Tested: Rossignol Free’ZB 118cm
Rossignol describes their Free’zb 118 as a playful beginner ski which will teach people to ski in three turns, and I would definitely agree with them! But instead of looking at these as a training tool for future long skiers, how to they stack up to today’s skiboard market? Far from what some of us […]
Look Back: US Open
The Skiboard US Open was organized by Skiboard Planet and Hershel Nunez. This event had two iterations, and were the first competitions held in the US since the 2006 Skiboard Triple Challenge, and the last Skiboard competitions ever to be held.

RVL8 Sticky Icky Icky Review
Mellow and playful is how I’d describe the Stick Icky Icky skiboards.

RVL8 Spliff 2016 Review
The newest RVL8 offering, the Spliffs are the result of 4 years of experimentation with rocker skiboards.
