i want to try it...... i'm not sure if it would slide on the snow or not, but maybe with a pbt material it would actuallly work....

i've been thinking about this for a while now, how crazy would that be to see a bs smith down a 40 stair on a snowboard???

if you've got ideas on how to make this work i could possibly try it when i go to a-basin on june 1st Shocked

Use an extra snowboard, no bindings.. that somehow stays snug(some type of sockets) that are in the same spot as your bumps... so when you are coming up to the rail it looks like a bi level.. but when you pop off the bottom board stays on the ground and you backsmith away from it.

lolz.

remote bumps. pop off the snow push a little remote button, bumps come out, grind, let go of button bumps recess back into board, ride away

^^ good ideas Smash

but not really practical Smile

what if i cut pieces of an old snowboard and made really small c's and mounted it on the bottom.....sorta like mini skis

I'm seriously considering going to A-basin the weekend they close... I know the conditions will suck, but how fun of a time is it in the summer? Anyone know?

senorbueno, i think riding in slushy snow is one of the better conditions, its really soft so you cant really get hurt

you should go Wink

Gnarly Dancer 42, yeah I might... I only got 3 days in this year... 3 days!!!! I can count that on one hand! That sucks!

I don't normally spend any time in the park... just the steeper more technical runs... maybe this will be a good enough excuse to spend some time goofing around in the park

Gnarly Dancer 42, That's rad.. are they in the front or back? Nice work thinking out side the box.

I put skate trucks with wheels on an old deck years ago and used it longboarding. That was alot of fun cause of the flex in the board.

you're not really locking in on smiths with those things. Smiths/feebles on a snowboard are retarded. I'd explore another arena.

Anyway, I think the nubs should be like way bigger.
