Hey I'm Luke. 20yrs old. From Chicago; we get snow, but never stays fresh for long with 3million people trashing it... Been skateboarding since I was naive enough to jump on the "coolwagon," which skating actually is lol. I've wanted a snowskate ever since I saw really basic plastic ones years and years ago but never got one. Instead I made my own ghetto versions from old decks... (lol sighhhhh.....). But I finally bought my first snowskate last season (Premier Cardiel... mehh) when I went to school at Ripon in Wisconsin and finally had hills and good terrain to ride on! Plus a shit ton of snow that lasted pretty much all winter long and then some.

I coerced my girlfriend into getting me an Ambition this season for my birthday... she's alright in my book lol. I'm still getting the hang of shit and trying to progress out of ride-ons and the likes, but I love following the sport and hope it flourishes like it should! I think the Ambition team is doing great things for progression and widespread recognition, most notable with the new film and JUX doc, which I watched four times in a row when I first saw it. Really captivating shit, great work guys keep it up and hopefully I'll get some progression myself this season and get some vids/pics up in the future :twisted:

Hello I'm Tim

Hi I'm Tim
I'm from Northerneastern Ohio in the U.S. I live in the very northeast corner of Ohio, smack dab between Cleveland Ohio to the West and Erie PA to the East. I started skateboarding back in '98 and skated for quite a few years (until about '03) I was never super good, but i can say i accomplished a lot of what i wanted, and skateboarding was a really fun thing to be involved in. I am still a fan of skateboarding, and recently last summer got back on my board for about a week, but i'm definitely feeling old (I'm 24 now) and landing on hard ass concrete isn't my cup of tea (not to mention my ankles are so jacked they click every time i walk. Feels bad man.
Anyways i was helping this one guy i know clean out some cottages and he told me to help myself to whatever i wanted, and i spied a snowskate, well fast forward two years later, and i finally tried it. It's an early plastic premier. I was amazed at how fun it is, and how it doesn't really hurt when you fall or bail on a snowskate compared to a skateboard. We've only gotten one good snow in this year (which is unusual because we usually have a LOT of snow dumped on us from Lake Erie!) but i took advantage of it and built a little ramp outta snow and ollied off of it and caught a little air. My friend AJ, tried it and he ollied and grabbed (indy?) anyways it was a lot of fun. I looked up youtube videos and saw all the amazing shit you could do on it. Yesterday i downloaded the "color" video. Its F-ing sweet!!! Well i'm looking forward to more snow, and having a positive hobby/sport to once again be involved in. I'm psyched, and i haven't been psyched like this in a long time. Anyways i just wanted to tell my story and introduce myself, not write an autobiography or anything. Nice to meet you all and i hope to oneday snowskate with some of you. Cheers, and happy New Years! :!:

hey, im aaron
im 14, basically same story, i am still riding that "extra plastic" waiting for my red team board to come. i cant do much, i have a bad set up but i have a couple of friends with some good stuff, just trying to work with what i got. i started like halfway through winter last year, i skateboard some, and i snowboard as much as possible during the winter. weather is iffy here in new hampshire, so i cant count on anything.

Hello I'm Josh from oshawa ontario canada.

I'm 23, I used to snowskate about 5 or 6 years ago but i stopped skating and snowskating all together. Just recently got back into it and bought an icon the other day, I will be getting a smage as well whenever my shop gets their order. I'm pretty much back to where i started in terms of skill which sucks, but what can you do. Anyways if there's anyone around my area that knows some good spots let me know.

plastic_magician wrote:thanks Justin! and by the way I forgot to say in my little "bio" there that Ambition is of the main reasons why I believe this sport has a bright future, not to say "the" main reason, so no need to mention I'll represent it to the fullest in the years to come and I encourage all of you guys to choose Ambition over Premier because it's way up ahead in terms of quality, and when you buy an Ambition you directly invest in the sport's progression because Alex B. is constantly trying to devellop new and improved boards.


hey charlo im kinda nerdy i was just thinking you know how fiberglass you put epoxy on it . i was wondering could you use polyester and do the same thing, just a thought.
