Board Overview...

"Written by Mark Requena"

With the sport growing as fast as it is, theres a huge demand for new boards, with lot of help from pro riders, five new boards have been put into development and are coming out shortly, they're all real fresh & enhance the complete outlook of the snakeboard, kits will be available for freestyle riders, these boards can be customised & upgraded, the comp & pro have both been scrapped and are no longer being made....

The Stiffy's a great board, it's the board i'm riding at the moment, this boards simular to the Loadie, but with wooden foot plates, it comes with a extra long bar which is great for slides, it has rounded trucks which make it good for grinds, this is probably the sturdiest board, it's size & weight are great for landing, providing you can get off the ground!, again, this board is only suitable for more advanced riders...

UK COST: £85 (ex vat)

The Browser replaces the Comp board, still an entry board, but with nicer graphics, and built a little better, it has no suspension, note that this board is only suitable for beginners, and younger riders, if your planning on ramp riding, take a look at another board, don't be fooled by it's looks...

UK COST: £45 - (ex vat)

The Skinner seems to be a favorite, this is the board that most pro riders seem to be riding, it's great for everything, especially street, it's really light which makes it great for airs, and has rounded trucks which make also it great for grinding, this board is the all rounder, great for everything!

UK COST: £85 (ex vat)

The Spludge isn't available yet, but will be out shortly, this is the ramp board, it has unique slick trucks that look great for grinding, it has reallly low suspension, and strong snowboard type footplates, & instead of straps, this board uses bindings, this board is pretty cool, but only good for vert, mini & midi ramp, definately not for street and again, for experienced riders!

UK COST: N/A

This board still hasn't been released yet, but is due out shortly, simular to the Stiffy, it has extra long nylon foot plates, and an extra long bar, great for taller, and more experienced riders... This board also uses a more advanced foot strap system, again, it has rounded trucks which are good for grinding, it's size make's it better for landing, but harder to get air...

UK COST: N/A
