Snowboarding or Skateboarding?

Snowboarding, and the summer alternative, FREEbording.

I love the glides, drifts, and mobility of a snowboard. You can be as free and flowing as you want to be, but still be in complete control. NOTHING feels better than whipping down a hill, wind and powder blowing behind you as you bomb at 50+mph.

I spent the last 13 years snowboarding, and 4 skateboarding.

As far as skateboarding goes, I can ollie, kickflip, 180, basic stuff. But snowboarding is something I can better relate to, and do a lot more with.


Oh! And Freebording! A Freebord is basically a skateboard, as long as a snowboard, with 1 wheel underneath each truck that pivots and twists, so you can drift and turn and glide like you would on a real snowboard. It's also got 2 hooks to put your feet in to secure you into it.
Stopping is the same as it would be on a snowboard also.

EDIT: Also, if you fall, it's a lot more thrilling to be hurling uncontrollably at 50mph and feeling pretty much nothing, as apposed to hurling uncontrollably at 50mph on pavement where you feel EVERYTHING.

That is true. Falling on snow feels nice, even better when you crash in a big pile of powder snow. But sometimes it can be ice and that will hurt depending on where you land.
With skateboarding if you fall your going to get a cut almost every single time.
