    Dude I use to ride skiboards all the time in the early 2000’s! I actually haven’t ridden since 2004 when a friend of mine and I drove out from Minnesota to Jackson Hole. Man that mountain tore me to pieces! Super advanced compared to Minnesota hills. But I’m so excited to finally get back on the mountain! I miss how quiet it is on the mountain! I miss those frosty mornings. It is such a fun sport! And I think it’s easier on my knees then skis.
    I have the experience just got super outa shape.
    Been skiing since I was 5 years old. Ready to shred again! I love your channel! Great content!

    I just purchased my first pair of RVL8 boards last night, the 2014 DLP's. Decided to get those due to the graphic mostly, the 2016 pinball graphic is awesome but there is something about the 2014 that caught my eye; pun completely intended. I have been riding an old pair of Line Weapons for way too long, it was finally time to upgrade and what better company to support than the only company progressing the sport. Being someone that's been riding skiboards for 15+ years I have seen just about every brand come and go, heres to hoping RVL8 can keep on producing these for years to come.

    Every once in a while I watch this video because it's fun... Used to snowblade a LONG time ago, and haven't been on the hills in years. Bought a pair of used KTPs (2013 edition), and I'm stoked to get back to the hills this winter... Going to convert the Receptor bindings to step-ins. Waiting to get knew boots and then work with Greco to get everything set up.
    Need to get an updated SBO coupon..haha. Kidding............ Thanks for this video as it has a lot of good detail in it.

    Great video!! I bought my first pair of RVL8 KTP in 2013 and haven't turned back. Before that I had a pair of Line Mike Nick Pro's and before that random snowblades like yourself. I also snowboard which I love, but nothing compares to skiboarding! Tried going back to regular skiis 1 day last season and it was just boring compared to skiboarding. Currently deciding which pair to get next - it's a tough call between the Blunt XL or the Spliff's and this season I'm living in Banff so will be heading up as much as possible. Preparing myself for all the insults - can't wait to fly by people on regular skis haha! Last year I hit 107km/h on the KTP's so if anyone tries to say they're not as fast as regular skiis they have no idea :)

    I love these skiboards, first time trying it was back in 2012 but I got to use it beginning of this year for whole month so tried some tricks and speed experiements. I can ride both ski and snowbard so this was something that I could enjoy alot, not as slow as snowbards also can do some sick tricks easily. I'm going to buy a pair of these in the future. D:

    • @TalonSei
      @TalonSei  7 лет назад +1

      If you're getting into powder but still want some rigidity for the park I would recommend the regular condors. Once you get used to the wide footprint I think you will love them. Also KTP's are a good all mountain board, they are obviously shorter but the width helps them float. I have ridden a lot of backcountry on them.

    @BentoBox 7 лет назад

    Sick video man! I used to really be into aggressive blading during the summers while Snowboarding in the winter and then I found out about RVL8 and immediately bought a pair of '12 DLPs. I was still very much fond of the comfort afforded by snowboard boots though. So I bought a pair of snowboard bindings and the RVL8 Receptor, frankenstein'd a third strap for support using a chopped PVC tube and the result was pretty cool.
    Take a look at the album: imgur.com/a/x5RFx
    You can imagine the looks and questions I got on mountains all the time ahah. Now I must say that strapping these one was a bit of a pain in the ass. Also, whenever I'd be skiing and my feet would get too close to one another, the buckles would clank against one another and sometimes make the top strap loose. The last issue was with transfer. Because there's a bit of play between my foot and the boot and likewise between the boot and the binding, and because I believe I rest a bit higher atop the board compared to skiboots&bindings, I would feel this noticeable delay in response. I still enjoyed myself tons for the past years, but I can't say I ever even attempted parks with this contraption. I'm definitely looking into switching to a regular setup now.
    In any case, it's great to see new skiboard footage popping up! Peace.

    • @TalonSei
      @TalonSei  4 года назад

      I rode snowblades before I knew what skiboarding way. Snowblades or skiblades are poor quality, skinny, foam core with an 8 hole plastic binding construction. They are pretty much junk. Skiboards on the other hand are high quality wood core with a 4 hole construction and offer lots of feature options like skis and snowboards on the market. “Skiblades” and “snowblades” = junk. Skiboards = awesomeness

  • @Sprinkles-BtE
    @Sprinkles-BtE 7 лет назад

    Hey, great video! You mentioned they are criticized as more dangerous (than traditional skis I'm assuming). Is this mainly because the bindings don't release on impact? How is that different than snowboarding? I recently learned how to snowboard a few years back and wish I had known about these prior to choosing snowboarding over skiing. I'm really interested in trying these. Do you think it's worth it for my old ass to start over and re-learn how to ski with these? Since you've snowboarded as well, would you say they're anymore dangerous than snowboarding? I've had a couple knee twist injuries due to fast speed falls and the nose/tail getting caught in the snow during a tumble - I would imagine in the same scenario, these would do better due to the shorter length (I know the key is to keep your board up in the air during a fall but shit happens). I enjoy riding switch, riding trees and using natural features as my park vs rails/boxes.

    • @TalonSei
      @TalonSei  7 лет назад +2

      Yeah, people view the non release bindings as more dangerous, but if you know how to fall properly it isn't a big issue. It is more like skiing than snowboarding, but they are no more dangerous than either. I think most people with some snow sliding knowledge have a pretty easy time picking it up and then they eventually love the sport.

    • @Sprinkles-BtE
      @Sprinkles-BtE 7 лет назад +1

      Gotcha. I appreciate the reply! If that's all it is then I think I'll pick up a pair for next season and start learning! Being able to ski will also make it easier to introduce my boy to skiing/boarding if I'm on skis vs a board. I never see parents teaching kids with a board... I'm guessing because they can't keep them between their legs or control their descent (by "pizza'ing"). I've subbed btw, thanks again!

I've watched every single one of your skiboard vlogs, some multiple times! You have an amazing talent for filmmaking and I see your channel has grown a LOT since this comment, wow! I plan to adapt these to my snowboard boots so I can enjoy both snowboarding and skiboarding (literally bring both) while at the resorts, how f'ing cool is that? Now if only we can get some goddamn snow here in Tahoe! Ugh...

    • @Sprinkles-BtE
      @Sprinkles-BtE 5 лет назад +1

      @@VincentNguyen85 I like them but wouldn't say "love them". Learning to ride them decently took me about 2 half days at the resort. By half a season, I was pretty comfortable riding virtually anywhere and bombing groomers. But it feels like 10x the amount of leg work than snowboarding. I would have to rest to relieve quad/hip burning at points during the descent where that's just not a thing with snowboarding. I was told by a few other skiboarder guys on the forums is because I'm using a soft boot setup and all that sloppiness/play of the setup means you're working harder to maintain control. So perhaps with an actual skiboot setup, this would be less of an issue.
      I will say riding both skiboards and snowboards gave me an appreciation of the two sports, and of snowboarding that I previously took for granted simply because I didn't know better and had nothing to compare to. For one, snowboards can ollie quite high over stuff which you kind of lose the ability to with skiboards (you can ollie with skiboards but nothing like snowboards). The other thing is, snowboards are like tanks in the sense it doesn't really matter what kind of debri you're riding over (like early season riding where there isn't much ground cover or late spring riding), you just bulldoze over it without worrying about it where skiboards can get hung up and throw you to the ground. This is also by nature of how you stand on a snowboard vs skis. Your fore and aft stability is far weaker on skis than a snowboard stance so you're more unstable to sudden changes of speed that weren't predicted. You sacrifice that (fore and aft stability) for greater control and maneuverability making it way more controllable in tight tree riding. Anyway, probably more than you wanted to read. I'd say you should definitely try it if you can afford the initial investment. If you don't, the skiboard community seems keen on finding those who are selling their skiboards and you'll easily find a buyer if you don't like it and want to sell it.

      +Violet you can really ride any length. I normally recommend sticking to boards 98cm and up tho for better stability and all around performance

    Been on these for about 20 years but didn't know about Revel 8. Question - have you tried snow board boots & bindings on skiboards yet? Would love to know your thoughts if so.

    • @TalonSei
      @TalonSei  7 лет назад

      +Peter Rasa Viviani I have not yet, mainly because I am in the park and I need the support of a ski boot. I know other people who have and they seem to love the comfort.

    • @PeterRasaViviani
      @PeterRasaViviani 7 лет назад

      Ok good to know. I used to park more, but my lower back takes more of a pounding now so I stay away. Might have to check them out, any advice where to get snowboard boots and bindings? Also, back to reg ski boots, do you recommend a specific type? I asked because I have these old ones that are more upright which I find make the shorter skis much easier.

    • @TalonSei
      @TalonSei  7 лет назад

      +Peter Rasa Viviani I think youou can get bindings from Skiboardsonline or just your local shop. As for ski boots I ride SPKs because they are park oriented. It all depends on your foot shape, I would go to your local shop and talk to someone who can measure your foot and give you a solid recommendation.

    • @fsp48

      Like you, I've been on skiboards a long time as well although life got in the way and I had taken a long break from the slopes until getting back out there a few years ago. That got me started looking at what was new with skiboards and I had soon found Revel8. I called them up and got caught up on things and decided on a pair of Revolts and went with the Soft boot binding and a pair of K2 Ryker snowboard boots from Backcountry. Only thing I had to modify was making a small notch with a Dremel on the upper cuff strap on the bindings for that boot liner plastic anchor tie down thing because it stuck out and conflicted with the binding strap. I have never had so much comfort, support and control on the slopes. I doubt I'll ever be going back to ski boots. I like speed and hard carving at this point but will pop off some small jumps if i'm feeling it. The snowboard boots are so nice at absorbing shock on hard landings and are super light. I've had no issues with control and edge transfer or lack of support. I'm not exactly going big air or anyting. I rode in Vermont and New Hampshire on my Revolts and wanted something even better for deeper snow so I got a pair of the Spliffs the next season and they were even better. I think I want to try the Blunts next and see how skate like they feel. I grew up on ice skates and skied so In the 90's my hockey, ramp and inline years turned into doing local Sled Dogs snow skate demos. While out on Sled Dogs another skate friend was flying around on some Bigfoots. I researched a bit and ended up getting a demo pair of Microskis. Back then, to me, those felt the most like skates on the downhill with better float on the softer groomer snow than Sled Dogs had. A local shop only carried Dynastar Twins and a regular skate friend and I ended up buying them blindly without any test runs. Those unfortunately had way too much flex for me at 6'4" 205 back then. Twin tip or not, they were just not as fun or as stable as the MicroSkis. While attending the NSGA trade show I stopped at the Canon booth and found out more about what they called Skiboards. I ended up getting another friend's shop to carry them and did some local promo demo stuff and rode on the Canon M7 on my heavy Lang ski boots for years. It's been great to pick up where I left off on the Revel8 gear.

    I'm a devout snowboarder that has prayed with every fiber of my being that skiers would just magically disappear, but these things caught my attention. I can't say I've ever said more than 3 sentences to a skier, much less talked about their hardware, so any suggestions on boots? I feel like I'm reading Chinese when I look at ski boots/ specs/ descriptions. I am a very versatile rider, but I'd probably look mostly towards the park on these with some tree runs sprinkled on top

    • @TalonSei
      @TalonSei  7 лет назад

      +Tyler Durden RVL8 makes bindings where you can wear snowboard boots with these believe it or not, for park riding you will probably want something like full tilts. Best bet it to talk to an actual boot fitter at a shop, they will know what's best for your foot
