@Jacob Odders while both truks allow the board to lean, only the front turns.  At speed, the back will slide sideways a bit with pressure especially if not sharp.  And yes, the front blad...

@Jeff Vkoeberl  JV, Is the rear blade fixed on that board? It looks like instead of centering the blades on the trucks up front you have the blades extend in front of the truck. Is that what...

@jake s  Jake, I have a modified mountain board with blades and have been using a wind. The biggest challenge I have is stopping. Another common problem is an inability to slide the tail out ...

Jake, the protection Stafford offers is critical.  And right equipment can help too...   If you have skateboarding skills, these tools (see picturs) will work better on ice and snow than...

Eighth consecutive day of good wind on good ice in back yard, wing with iceskates or skiskates.  I rarely bother with a kite on ice anymore, eager for some snow on the now very good ice to get...

Jake,   As I've retired from hockey because of my leg, you can have any or all of my pads to protect you on the ice.   Let me know if you want anything.   Stafford

Though I wasn't up for big pond, probably ended up just as wet in my back yard.  Air over 40 degrees and I was over-dressed, but even worse was the inch or more of water on top of the ice. &nb...

@Ryan Wickens for what it's worth, grant doesn't have much for an ice shelf or floating ice in the way Bradford seemed to.  But sw is no good there.  

Damn, I can check that one off the list. Nearly lost my shins just getting out past the ice field (not to be confused with the ice shelf)... lots of HUGE chunks of ice in the water to get through b...

I opted for a wing and modified mountain board at the swamp.  Did the trick.  Still trying to dial in using the kite with it.  However, was super gusty at the swamp and a kite would ...

Have fun.  Make sure you have a way out.  If a line breaks or whatever, you still have to be able to get back over the ice shelf to land.🤥

Whos down for climbing over the ice shelf at Bradford today? 36 degrees and a 20mph south wind on a Friday! I'm going to check it out around 12:30pm. Post up if you head down!!

Conditions on ice still great, wind has been cooperating!  Get it while you can, it has been nice to get long sessions every day.

Jake, Smokies fish shop. Public parking right in front. I tried skiis and skates today and wing plus skates was by far the best time. A 3m wing and ice skates is a really fun combo. No setup time a...

Got 10 miles in my back yard today with wing.  First few miles with skiskates, but ice much harder with colder air today and edges didn't bite as well.  Switched to ice skates for rest of...

In an effort to try something different on bumpy ice I ran a bunch of screws through the tires of a mountain board and gave it a go on Muskego this morning.... It was comical at best and will need ...

Pewaukee ice continues to be smooth. Skated on it 4+ hours with kids Saturday. Heading out there this week too. Watch for heaves with all this wind. 

Winged in back yard 20 miles today on skiskates.  Have been using ice skates in shorter sessions so far this winter due to some open water near south end of my island, but the skiskates are th...
