Been skating for a while, but on and off. Snowboarding for 4 years. I live no where near the snow btw.

I am both, but I am pretty much a retired old man when it comes to skating.

F sk8ing in the A... I've been skating over 20 years because I'm an idiot. I'm trying to get a scab to form from last night as I type.

I plan on trying snowboarding this coming winter.. Pretty stoked.

I've skated all my life but suck still. I go in and out. Of course I'm into fixed gear bikes now.

Is snowboarding as hard as everyone is telling me?
I have good balance on a board still. Can ollie just fine in any shoes. Can cruise on a long board.. etc..

Take a lesson and you will be fine. I was fine once I learned toe and heel edge, leafing, the lift (most important), and stopping. It took seriously all of 45 minutes for me. If I didn't have an instructor, I might have taken much longer.

Yeah, I bought one and never ever use it. Once you get over the steep learning curve its sick.

I skateboarded back when the boards still looked like spaceships and hot pink was cool. lol!

Now days I wakeboard more than anything, but I still snowboard and BMX occasionally.
