another reason I got put off is that tow bars are a pain and the hill I was at for a few years had massive flat areas too so you always had to unclip and push with the snowboard. I have gear for both and will definitely do both again in the future however a lot of the time it is all such a hassle I wish I'd just gone skating.

I still have alpha numeric clothes in storage (old skate/snow company from late 90's early 00's)
A lot of my old homies quit skating to snowboard, I went with them once or twice, but I realized I could achieve the same feeling from hill bombs I stopped going to the snow.
Still have my old snowboard and boots, and luckly the bay area is only 3hrs away from snow, but lack of rain/snow fall has reduced wanting to go. I dig it every now and then but for the most part deter it for skating
-
For me quitting snowboarding was a release. There's so much build up before a pow day for something that isn't better than skating. The fucking laces on the boots hurting my fingers every morning and then finding your pass? I said fuck it and just put that energy into skating which paid off for me personally. You snowboard to feel like a rock star flying off cliffs and cat tracks sending it but there's more reward in a good flat ground kick flip.
-
Lot of great arguments here but.......have you been to a skatepark lately?
-
I think it might be funner that skating. I haven't done it since I was a kid though. We usta just go down hills with the Walmart ones with just a rubber loop for the bindings. Buildin jumps n shit. Funnier than sledding, and sledding is pretty fun.
I like skateboard culture a lot better though.

AWAY WHITE DEVILS

I used to snowboard when I was in my teens. I enjoyed it, but I always thought that I would rather be skateboarding. The feeling at night after a long sunny day of snowboarding is really amazing though.
I watched a few recent snowboarding competitions on youtube, after not having been interested in more that ten years. It is crazy how much it has changed since it became a competitive sport. It seems really amazing and somehow really offputting what they are doing these days. It is basicly gymnastics with a board under their feet. I wonder if skating will go along that route once it becomes an olympic sport. I am shure we will start seeing 1080 mac twists in vertramps within the next 10 years.

I watched the olympics halfpipe shit last night, honestly that stuff is so boring. But I guess so are most skateboarding competitions too relative to the type of skateboarding I like.
I went to a free snowboard video premiere last month for the first Vans video. It was like the "official" world premiere in Denver because it was the ski and snowboard expo that weekend, complete with all the riders there and Dino Jr. playing a show after. It was actually pretty sick. Got me hyped to snowboard and skate kinda. Not really any lame ballerina spin shit, and a lot of unique street shit.
The one thing I thought was odd is that there were a ton of shots that seemed to be a similar style to Greg Hunt/Propeller even though I'm sure he had nothing to do with it. Also I feel like snowboarders try to appropriate skateboarder culture in what they wear, but hey if they support Lakai while wearing like GNU or whatever snowboard company more power to Lakai.

Yes, but we steal everything that is not nailed down, as well.

Snowboard culture from the
golden myspace glory days
If that had run another 2 minutes I'm pretty sure we would have seen a game of soggy biscuit!

I've always felt like if we were meant to be in the water we'd be able to breathe there. Too many creepy crawlies for me. I stay far away from the ocean.
-
I like skiing more than snowboarding. If there's some bullshit that equates skiing to rollerblading, I really don't care. Snowboarding's uncomfortable, your legs are stuck in one position all the time, feels weird to me. But both of them are expensive and inaccessible. Snowboarding's cool, just not for me.
-
I just treat snowboarding like bombing a hill for pussies. You get to go just as fast, but it only hurts like 10% as much when you fall. So what I mean to say is it's super fun if you're a pussy like I am.

it's kinda funny to see snowboarding really blowing up for this Olympics and old guys on TV in Japan in suits discussing switch stance and caballerials. I watched a special yesterday where the guy on the ground was angry because Shaun White took gold and not the Japanese guy.
"Shaun White didn't *spin* as much"
*asks an actual snowboarder his opinion*
"Well there's this thing called 'style' too"
"I don't know about that, I'm just calling it how I see it"
Gives a bit of a scary insight to how skating will be judged/ viewed too

I really do pray that Pine can win with a quad kf down the set. How do we make this happen?

Then it sounds like you want to tele and free you're heels too (like skateboarding). I saw a tele super pro murder a big mountain line once it was graceful.

Didn't even know what that was, telemark skiing. I like, thanks for showing me.

Snow is 95 percent air. If you've ridden a powder day you know why it's amazing.
Surfing is incredible. Screaming down the line of a wave as it walls up in front of you is awe inspiring. It also works your upper body which is a nice break for those of us who have spent decades skateboarding.
The accessibility of skateboarding is what makes it so rad. You can just go without having to wait on nature to provide the goods.

^ what he said

Is this where we draw the line? Nahhhhh these look sick!
