350 bucks for the setup or 450 if you want the slasher wheels as well. Got it on http://www.iboardaustralia.com/ and took it out for the first ride yesterday. There are definitely similarities with snowboarding but I certainly couldn't just jump on it and rip down a hill. I was out for a couple of hours and started to get a few slides and linked turns but just when I thought I had it I ate pavement. To be honest I remember how irritating it was learning snowboarding and that is now the thing I look forward to all year round so I'm definitely going to give it a bit of time. I'd be happy to give you a lend if you fancied a shot. Just hope this shitty rain stops coming at the weekend!

i have been riding one for ages jason, they are not that good specially in melb as all our hills are pretty slow your best off with a longboard or a techslideboard
