I want to try skiing but it looks a little gay.

 

its all about snow blades

 

teh ultimate gayh:

 

It is.

Used to ski. Switched to board (regular foot). No comparison. Snowboarding hands down winner.

From what I've been told (I have never gone skiing)....Skiing is easier. On a snowboard you're pretty much have both feet strapped down so its harder to manuever (sp?) than being on ski's where both feet are independent.

 

in terms of difficulty, i ski and snowboard, i say they both have their different training advantages and difficulties for starting. also your background in other sports plays a big role in which is initially easier for you to learn...ie skateboarding and wakeboarding help alot when it comes to snowboarding, you already understand the concepts of leaning turns

Actually. "On my ass" would be more appropriate. Still learning. h:

 

i hope you're not serious

:werd: if you've played hockey, or know how to skate / rollerblade, skiing isnt that hard to pick up, a lot of the same concepts

 

I played football and got the hang of snow boarding pretty quick. I think the staying low helped a lot

I was only going straight though, only been once :hs:

 

Regular here, and go away all you silly two plankers :fawk:
