- Here is an ultimate guide to everything skiboarding. From bindings to board choices, and even a little maintenance. A lot of questions I get are just from people overthinking things, so my best advice is just take this info and make an informed person decision and then shred! Simple as that!
FAQs
1. Do you still ride for RVL8?
Yes! Meet the rest of the Pro Riders here
www.rvl8skiboards.com/team.html
2. I am 200+ lbs. Can I still ride?
Yes! Like I stated in the video, KTPs would be a great option. You will want a stiffer board like those and most likely non-release bindings.
3. No poles? Can I use them?
NO POLES! lol but yes you could use them if you really want but that defeats the purpose and freedom of riding Skiboards in the first place. Learn how to push and use your edges and you will never pick up a pair of poles again.
4. Is it like rollerblading?
Similar in the skating movements but other than that it is closer to skiing than anything else.

Hey man love you vids, but I have a question.. I've been riding ski boards for 5 or 6 years now but 75cm boards. I've found they're terrible for trying to land jumps and powder, is that typical for a 75cm set up because of the lack of surface area? I also find my buddies who ski are way faster and glide way better then me even when I'm freshly waxed and they arent. What's your opinion on 75cm boards? I run SnowJam boards with a chamfered side if that helps at all, I'm looking at Revel8s currently!
My wife is a really good snowboarder, shes been boarding her whole life. The last 10 years ive been trying to learn and it just isnt fun trying to move like that. A year ago i tried skiiing and didnt have any better of a time. Ive rollerbladed most of my life so tried out some snowblades a week ago and loooooooooved it, so today im expecting my own rvl8 boards to show up, all due to this video thank you!!!
Preach!!! Thank you for representing us skiboarders and spreading the word. I tried a pair of K2 fattys about 20 years ago (coming from a pair of Rossi 205 GS skis) and have never put full length ski's back on. I love the questions and comments I get from people when I'm out riding my XL Blunts. People are amazed by the boards and what I can do on them. My 13 year old son even prefers to ride my old Line Weapons over his full length Line Super Heros. Keep spreading the word Brother. Skiboarder for life!!
YES! Your vlogs inspired me to pick up skiboarding last year- and I love it. So glad to see your vlogs on the slopes again. To another great season!
YESSSSSSssssss... More skiboarding please. Had my DLP's for two years now, still shredding.
I've been waiting so long for this video I already made my RVL8 purchase. Went with the 2017 Sticky Icky Icky with Spruce Riser. I'm not confident enough in my riding to run the non-release bindings, for now. I cannot wait to hit the mountain for the first time on them. You are definitely one of the main reasons I went with RVL8 over Summit. I would love to ski more ski boarding content.
Just got some retro klimax ski boards, been saving up for my Birthday 12 21 22 .Giving it my first shot at The Winter Place in WV. Can't wait. Learning from your videos.
Probably my most favorite vidoe you've made. that was some dope shit! If anyone has actually rode skiboards they'd know how fast they actually are. I've dusted people all day long on snowboards/ Skis havent gotten up to 75 80 mph just yet but definitely 65 70 all day! more of these videos my dude!👍👍
Perfect introduction to skiboarding for people who knew nothing about it (me included). You guys make it look effortless in your videos, and while I know that it isn't, this got me excited to hit the mountain to try it! Thanks for this buyer's guide Talon, I'll be rewatching this one for reference as I get my setup dialed in.
Glad you enjoyed it Chad, thanks for watching!
Looks cool. I did a search on skiboards and there isn’t much info besides all of your videos. Why isn’t this more popular?
I love how my husband said my ski boards are slow, yet I kept passing him on the ski slope 😀
Can't wait to see some skiboard action!
Thank you for this my man ! I really don't know how these haven't caught on more
Thank you Talon! This video is everything! So informative! I now have a sick set up and can’t wait to try it out!
Glad it could help!
Hey Talon came across your videos a couple weeks ago and was inspired to buy some skiboards. My MNPs just showed up and i cant wait to try them out.
Keep these videos coming! Skiboarding is frickin' lit!!
I wait for my Blunt XL! Hope i get it soon to germany.
🤘🏻
Sweet ski boards! Keep up the good work brother!
Hell yeah! Still cranking out skiboard videos! Keep it up, for the sport!
thank you for all the great info ❣️
Thank you so much for Making the video Talon! 2 Things: 1. Please show us your Guitars :D 2. How are your Full Tilt Boots? How about a review? :D
Cant Wait for the Teams Riding Videos and see you Guys Bust Some Trix!
just grabbed a used pair of skiboards, as a snowboarder im excited to try em out !
This was uploaded on my birthday. It's a sign.
I loved this video. I learned a lot of new information i did not know. I got into skiboards back in 2017 while living in Colorado. I never heard of RVL8. My first pair were a pair of SnowJam 540's Panzer 90 cm and now my new pair are Summit Marauder 125cms. Both with snowboard bindings using a summit riser kit. I was just wondering what are your thoughts on Summits skiboards and longer skiboards. I noticed that RVL8 only went up to 110 cm and they were wider. thanks in advance and keep posting skiboard videos!
Wow some of these clips are either super cool or just hilarious. Loved 9:10
Yo I go to Elk to board all the time!! If i end up seeing you there this season I'll DEFINITELY have to say Hi!
22:05 “Boba Fetted” I’m gonna use that in daily conversation to describe things. Awesome.
I love your garage dude. its huge
Remember last year at bear I got on the lift and I was wondering what these people were doing. The one guy that was on the lift said these aholes that film crap😂 little did I know until I got home I found out it was u guys😂
I been to Colorado a few times always wanted to try it this makes it seem do able.
Hey man I’m so pumped to see this coming back . I grew up 15 min away from blue mountain ski resort in PA and I haven’t seen too many people riding them anymore . Any ideas on where to get them locally in PA ? I live in Bethlehem , pa
Informative video; thank you. Come on down to Winter Park, Colorado -great tree SkiBoarding
I still use my mike nick's as my daily driver when not hunting powder. rad to see someone else still have them around :)
Mike nicks are awesome! They are pretty similar to the Stuff and things board this year... just a bit shorter and skinnier.
I love my RVL8 B.Lyfe Skiboards 🔥
hey, lost touch with you guys out from here in the UK but still love my spliffs, i went to 140's via Spruce with some Head Ethan Toos that were the thing at the time....sticking with my spliffs this season and some new shorties from Head skis at 140
Thanks for the info!
Dude! Head up to my hood in Utah! Park City, Alta or snowbird. Take your pick. Pretty much all the resorts are opened here already. Let’s make it happen
Hey talon these things awesome but I was curious what makes them different from regular skis besides the size and width. Like what are the advantages or disadvantages
I use to ski-board a lot in the early 2000's! So much fun! Is this still popular in 2019!?!
Hey! Lots of great info here. 5’4” 45 year old terrible skier here. Considering skiboards because I simply can’t turn in normal skis. I have my own full tilt boots, because of shin pain, and will be skiing on green/blue slopes in WV. Since I fall quite a bit, should I get traditional release bindings?
What kind of skiboards would you recommend to someone who wants to fool around and enjoy the mountain (mostly on slopes and around them)? I have proper powder skis for off-piste, and I am looking for something to jib around when I decide to ski on slopes.
Hi Talon! Love this skiboard guide but could you also consider doing a guide for actually riding them, like how to improve or tips for advanced riding/tricks? I've been skiboarding for a bit now but I don't get to go too often, and I'm kind of stuck at an intermediate level. I went to Park City recently and had no trouble riding through most of the blues, but I have difficulty with more advanced techniques like doing tricks, riding backwards, going down steep slopes, moguls, etc. I've looked around but there doesn't seem to be much help for improving my skiboard skills (mostly only found regular skiing or snowboarding). My best bet of trying to improve has just been watching your videos and trying to figure out how you ride, but some tips/tricks to become a better skiboarder would be much appreciated!
My son and I both play ice hockey, I have not snowboarded in years... but plan on taking my son who is 11 to the slopes in march. Thoughts on skiboards for ice skaters? For beginners? For our first trip? Thanks!
I have zero interest in ski boards but if you post it I’ll watch it lol 😂 keep up the great work 👌🏻
Could you please try and review the RVL8 Spliff? Looks to cool even if it might not be a park specific board
I'm an advanced skier but have never tried skiboards before. I enjoy powder skiing, mogul skiing, and tree skiing. What type would be best for me?
I love my ski boards, can’t wait for winter. I do get a lot of comments some good some bad, I don’t care I’m having fun.
CeCe B - When I get negative comments I just tell them, “it’s all about having fun.”
I've got a pair of head 94 razzle dazzles, I do mostly tree runs/moguls what do you suggest is a good upgrade? I love my dazzles just wanna try something else this year.
you know, I am an OK snowboarder but I could never really manage to learn to ski. I tried and it felt so constrained with the long shape. Not to mention heavy on the legs. I wonder iif I try again using this skiboards things will be more fun and easier. I think I will really try this.
I was wondering if you have tested the Summit Skiboards Invertigo 118 cm Skiboards with Atomic L10 Release Bindings 2019/20 . Looking into getting them, but not many reviews out there. Thanks
That Taylor guitar tho 👀👌🏾
Maybe high risen bindings would give you the leverage you need to control snowboard booted skiboards.
as a rider from Alberta Canada. our rockies have lotta powder and deep snow.
what model would you recommend for this type of terrain.
debating from KTP vs DLP but im worrying if they would be too long
do they feel much different than 88cm skiboard that i have?
i want it still easy to do tricks and carving but sometimes 88cm digs into the powder snows up here it slows me down..
does KTP float good on powder even though i dont move the binding backwards?
id like to go shorter as possible but still good enough for carving and moguls and powder
actually i just found that there is going to a Revolt 5 SEI collab do they perform well in powder as well? i see on the comparison chart revolt 5 has score 6 on powder
Talon you should do a video on how you started on like if you started on a snowboard, skis or ski boards and how you ended up getting sponsored by rvl8
I started on Skiboards when I was 15 and just progressed every year until I made their flow team, their amateur team the next year and then pro the year after. Now there is just the pro team who has been riding with RVL8 for years.
that's awesome I'm a snowboarder and i had never heard of skiboards until i started watching your channel a couple years ago. but before you found skiboards did you ride anything else or was it straight to skiboard.@@TalonSei
Can you please share more about skiboard with snowboard boots? What bindings would fit? Thanks a lot!
I have been googling all around but i still haven't found an answer to the following question: Can I use frame touring bindings (like the Tyrolia ambition) and skins on a skiboard?
Hey talon I know it’s late and it’s pretty old but can you review the H&K P30 I don’t know how hard it is to find I would appreciate it man thanks love your videos keep it up
I live in Washington DC what are some good spots you would recommend to go ski
My ski boards are getting wax as we speak, getting ready for the new ski season 😀
I’m not a great skier and I picked up a pair when I was helping my kids learn. No poles and short I could easily get close to the kids to pick them up.
Now all I use are snow boards. I use regular release bindings with the DIN turned down a bit (non-aggressive older rider). I want those things to pop off if I get crossed up! I’ll live with the “yard sale!” Comments and skip the trip down in the sled, lol.
Edit: I used them several years with the non-release bindings with no problems.
Just curious, why is it called RVL8? What's the story behind the name?
Did you think I can use snowboard boat on this board? And use it whit splitboard attack for use for Walk or alpinism?
Sorry if I'm wrong with English.
I like the skid more than skiing because I can do many things.
In Japan, many skiers think that they are newcomers, but what about them?
I switched from a karving ski, but I feel that the skid is more difficult.
This is a dope gun video
Thank you electric escargot
And you forgot minnesota
Ah yes! A new viewer! Welcome to talons winter channel lol
i am worse on snowboard and ski but all my friends and family members du ski or snowboard. do you suggest to try it? my issue, i cannot break and i am a heavy rider, so too fast too quick
Great vid thx
So Colorado ? Coming for the meetup at the start of February?
Do they make skins for these? Sweet Tahoe footage!
For someone who’s never ridden snowboards or skis , you recommend to start on these ? I definitely wanna try this out!
There's no snow in Miami bro 😂 but yeah you could start on Skiboards
Love it man. I didn’t realize these were still around. How are they to skin with in the backcountry?
I haven’t skimmed with em but backcountry is sooooo much fun with a good powderboard setup
@@TalonSei Awesome. Would love to shred with ya sometime. Really appreciate the guide. Dig your videos, just realized you were into skiboards. Love to see it haha
What would be the best skiboards for butters and such. The condors?
I try to go to the website for the boards but it doesn’t let me buy anything am I doing something wrong? How do I figure out the size for a board
🤙Great!
I still have those mike nicks and the model year prior (black/white with conehead) haven't been skiing or anything in at least 15 years. Taking them out next week. To be honest...feels weird for me to be using them seeing as I'm now in my early 30s. I'd rather just ski at this point I think? But my thought is I'll be able to hop on the skiboards and probably be able to hang okay almost right out if the gate with the people I'm going with. Whereas skis I think it'd take me a little longer
Wait a minute man I just realized were you skiing Boulder in this video? If so we should link up there man I'm from the area!
Good Stuff!!! :-)
I just heard of this. I don't get it, why not just get regular powder skis?
So how do you concealed carry when you skiboard?
Yo if you ever want to go to blue mt, let me know. I can hook you up with some tickets.
Really wanna get some DLPs, I wish shipping to canada was less
I got boards I want to put non-release bindings on but can’t afford them at the moment
I currently have the Revel8 DLPs. I've been using them for about 8 years now and love them but wondering if you could suggest a longer board? Could you test/review the Summit Marauder?
I just bought the summit Marauder 125cm. I have the same question. I was using the snowjam 540 panzers 90 cm. Both have snowboard bindings with the summit risers. I have not used my Marauders yet. My trip is April 8th to Colorado. I will have a review for sure after my trip!
I wouldn’t not recommend anything longer than 110. At that point you are basically riding short skis
I think you should see about getting your own designed boards.... rvl8 talons has a nice ring to it
I already do. Check out the last 2 years and this years RVL8 Revolt 👍🏻
@@TalonSei just might have to thanks
Gosh I just got some but my dad will not let me take it to the mountains because he wants me to use my skis. I wish I could use mine😢
Hi. I've been snowblading for over 20 yrs, but it was always a struggle to go through powder. A few years ago, I learned about skiboards and bought Summit Carbon Pro 99cm, thinking that the wider design would help. It's certainly better than regular snowblades, but it still doesn't ride well. I've fallen because the boards sunk into snow, so I tend to tire my legs keeping the front tips up to prevent it. Do I just need to buy a longer board with more of a rocker design? I'd appreciate any tips. Thank you.
Try some real Skiboards like RVL8 😎 condors, playmakers, blunts, spliffs are just a few 👌🏻
@@TalonSei That sounds like a sponsored response lol...
You asked… just telling you wider better boards with zero camber, rocker and features that will float and powder. Good luck.
I started with the big foot skiboards before my mike nick pros the same you started with than I switch to snowboarding
Nice, could you do some videos for beginners?
I currently have Summit Nomad 99 and im looking for new boards. What Rvl8 board would u say rides similar to them? Thanks for the video
Revolts would be similar or maybe stickies
Talon Sei Thanks!
And Rvl8 Spliff? you test it?
Whats the difference between skiboards and ski blades
wait did you say if you dont know what is again in another video.
71 to like and keep the video coming 😎
these kind of skiboards is impossible to get in sweden can't find them at all
These are shorter skiboards and beneath your skill level but What do you think about the RVL8 Bantam 75 or Tansho 90 cm skiboards?
I would not recommend bantams for adults, they are very small and anyone over 150lbs would risk breaking them. Tanshos would be a better choice but I still personally recommend 98cm+ to most adults.
@@TalonSei Thank you! You should come out with some instructional video for idiots like me on How to skiboard LOL
7:57 lol
What's the difference between Ski boards and snow blades? Is there a difference?
Yes there is... ruclips.net/video/TIRthqzUN5E/видео.html
It is very nice Information!! May I ask you that why you are not coming to UTAH?! Do you have any reason not to come to UTAH?!
Here it is very nice resorts are!
I might get there at some point, it's not normally one of our regular stops tho
@@TalonSei Westfest 2019
yeeeee boi
I have no interest in ski boards but your voice is so soothing.....
Are Line Weapon skiboards a good option?
Fyi, I'm a new skier, stick to groomers, and don't plan on hitting any jumps. Just skiing with my kids.
