These are the 82cm
Skywalkers. Their top sheet design is
Identical to the bigger 90cm version. They
also share the nearly same huge side-cut, but these
are 8cm shorter, and you can feel the difference.
When I rated then on the right, I realized that the
characteristics these were judged in were not
complete. The skiboards are short, so they are
slower then the longer ones. They handle
remarkably well, but taking big jumps on them is
foolish. However after one run in the halfpipe
I could not put them down. The small size and
huge side-cut grip the halfpipe walls and spit you
out with ease. They are much better in powder
then I anticipated, but probably a little bit better
the the Mike Nick Pros. I have seen many
little kids on them, but I would not recommend them
to the younger people, simply because the Skywalkers
are very wide at the tips and tails, and this will
lead to a bad fall if the tips overlap.
Overall they are fun and you can do 360 on the
ground at full speed.
