Snake Board is out of business now but those are exactly the same thing. A guy that used to ride my ramp a few years back used to be pro for them like 10 years ago in the mid 90's.

I tried to ride his but it is like trying to ride a wet noodle and they are definitely nothing like snowboarding.

I put some bindings on my old skateboard over the summer, pretty fun. It actually helped me get better at ollies. Super fun down hills and stuff, I also was riding some ramps, awesome stuff, same feeling as snowboarding. You can even get your powerslide on.

they're not exactly the same... snakeboards had two platforms connected by a metal/plastic rail thing in the middle, and both sides pivoted.

streetboards are solid decks with bindings, and only the trucks pivot.

=P

Snakeboard was a brand of street board not something different. The old streetboards made by Snakeboard had the metal rail connecting them but the new street boards made by other companies replaced the metal rail with a wooden center deck while still keeping the same pivoting ends and trucks. They are both still a 3 piece board with 2 pivot points over the trucks.

They work and ride exactly the same because they are the same, they just look a little different that is all.

Umm... I never said those were Snake Boards in the video so you must be winning an argument with yourself.

Saying a SnakeBoard brand streetboard is not a streetboard is like saying a Micro brand scooter is not a scooter. Just because it is not identical to a Razor does not mean it is still not a scooter. Get my drift?




P.S. - If there were an argument here I would definitely be winning.
