Sure skateboarders hate that sport, cus we have bindings, they think that we trying to escape learning ollyies hahaha =) I would rather learn ollie 3 times longer then bail so hard with bindings on a street spots whyle learning all the other tricks (its not the same as falling on snow though). The same missunderstanding i hear from snowboarders when i snowskate, they say that snowskate is a toy, cus i cant do such a massive airs like tem =)))

hi, my name is kirk and im from ontario... winter seasons here are great because from christmas until the middle of march or so we get tons of snow, and it dosnt leave until late march... i have been snowskateing for 1 year and i love it, im a plastic skater like COSD. he is definetly the best plastic skater i have ever seen and im so much worse than him but he is my snowskateing influence. i would like some insight on how i should decide if i should start skateing with a wooden deck.

Either get an Ambition model of next year or the COSD's pro model (in plastic).

[trainie]

do you have any idea how much either of those would cost... im thinking about going to the pro COSD model

We can't say anything yet... You'll have to be patient and wait until our official release.

thanks man!! I'm glad to see that you share the same passion for snowskate as most of people here do (including myself of course!!)

now if you want a little advice concerning your board choice, my suggestion for you would be to stick with plastics since you started with those, and then if after a while you realise you're not progressing, move on to a wood... In my case, there has never been such a dilemma because I've been using plastics since day one and the progression has never really stopped, but since it's different for everyone, I wouldnt recommend to keep using a board that you dont feel comfortable on, so if this is your situation, well you know what to do. However, as Alex said in another post, if you currently have a board that has been manufactured by premier after 2002, it is most likely shit and does not reflect the true plastic qualities, so then if you wanna try the real thing, just buy an Ambition plastic when it comes out and you will immediately see the difference...

also if you want a wood you can go see icon snowskates

If you are also a snowboarder you may prefer the feeling of plastics because of the flex when doing boardslides.
