whats up with the no feedback punishment?

yo mike i always think your vids are super awesome. you got a style of filming that is very unique. cant wait for the next!....

[yan_montreal]

super cool idea! great tweaks!

one negative thing for me though, 0910 skates are so short! they look too unstable, which ruins a bit the look because guys riding them are constantly punching the air trying to stabilize themselves.

but hey, that's just me! if you love short decks, keep pumping them!

[0910]

yep, we kind of like short decks....   street style!

[puindeep]

Nice Methods!

[mskatesnow]

Yeah !! nice vid

I'm pretty stoked to see a French snowskate scene, c'est vraiment cool les gars continuez vos videos! But I agree on the super short boards, legs look very sketchy because of the stance and it doesn't look as stable as the Ralston, you should make different sizes. Kepp it up!!!!

[0910]

we will not make a longer skate...sorry we are not into longboarding....

(funny...I dont think that skateboarders have a funky stance on their 7.5....and thanks to our size one can finally see riders such a Paul Hackel, Adri Barat and Chris Guyot land 3.6 flips, heelflips and backside flips...please remember the SKATE in SnowSKATE.)

however there are plenty companies outhere making awesome longer boards , i think its great to have choices but lets not compare apples and oranges.... Yes Ralston offer a great stable snowskate!! get it if this what you are looking for and support ROC!! (Rider Owned Companies)

[barontieri]

it has nothing to do with a skateboard size, I'm a skateboarder and wakeskater, snowskating has a ride-feel closer to a snowboard than a skateboard, same with the ollie, I understand short boards for some people due to overall height/weight but riding a snowskate is very different from a skateboard, it's a different sport with roots in both and the stance/comfort is then different company pride shouldn't affect the fact that we are all participating in the snowskate progression and the sport is still in development.
I was just saying that you could propose different sizes but if you think you've found the perfect size then I'm okay with that and I'll stick with my Ralston and Libs... which are far from being the equivalent of a longboard trust me!
anyway like I said I completely support you guys, I'm French too and the Alps are still among the best spots on the planet, I miss it a lot being in Quebec (we have hills with snow here basically).
Keep it up!

Hey barontieri you are welcome to stay and ride with us if you ever come back to the old continent!!!

We are wakeskaters too :

(and you would probably agree that a few years ago most wakeskaters were riding 42 and 44 inches decks....and now they mostly use 39 and 40...)

Libtech and Ralston make awesome product (we have of course used and tested them)...and I think that Ralson is also making a "Mini".....maybe there is a demand for shorter products after all...just saying...
anyway once again , I think it is great that each company is producing something different, we need diversity in this world. One love

I would agree with the need for short boards. alot of people like them. some for turning radius/flip tricks, others because its an easier transition from crappy old smaller boards. Definitely not as stable for jumps and stuff though.

I too found out that I don't like the top deck and sub to be exactly or close to the same size. I'm a pretty tall guy, with that length of a bideck snowskate on the snow just seems a little short for me.

[barontieri]

it would be really nice to go ride with you guys, maybe when I have enough vacations in France, unfortunately I usually go directly to Perpignan and the Pyrennees aren't the same
yes I do completely agree with having different sizes, different types of gears like in skateboard or snowboard so we can all find the right equipment depending on what your ride is.
I think that something is really missing today from the equation... pure snowskate shoes!
