Don't know but I added a lot to it. There's probably a few people contributing to it.

Good job, I learned even more now.

It's funny how twin tip skiing grew out of skiboarding, yet skiboarding gets ridiculed by skiers. I think eventually if we all together showcase skiboarding in ways that skiing can't then it may grow yet again, like breakdancing. It was big around the 80s then went underground and now is gaining massive media attention again. Hopefully we can do the same.

I know that I will definitely do my part in promoting skiboarding. If each of us promoted it, it can make a big impact on the skiboarding industry in a positive way. I can't wait till December! :D

I do that too, but one handed. I also do a kip up etc. I am mixing breakdancing and skiboarding. I can't wait to try flips and grabs mixing breakdancing and skiboarding this season!

What if I'm not? Isn't skiboarding looking for innovation to separate from twin tip skiing? I will make some videos to show you what I mean this season if I can get around to it or better yet see me in person. Hopefully I will make some vids for the internet people.

I have a feeling you guys are starting to see this as a negative thing or worst yet, towards me.

hell i dont see why you guys should care how he's riding, it may sound rediculous but hell isnt skiboarding rediculous to most people in the first place.

If you can REALLY do cartwheels while riding while NOT breaking your legs, more power to ya, I just can't imagine it being done, that's all.

Honestly, if he wants to do this, let him. Who knows, maybe this could evolve into the snow equivalent of flatlanding. Being able to do rolls and such and end up poping right back up onto you boards, then a tip press, some slides. If done right it could actually be really cool, and something that would definately set skiboarding aside from skiing and snowboarding.

Hey, xxjzattaxx says he can do a cartwheel too, so that makes two of us. All right! :) I'm crazy, so I am doing crazy things to have fun and see what new moves I can come up with. That's the main reason why I love breakdancing.

I know it's going to be hard and impossible to translate some breakdancing moves into skiboarding, but hopefully I can grind and at the end of the tip do a one hand grab, bboy style. I know the momentum is going to be a problem, but I will have to be going slow to do this. Also, a flip that I do in breakdancing, I want to try on skiboards this season. Hopefully I can land it.
