MonoSkis had considerable success in the 1980s, particularly in France. Indeed tens of thousands of MonoSkis were sold annually in Europe during this period.
At about this time Burton introduced the Snowboard, with the side-cut shaped edge, enabling carving turns.
For some reason, the two manufacturers of Monoskis did not change the shape of their monoskis, which had no side-cut, but instead followed the trend by going into the snowboard business. They had such success with snowboards that they allowed the straight edge monoski to die a natural death and discontinued promoting it.
In the mean time a number of dedicated and impassioned monoskiers continued to enjoy the sport and a few, including Robin Blackburne, sought to develop new monoski technology.
| BLACKBURNE MonoSkis are designed to give excellent performance in carving or Grand Slalom style turns. Smooth transition from one edge to the other on the groomed piste. All models perform outstandingly in the powder or deep snow. |
