LETTER FROM THE EDITORTHE FIRST SKATEBOARD I EVER SAw wAS A

TONY HAwK. wELL, THAT’S NOT TRUE, I HAD ALREADY SEEN THE NASH “DOG

CHEESE” AND “EXECUTIONER” AND A FEw VARIFLEX BOARDS. NONE OF

THESE BOARDS REALLY COUNT-ED, AND THEY SEEMED LIKE

USELESS TOYS.

THEN I SAw THE TONY HAwK.

MY NEIGHBOR, wHO wAS FROM ARIzONA

HAD BOUGHT ONE AT THE VANS OUTLET. HE HAD A

wHOLE ROLL OF GRIP TAPE AND wOULD jUST wRAP IT AROUND THE BOARD.

THE TONY HAwK wAS THE FIRST REAL SKATEBOARD I SAw. A

REAL STREET MACHINE wITH BONES 3S AND INDY’S. THE TONY

HAwK wAS TOUGHER THAN I COULD SKATE AND AS TOUGH AS I wANTED TO

SKATE. TONY’S “ONE HANDED HAND-STAND” IN THE BOwL REALLY BOGGLED

MY MIND. THIS SKATEBOARD, THE TONY HAwK, wAS MADE TO DO THINGS I COULD

BARELY IMAGINE. IT wAS FASCINATING.

SNOSKATING IS AT THAT PIVOTAL PHASE RIGHT NOw. MANY OF THE COMMERCIALLY

AVAILABLE BOARDS ARE USELESS TOYS, A FEw ARE FUNCTIONING

ALL MOUNTAIN MACHINES. THE NEw DESIGNS

ARE GROUND- BREAK-

ING. FINALLY SNOSKATES ARE AVAIL-

ABLE THAT ARE MADE TO SKATE TOUGHER THAN YOU DO AND AS TOUGH

AS YOU wANT TO. THESE BOARDS ARE MADE TO DO THINGS THAT EVEN TwO YEARS AGO MOST OF US COULD

BARELY IMAGINE. IT IS STILL FASCINATING.-LEAVITT

No matter what your skill level you will have a better time in snow if you are warm and dry. As

a Starfish correspondent I attended the Snow Sports Trade Show in Las Vegas and personally inspected nearly every garment of outerwear available this sea-son. There are literally hundreds of companies offering products that will keep you dry in even the most drastic of arctic settings.

Fortunately for snoskaters we seldom find ourselves in drastic alpine settings. Snoskaters don’t need

thousand dollar parkas and expedition pants that make you look like MC “MFM” Hammer. Snoskaters just need to stay somewhat warm and dry. After a thorough review of all of the new outerwear available I have settled on these three as “must have products” for the coming season...

Feet are one of the most important things to keep dry. Our first two “must have products” are seal-

ants for your shoes. It does not matter what kind of snoskate shoes you wear, coat them in this stuff like you are decorating a cake. Coat the laces and the tongue, fill in all the little holes. This should keep your feet dry. For extended sessions put plastic bags over your socks before inserting them into your shoes.

*Pants- regular

jeans from a second hand store.

*Shoes- Vans coated in Sno-Seal and Nikwax.

*Jacket-pretty shitty, made water proof by Kiwi for about $5.95.

*Gloves- Joey Mcguire at Revolution finally gave him a pair.

*Nobody knows “What’s Hot” for next season like Blair and Chris.

what’s Hot for 2007?

TOP 3 “MUST HAVE”OUTERwEAR PRODUCTS FOR 06-07

By Jack Hitchcock

Our next “must have product” for this year is KIWI Canp Dry, most snowboard shops don’t

carry it but hunting stores and Army Navy Surplus

stores do. Don’t mess around, get yourself the heavy duty and spray every inch of every bit

of gear you own (except your goggles). Your gear will almost instantly be-come expedition weight

outerwear.

BOARDSBY jACK HiTCHCOCK

For this year’s Buyer’s Guide STARFiSH contacted the world’s most elite snoskate companies, and asked them to supply our readers with what’s

hot for 07. The format was simple, each of the companies were asked to provide the same basic information... photos, descriptions, dimensions, avail-ability, special powers thier product might have, etc. These responses were then processed, censored, altered and reformatted by STARFiSH to bring you

this totally biased board review.

Chiller decks are made by Mark Edmundson in Sand Point Idaho.

13x32 inch 7 ply full concave boards mount on top of any snowboard. Blank kits are available for $120 complete boards start at $200.

Mark specializes in custom boards and is more than willing to make

you whatever design you feel you need. These boards will go pretty much anywhere a snowboard will. For proof check out Mark ripping Idaho tree pow-der in the Starfish Substandard Snoskate Commercial.

Circuit Snowskates 2007www.circuit-skates.com

All Circuit snow skates are hand made in Canada. The skate decks have a maple and fiberglass laminated core topped off with a fiberglass top and bottom sheet which provides the skate deck with superior tension and compression. The decks are laminated and sealed using marine resins so the decks are meant for use in the snow, all sub decks have a high density polyethylene base, full wrap fiberglass top sheet and a maple core which gives a uniform flex for a predictable ride.

BoomstickDescription: A narrow truck base, metal edges and a sub-deck with a uniform flex means more effective

edge on the “Boomstick” which allows you to carve hard down anything and stay in control. The 2” trucks allow you to ride steeps you only thought were possible while strapped in. Perfect for riding mountains, big tables, boarder cross courses or anything else you throw at it. It has a long sub deck for smoother landings off big tables, and more effective edge for a smoother ride.

Color: Brown with white logoSize: Skate deck: 9” X 40.25”Sub-Deck: 6” X 40.75Price: $275 CAD

watch out for this crew of groms. The next big thing in snoskate design might come out of their parent’s ga-rage. we just hope they don’t get grounded first.

Page 19: Vol 3 Issue 1

RenegadeDescription: The “Renegade” is an all around board that you can take up the lifts and shred the mountain with but still hang out at the snoskate park or the iced over skate park and do all your favorite skateboard tricks. Skateboard sized with a wide sub deck and 1.5” trucks it will allow you to cruise the mountain and ollie everything your heart desires.

Color: Green with white logo Size: Skate deck: 9” X 33.5”Sub-Deck: 6” X 32.25”Price: $225 CAD

Co-PilotDescription: With no edges and a shorter sub deck the “Co-Pilot” has a more skateboard style feel and is the perfect deck for skateboard style tricks in the city or in the snoskate park. No edges means that you can grind logs or anything you dream of, and it has a mellow side cut so you can carve to the next feature and still maintain control on hills, 1.5” trucks offer amazing pop and the short sub deck is for stable and more skateboard like ollies. The perfect deck for riding frozen skate parks, snoskate parks, or your favorite street spot.

Color: Yellow with black logoSize: Skate deck: 9” X 33.5”Sub-Deck: 6.25” X 29”Price: $175 CAD

HURLBUT #3 IN THE wORLD!!

Page 20: Vol 3 Issue 1

The Seattle based company Mervin Manufac-turing (Gnu, Lib Tech, Roxy) has been turn-

ing out high-end snowboards, skis and skateboards for over a quarter of a century. Through years of fearless experimentation these guys wrote the book on quality snowboard construction. It is no surprise that Mervin pro duces the best high-end all mountain snoskates. These high quality boards cost a little more to make and therefore retail for a higher price. You get what you pay for and the result is a board that out performs the others. Is it worth the extra money to get Magnatraction? Yes, definitely.

Michigan 33” Great set up for the “mini shreds” retails for $299. If you are under 12 you should

demand one for Christmas.

Danny Kass 33” Wide Ski. If Danny was ten years old, 4 feet tall and weighed 75 lbs. this

would be the board he would want. Retails for $319

Toronto 38” All mountain ripper. This thing kicks ass. Retails for $319

Ohio 46”. This thing kicks a ton of ass. Clarke Kent Hurlbut #3 in the world swears by his trusty

Ohio. He is #3 in the World, you should listen to him. Retails for $319.

Mervin will be offering one board under the Lib Tech label. These boards are the highest of

high-end snoskates and retail for $329. The set up is about 42” long with deep concave, a double kicked tail and magnatraction. When you ride one you will know right away where the extra money went. It went to performance, control and pop. Lib sent three photos of this baby, two of the board and one of Jake’s hand. The Photo of Jake’s hand clearly displays the awesome cutting power of magnatraction. Sorry for the blurry photo it was taken with a cell phone camera.

These are not snoskates they are Noboards. Cholo and his crew up in Vancouver

BC offer their Noboard stomp pad as an alternative to snoskating. In the event that you and your friends

rent a helicopter for the weekend and fly into the B.C. back country your normal snoskate will just not cut it.

The Noboard stomp pad attaches to any snowboard. A fish design is recommended because you are only going to use this

thing in powder. Cholo retails the set-up on his web page for 150 Canadian. At that price it is worth checking out.

These things seem to work in really good snow. We contacted Cholo about getting some footage for the Substandard Starfish Commercial

and what he sent was a mini DV labeled “Binding-Less In The West”. The Mini DV contained almost an hour of these guys

totally shredding phenomenal BC powder runs. 3,000 foot powder faces? Huge one footers? Ava-

lanches? For proof check out the Starfish Substandard Commercial and buy

the feature film “What’s Next?”

All of the companies featured in this board review were asked to provide information about their products. STARFiSH asked them for

photos of there products, prices and availability of those products. Only Jordan (Circuit) and Paul Elkins (Fuse) provided any text. This was Paul’s response:

“Bugs are pretty annoying. sure they’re small, But they make their presence known. swing wildly at the air or even take off running and these little Bastards

won’t go away. they violate your space with incessant Buzzing. they Bite, sting, or suck exposed flesh

indiscriminately. it may not kill you, But it ain’t nice. you can swat a few But there will always Be more. when insects attack we are at their mercy. with a

small loss of dignity and mayBe a few welts, it’s Best to just move on. however Begrudged, these prickly

little creatures cannot Be denied.”

Am I the only one baffled by this response? What the hell does that mean? Does Paul have Alzheimer’s?

Anyway this is what we know about Fuse Snows-kates. They pop like a skateboard, they grind like

a skateboard they pretty much are a skateboard, with little skis attached to the trucks. Two companies make this four plank design. One of these designs works and the other one is not the one we are talking about.

Fuse offers a 4x4 adapter kit for $80. This can turn any skateboard into a snoskate.

Fuse also offers a complete set-up featuring a 7 7/8” Plan B deck. This complete board is known as the “Giant Cricket” and retails for $180.

Both of these designs are available through the CCS Catalog.

Page 26: Vol 3 Issue 1

T his company is new to me. Probably because they are

from England. Apparently in England snoskating is being called snow-surfing. These boards are made to perform more like a surf-board than a skate or snowboard. Bare Foots “big pro” Skindog has even allowed people to film him

running up to the nose and hanging ten. wow, Skin-dog that was a pretty hot surfing move in 1955.

B are Foot also sent us a promo video. I looks like the boards work pretty well for carving on in-

termediate, groomed runs. The air shots where some-what questionable (six angles of one air none of which included the landing) and flip tricks were non-existent. Before criticizing these guys too much it is important to remember that historically the British have been some what “challenged” at alpine sports. There is no doubt that these boards would perform much better if operated by somebody like Geoff Rowley or jake. The video shows more “operator” errors than “design errors”. The boards appear solid.

Bare Foot offers two set-ups. The first is the Multi. It attaches to any ski and retails for £199. The sec-ond is the Q-R complete set-up and it retails for £399. Convert the £ to $ and you get the most expensive snoskate available.

Well let’s get down to the nitty-gritty

of snoskate trucks. Mr. Hitchcock’s been calling me and asking when he’s going to get his truck article, well my six month bender is coming to an end and I finally drank myself through the little block I was having. I got two words for ya, supply and demand. If people aren’t gonna unstrap and start snoskating, then there’s no real demand for supply. Now that mountains from all over are starting to allow snoskates on the chairs, we should start to see more snoskates in lift lines. Once that happens more trucks are gonna

start breaking, creating a demand for something better.

Right now nothing is much different than it has been, (read Trucks article, issue #1 vol. #2 Fall 2005) just a bunch of homemade trucks and hockey-pucks. There is some innovation going on though, there are two part trucks by Rocker Trucks that pivot on an axle giving skates more snap and pop, and I hear Bent Metal may be coming out with something a little taller and stronger for all mountain ripping. If all else fails you can still make your own or ride a Fuse and rock regular skate trucks. So go hang up your snowboard, water-proof your shoes and wax your snoskate, winter is just around the corner. A lot of bad-ass shit went down last year, dudes were killing it all over the map. Hopefully this winter there will be more snoskaters in the lift lines and pretty soon we’ll really start seeing some progression in technology, as well as progression in snoskate skills. If your local mountain doesn’t allow snoskates on the chairs, encourage them to call Booth Creek Resorts or just put on a leash and show ‘em what’s up. Once your ski patrols sees you ripping full runs they’ll get the picture.

Jennifer, STARFiSH’S legendary “hawaiian crack whore correspondent” sent me this package from the islands. It was packaged in coffee and I was skeptical at first. Then Jennifer pointed out what should have been as obvious as Magnatraction. After a long day on the slopes who really wants to feel all beat-up and tired?To test these products I snoskated for about 15 hours straight. Then I ate a few “Crack Sandwiches” To my surprise I felt alert and ready to go out and party almost instantly! I was even more surprised when this feeling lasted for the next three days. Maybe Jenni-fer was right. Maybe I was “sleeping away my life”. Either way “Crack Sandwiches” are definitely a great way to utilize your precious weekend moments. Jack Hitchcock

LEASHES

There are currently two companies produc-

ing snoskate leashes. Sick Dog, available at Revolu-tion Snoskate Shop, and FS available through Snowskate.ca. The CEO of sick dog was supposed to write this article. At the last minute he backed

out. When asked for a comment he stated that he used to think leashes were cool but that now he felt they just got in his way. That CEO is obviously an idiot. Wear a leash. (Well at least wear one at the resort.)

FS Xtreme GripDescription: Rubber with steel studs imbedded around the outside and soft foam in the middle so you have the

same grip in all kinds of snow.Size: One size fits all

Price: $36 CAD

FS Foam GripDescription: Soft foam so your feet sink in allowing for better board feel, and a freezing temperature of -55 degrees Celsius keeps it grippy in the coldest

conditions.Size: 34” X 10”, 39” X 10”, 42” X 10”

Price: $13, $15, $17 CAD

Apparently there is only one company in the world making snoskate grip tape. That company is FS

GRIP and they are from Canada.

Legend in his own mind “Spicoli” Mark Montgom-

ery has separated from Mervin Manufacturing and is determined to launch his own snoskate compa-ny. The company is called: M.M.I. (Me Myself and I). Spicoli could potentially make himself eight dif-ferent pro models by early 2008. STARFiSH predicts that these might be the best skates ever made. A self performed rap song may be on the way.

The Florida Powder Com-pany, centered in Califor-

nia is suffering a legal battle. Apparently they are suing a popular Northwest ski resort for wrongfully using photos taken at the private 2,000 acre Florida Powder Mountain Lab.

Competition was tight but Rob Skala of Renton, Washington nar-

rowly beat Jacob Narawicz of Rhode

Island and became STARFiSH’S first paid subscriber.

North Coast Truck continues to spend more on tattoos

and flair than they do on prod-uct development.

This is MARKO.MARKO lives in Espoo,

Finland.MARKO knows “SNOSKATING

IS wICKED!”

Fuse Snowskate Company continues to rule the mid

west by providing the most “skateboard like” experi-ence. Anyone who read issue #4 would notice that Andrew Burgman’s (the dude who slide the C-Rail) name is missing from the credits of the Sub-standard Starfish Commercial. Sorry Andrew.

Arizona’s premier snoskate company,

Railz, continues to suck. However, they are smart enough not to respond

to Hitchcock’s hate mail and therefore we really have nothing to say.

Rocker Trucks is finally offering products to the public through

REVOLUTION Snoskate Shop and STARFISHSNOSKATE.COM.

There is another legitimate snoskate company lo-cated somewhere in California known as Ralston.

These guys are the real deal but we don’t have anything to prove it accept stickers and a few photos of Dan.

BUY the New Standard Movie “Draw the Line” and you

can see the STARFiSH Snoskate Commercial in the bonus section.

Sick Dog leashes will be releasing the “mogul only” Terry Parker “Proser model” this fall. Available at

Revolution Snoskate Shop.

Next?” Available through Mervin. com and STARFiSH

Famous poser Terry Parker convinced us to list him instead of his girlfriend JC

as one of the filmers for the STARFISH Com-mercial. Sorry JC.

For the 06/07 winter Mervin Manu-facturing will be offering three pro

models the: Danny Kass Snowskate, Jaime Lynne Snowboard and the Matt Cummins Snowboard. These designs are unique in that none of the alleged riders actually use them.

Bare Foot, from England has recently become the newest company claiming

to have invented binding-less riding. The old chaps have decided to call it “snow-surf-ing” instead of “snoskating” Bare Foot Pro rider Skindog may be the biggest British Alpine Sports phenomena since “Eddy the Eagle” who dominated the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo
