snowskate

A snowskate, which was my recently received christmas gift, is a combination snowboard and skateboard. However, the bottom has a convex shape, so that we weight of the rider is evenly distributed on two central points, allowing for ease of riding.

It's other features include:

• channels in the bottom for speed and maneuverability
• non-porous grip foam on top
• heat stamped logos
• flexible construction

Some of the sweet things about the snowskate, is that it has no bindings, so that you can bail easily and MacGyver out of it. The foam refuses to get slippery, and grips really well.

Currently, only the Premier Snowskates company sells these, and they come in three models.

• R-1: made for beginner riders
• G-3: made for smaller riders
• TL-6: made for advanced riders, with full length outside channels

These all retail for between $70 and $90. Premier Snowskate currently has a website at http://www.premiersnowsk8.com/, and a 5 minute demo video titled "Progression".
