What's going on with the videos?
A great way to learn about the sport is through videos. Many various companies have produced videos. One of the more common names is Frontside Films Inc. who have come out with such titles as SB1:A Skiboarding Journey, Two Planker Knuckle Draggers, SB2:Da Kiennan, SB3, and others. We enjoy their videos the best because of the fact that the cast consists of pros. Mike Nick, Brinton Gunderson, Nicky Adams, Neal Lyons, Pete Mitheoeffer, and many other headline the star studded riders.The riders generally travel not only nationwide but worldwide showing off their skills at huge mountains and competitions while entertaining you on and off the slopes. We reccomend checking them out no matter how into the sport you are.

What's new with the boards?
There haven't been many new improvment to the skiboard's themselves other than the addition of the LINE WEAPON whose hybrid insert allows the riders to tear up the rails easier (if you need that to grind...you suck). LINE has also come out with the TRANSFER BOOT which is especially made for skiboards. It is a soft yet sturdy boot that is relatively cheap to hard boots on the market. LINE has also come out with the SOLE PLATE. This contraption fits into the space between the bindings of LINE'S FF PRO or FF CAM bindings. It is a 1/4 inch peice of steel that allow the fairly good riders (such as ourselves) to do sole grinds like on rollerblades. LINE's RISER KIT allows larger rubber risers to be placed under the binding to increase leverge for powder skiing.
