[caption id="attachment_140" align="alignleft" width="402" caption="Boardslide at the X games"][/caption] I got a call from Spico and Shag (at the time both were working at Lib Tech) asking if I wanted to drive with them in a truck camper from Washington to Colorado for the snowskate portion of the X games. Having been to the X Games in 2003 I had known what I would be in for; the 'snowskate park' at the X Games is a small, fenced off, petting zoo-esque, sideshow that provides a very poor perspective on snowskating to passers by. I made a bi-deck with low trucks and a...

I had a few designs in my head and on paper for a longer sub but the determining factor was a specific jump line at my old local ski hill; it was a line of tables with an icy corner at the bottom you had to take at mach speed that always put me on my ass.

My first mold was made in junior high shop class but I didn't get a ridable board out of it until 2001.

A small bideck with a 33" top, 27" sub with no edges, a wide sub and short trucks; it was made for snowskate parks/frozen skateparks, the focus was skate style tricks but still enough leverage to maintain control between hits. The board worked great for what it was made for but was too condition specific, the top deck nose/tail weren't steep enough for my liking and the sub was too short and compromised speed.
