Looking For A Gently Used Snowskate

good idea, except snowskates are not common in much of the country unfortunately.

I've wanted one of these for a couple years now and might try to pick up a inexpensive well used snow board and cut it in half long ways along with cutting out more at the tale to form the libtech shape. then attach them back together to keep the edge on all sides. Then attach to skateboard or longboard. Probably easier said then done, but it's not worth it in my particular area to spend much on snow gear.

Would like to give it a try this winter, as I really do not liked being strapped in. New boards are pretty pricey, though. Anyone looking to get rid of one?

If I don't like my CL one I picked up I'll let you know. I don't mind strapped in, but am wondering if it'll work better to kite with with little to no snow.

hey psychotronic whats the snowkiting scene like out there where u live. Any open arears where people can kite. I'm looking to really do some good snowkiting this year. I hate being strapped in to the snowboard also so I did a mod to my board by taking off one of the 2 sets of straps on the bindings.

There is no scene, it's just me landboarding and now (hopefully) snowkiting. I do have a decent spot for snowkiting that I think Kober has tried as well. I'm also working on getting access to other sites as well as there is some farmland up here, as you'd guess.

So, I'm guessing that you removed the back straps from a snowboard? I thought about getting a beater board and doing that, but wondered if you could hold an edge on that size board with no backs on the bindings.

Agreed, but I've found neither locally.
