One can also shift stance to nollie, ride switch or fakie, do manuals. Railslides are a genuine challenge, as they demand one to truly ollie up to the rail, and maintain balance and footing on the board to land. A lot of jibbing in bindings on a snowboard now looks like cheating. The appeal of the snowdeck is not only its technical riding potential, but also its simplicity. We're back to the days when you can ride in your yard, or on a golf course, without spending hundreds of dollars on equipment, or feeling foolish for doing so when riding such terrain.
Cities become terrain parks, backyards become backcountry, snowboarders become skaters.
It's actually quite easy to ride a snowdeck. Making turns on packed snow is simple because of the leverage of being elevated, and the flex and sidecut of the subdeck. With a leash, riders are already getting on resort lifts and hitting terrain parks-or just cruising, making turns, and popping the occasional ollie. More models and features will surely follow next fall. Information are applicable to this site.
