Is this closer to wakeboarding than snowboarding?

My friend has a piece of land that is a few acres and flat. His dad has a four wheeler thats 600cc. Tomorrow we're gonna go build some rails and a few kickers. We have a ski rope as well and we're gonna get pulled behind the four wheeler on the snowboard. Since we're using a rope and rope physics would this be better to improve my wakeboarding rather than just plain snowboarding in the off season?

IrishJigga, make sure you bring a camera so we can all see when you break your leg. Dumb idea if you ask me. Fun yes, but stupid.

Ive thought about this.. its not such a bad idea until you added the rails, wear a helmet and try to be safe, and yes definately make a video because i have thought of this before..

I would think it would become a mixture of both. Sounds like a lot of fun though. I saw some movie preview that had some snowboarders being pulled by a train and they were throwing wake looking tricks. Anyone know what movie that was. I only saw the previews like once?

I don't know if it will help your wakeboarding more or not.

I think, however, that as long as you don't approach it "jackass style", you should be alright. It doesn't really sound any more dangerous than regular snowboarding as long as you are responsible about it.

gvw686, true enough but I'm thinking once the rails come into play it gets a bit iffy.

It doesn't work as good as you would think. Me and my friends tried it on acres of flat sand and it was really hard to keep the front end of the board up. It was fun, but hurt when we fell.

i love snowboarding behind a 4wheeler i did it the past weekend on our first snow. made a 5 foot jump and hit it doing about 30 down the driveway. it's awesome
its not too close to wakeboarding but still very very fun

Done it behind motocross bikes and snowmobiles no big deal just make sure you have a good driver.
