Snakeboard The Ultimate Ride 1994
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Promotional video given out free with early snakeboards c1994 on VHS cassette. Model featured is the original all Zytel snakeboard, the Snakeboard pro had aluminium upper and lower with a wooden deck. Or was that the stiffy?
I had this on vhs and have put this on the net before the tape degrades further and its lost to the ravages of time. I make no claim to copyright or ownership and this has been uploaded for entertainment, historical and educational reasons.
Feel free to comment, Id love to hear from some of the riders in the video and if they are still riding today.
Have you still got your old board? Do you still ride? You know that once you learnt the movement it can never be unlearnt. Feel free to comment, you are part of a movement which still now leaves its mark on the wheeled sports history of humanity :)
Current snakeboards can be found with these nice guys - draganboards.com/

Wow these people must be old right now. Anyone on the comments from the video?
Im not sure, ill pin your post and maybe that might help :) What do you mean old? Probably about the same age as me at 47, thats not old :)
No. 47 is not old at all honestly.
I used to ride this same snakeboard and I'm 36 now.... that's still old?
digitalnirvana I hope not
@@thepoultrypeople im 30 and im old
I miss these days! Can't believe it was that long ago lol I remember when this took off in the UK it was insane... And this was the free video I got with my snakeboard lol defo gonna buy one on ebay now!
I still have mine. Rides like it's still new! I need to find some straps now then I will be able to put it through its paces. I'm almost 40 and will put any kid to shame who tries to ride one these days....I can still rip on one of these bad boys!!😜😏
Wow what a blast from the past. I must have watched this video over 50 times in my youth. I probably still have it somewhere. Thanks for uploading - I really enjoyed watching it. I'll try and find my Natural Disaster VHS and upload it. That was a great video too.
i used to watch it but didnt have a snakeboard ha ha i didnt learn until i was well into my late 20s, ive got a vhs dvd rig here for ripping if you have any trouble, let me know if you do upload it, i only saw it the once i think
I have the box to Natural disaster video but lost the cassette be great if you could upload. My and friends were into I. The 90s and made the Uk snake board championships. My bro could land 900.s
I’ve still got two and still ride. Been 20 years now.
I need to see
Fuk me!!! 19 years ago I remember watching this daily !!
So many times! And having jeans big enough for the VHS and baggy af!
pausing the vhs then runner to the garden to practice step by step :)
I rode my first snakeboard so much I turned those purple wheels into hexagons. 🤣 Had a Stiffy and a Skinner after that. Both equipped with FBI bindings. Then life happened, marriage, kid, job, all that stuff. Just picked up a Dragan classic a few months ago. Feels great to ride again...I'm 42 now and not planning on stopping anytime soon.
Awesome. Yeah I had a couple originals then a stiffy with fbi bindings too. I absolutely loved them
Been in love with the sport since snakeboard brought me on in 95 till now. Streetboarding is still a big part of my life
Brings back good times
Angle Angie are you still riding?
Yup!!! Still got the broken arm too lol
This was so mad to watch I still remember it like it was yesterday.....Best days of my life when I was snakeboarding I watched this video with my mates so many times .....best memories
I brought this in 94 when i was 12 yrs old. I still have the same board now 💪💪😎 Love snakeboarding ❤
You still ride it now?
@MC-dz8be yeah bro. Comes out the Shed every summer
@@DappaTaffa that's dope to hear!
@@MC-dz8be same board same wheels. My snakeboard will out live me at this rate 💪
@@DappaTaffa pass it off to your grandkids if you got any
ive just found a vhs cassete in the collection marked 'snakeboard championships' i will be uploading soon
Just repaired my stiffy with new bushings and some nice soft long board wheels and it feels lovely.
Just carving down a hill puts such a smile on my face and brings back loads of memories.
I own a Stiffy myself and also did exchange the wheels. When I was younger I never realized that you got SOOO much space for big wheels on a Snakeboard. You could easily ride 85mm or even more on it.
Still got mine. Should ride it again. Sure enjoyed riding it when I was about 15-17. These boards also became rare as hell, which surprised me.
Because they sucked and tricks were too limited
@@felip3dable Opinions based on personal experience, which might be a matter of skill, mate. I enjoyed them for riding only. Binding yourself to the decks and doing street - no way! But some did that and were able to do some decent tricks. Comparing them with other stuff, that is more capable for many tricks, is like comparing apples to oranges imo. Anyway, I sold mine, since one bumper broke and a replacement was quite pricey, even if it was a rebuild bumper. Selling such board is quite the profit maker thoug, so my hard feelings were kept to a minimum. Cheers!
Man, I watched this video everyday on the run upto the Christmas of 94
Omg!!! I had this video along with my snakeboard that I bought from ‘cunning stunts’ lol
Do you still have a snakeboard? :)
thepoultrypeople I don’t buy I believe my bro still has his
Im thinking you call round and find that bad boy, then take it out for a spin :)
thepoultrypeople THAT makes a lot of sense! 😊😊
Wow a blast from the past, I loved my snakeboard. Got pretty good on it. Just listed it on Ebay so this link is getting added to the description.
How well did it do and did it go far?
@@thepoultrypeople it sold for £56 can't remember where it went but stayed in the UK
Damn that's brought back some memories, this came with the Snakeboard I bought on VHS around the same time.... Nice Post.....
Go search ebay and buy yourself one, you need one :)
thepoultrypeople haha too fucking old now, I'd break every bone in my body lmao 😂😂
We had a middle school crew in the 90's that bmx'd, skated, bladed - pretty much anything with a wheel (and yes, I unicycled), but only one of them had a snakeboard. He was the only one that snakeboarded. No one in our middle school could ride it but him. I borrowed it for a month or so and was grinding, hopping up curbs and riding this thing 10 miles for fun a week in.
It's physically one of the most taxing things to ride long distances. The board I rode had straps. If you ate shit, you ate SHIT HARD. In my late 30's now and would love to get my hands on one of these things.
I've been looking for this video for years! I still have the VHS in my attic and an addiction to House of Pain!
My best Christmas. Snake board and the VHS lol have you still got your board
Where are these boarders today? A reunion would be funny, doing old stunts 25 yrs later on new tapes.
The sport is still around, it was renamed streetboarding and it has a world champ every year. We still know some of the guys from that video.
Thats my dad lol
Here's one of them! Still got my board!😁😉
@@taff6987 I still got one, too! But I guess it's not safe to ride it anymore 😂 it stays a childhood memory for me... What about you?
@@queenofcopas oh I can still really rip on mine of I wanted to. It's like riding a bike, once u get it your good for life😬the only thing stopping me would be my knees and back unfortunately.🙋🏼♂️
Thanks so much for posting man. I have literally been waiting years for someone to post this. I used to own this video but lost it years ago. You are a legend for uploading it. Brings back memories from when I was 9 years old. I'm 28 now. Can't believe this is almost 20 years old.
In this video these guys are pulling insane tricks without straps... handstand on the board, riding on only the front footplate, that kickflip type thing they guy does.
Goodtimes.
Hey dude the guy In the brown shorts is my dad his name is Micah deapen he’s 47 now and I’m Wyatt deapen ask any questions
I remember watching the video on vcr it came with the board this was like 30 years ago
woah holy nostalgia trip lol i watched this video every day as a kid thinking it looked cool as fuk!! now it looks so lame (apart from that house of pain guy) he just has the flow down unlike the others that just make it look bad when i watch back now,. but i gotta admit the feeling of snakeboarding is still an amazing feeling.
Thanks for uploading
hahaha I would laugh so much if SBUK got back together and produced a collectors edition bluray set of all the old school snakeboard videos, digitally remastered with skywalker sound etc.. lol 8.1 dolby. That would be soo pimp,.. I'd buy them in a second.. lol never gonna happen,, never gonna happen!
this is crazy I still have one still good to ride. thanks for uploading.
You are still one of the cool :) Keep riding my friend!
It's 2018 and I still want a snake board.
Ebay my friend.
I just bought another 😀
The reason why they all are wearing "long" shorts is if you saw the road-burn on them you would say NOPE. Lol I had one... a long time ago.
Lol this was marketed at me n my mates, and we all got one! Snakeboarding was sick, until you hit a tiny pebble and smash your hip into the floor 😂
Lol, the good old days - im still streetboarding its just fun
I had this VHS back in the day, nice stroll down memory lane, i dont have the origional board anymore, i upgraded to the wooden pro board which i still have in the shed. I'm 38 and can still ride it ;)
Still got mine, and i can still use it 🤣
Hi guys, I still have one! From way back in the late 90s! I was a pre-teen when I got it from my parents in Mauritius which is where I grew up. I currently have it with me in South Africa! Still working and fun to ride! Anyone else here has one?
Seriously thanks,, I have the a dvd copy of this film,, ripped from a vhs copy I had years ago,, which I subsequently sold like an idiot... only problem is the dvd copy keeps messing up 3 quarters the way through.. I also have the old snakeboard movies, Totally Committed and Disturbed.. but I'm making sure I keep them,. ohhhhh the sweet memories!!!
I used ti have one,saw Rick Thorne hit it with a Tank in his tv show it was a review for the snakeboard.
hahahaha Simon, sounds like your childhood was identical to mine.. I am also now 28 years old and did all the snakeboarding stuff from about age 9 onwards.. Damn right Good times.. me and my buddy james would watch the snakeboard movies early in the morning to get pumped up for a long day of snakeboarding, trying failing, winning and bailing ahead of us.. such quality childhood days,, amidst snakeboards, pogs, gamesmaster and live and kicking.. hahaha
Hola amigos escribo desde Colombia, tengo mi snake y aun monto en el, la primera vez fue en el año 2000 y hoy 23 años después aun ruedo por ahi, excelente saber quenhay gente que aun monta
This brings back memories, thanks for posting!
Awesome mate. Can't wait to see that... Please upload it ASAP... Really looking forward to it. Cheers
I remember saving 120 pounds in 2s and 1s to get a snakeboard and my god it was hard even move
Yup I was a skater for 15 years when my friend wipped this out one day it took me like 4 months riding it like 3 times a week to even be able to snake one way
back in the day on my comp board I used to have the bungie heel straps, but being a kid at the time,, I never had the balls to take it to town so to speak, though in my mind I was as good as kelly dean and Jay beattey and the rest of the crew from the videos.. lol
I still have my snakeboard and I even have new wheels on it. I have also the original straps
Haha blast from the past this! I think I may of had natural disaster on vhs, I remember some crazy kids being on that saying "shamrock" and the legendary Jimi Hendrix track purple haze! It was a pro I think I had? (Black n silver) one up from the green n black. With toe and heel bungies! Best I could do was 360 off a curb haha. Mine had suspension that never really did anything?
I had natural disaster and hellburg on vhs
Hi I'm not in the video but I am best girl in the uk. There was never enough girls to form a separate girl group so sadly I was always the 'unofficial best girl in the UK' through snakeboard I also went on to have my own segment on Nickelodeon kids tv entitled 'Rush' an extreme sports show. I have many, many great memories with Snakeboard uk the guys Guy, Andrew, Jay, and Matt where brilliant. Such brilliant days.
No, unfortunately girls are under represented in the wheeled sports arena. Are you still involved with any extreme sports now? Do you have any footage of you back in the day on your snakeboard? Anything you can share and put up online that helps with filling out the history is always a good thing.
@@thepoultrypeople ahh thank you for the supportive words. Yes I often felt I had to fight for my place there at the skate parks literally you could hear a pin drop as I strapped onto my board. I only wish we had mobiles then. Sadly we didn't think about it then but documenting things now is so awesome. Even my stint on Nick id have to ask the archive department. We had a very old vhs player at home and I didnt know how to set it up to a specific time and while I was on live tv my mum didn't know how to record, my friends didn't have cable either! I have some photos of me riding street at the southbank!
Check out the music at 9:36 Does anyone know the title and the artist? Many thanks.
So cool!
Hatte ich damals auch. Total Geil die Dinger
I used to have one in middle school :)
+perdedoronline once you leanr you never forget, i think you should spend a few bucks and get one off ebay ;) ive still got all mine, 5 i think :)
yeah, i do wanna buy one. :)
paid $30 for the last one! brand new, hotwheels, theres a load in the uk at the moment
oh, i live in the U.S.
keep your eye on ebay is all i can suggest, its where i got the last one from, but i order shit from the states all the time, i even sent a fucking chair to nova scotia the other day ;)
I still love mine, I used to go downhill with it together with the longboarders even toought it wasn't even a long snake board(original). But the last years it has been kept in a cardboardbox due to a bearing failure in the the center under the left foot. Did people quite with it due to a PR failure?
+dozeyy last time i went downhill i hit a speed ramp and bailed :) bearings you can buy for about £2! take the old one out and measure it, so many online bearing companies, a PR failure maybe coupled with a steep learning curve that could take weeks to master depending on the individual and the huge decline that we saw in skateboarding, also maybe people got old, snakeboard is now rebadged as streetboard and they still have annual championships, all the best m8
+thepoultrypeople yup took me about a week to nail the movement, tricks were so hard as you had to land perfectly parallel everytime. So many bails!
I still have mine, it's in perfect working order except for rust on the straps. 😀✌️
np, i did have some video from the national streetboard event that was in the Boneyard in Stockport I think in 200?, its on either video or dv tape somewhere, ill have a look for it
Met a 50 year old guy in the park today with a beat up snake board. The pro version. Even had wooden footplates.
I stopped. He said have a go. I was dressed in office attire.
I declined also due to fact I not bee n on one for 30 years.
I phoned my old mum... she only kept my snake board in the loft
Guess what.... I have a mid life crisis coming on.🙂
HAH Dave man! Lovely to have met you mate! isnt your mum an absolute gem :) seriously, what a nice touch shes done there with one of your childhood toys. Give me a shout when your taking it down the park and ill try and get over for a jam :)
@@thepoultrypeople picked up the board last night. Even had the full straps on. Looks clean as hell.
One problem though. I stood on the board and anything made of rubber exploded into pieces. Not too sure what you call them but I think you call them rubber bushes. Either way I'm going to have to see if I can improvise some way of fixing it.
The wheels are also perishing but they are original and still have snake board written on them lol. I will update you haha
@@davefool6815 I Am also trying to find a fix for my disintegrated bushings. Did you solve the problem of finding a suitable replacement?
@@grb1969 I actually gave up. It's sitting in a box in the loft. Sad but I can't find any. It's sunny out and I was hoping to have it fixed
I don't have natural disasters but I did always want it as a kid.. I asked my dad to buy it for me once when I went to a Snakeboard competition in Salisbury one year, but since I was a kid and on the box it said, 'contains explicit lyrics' my dad said no.. lol,, I don't have my original comp snakeboardmm wish I kept it,, but I do have 2 or 3 of the newer versions,, the Skinner, and the Stiffy,, pretty cool but I'd trade them back for an original comp, pro or pro freestyle board any day...
Also used to watch this vid all the time. Still got my Snakeboard but at 36 it hurts a lot more when I fall than it did at 14! Anyone know where to find what the tunes were on this video???
You can find Totally Committed and Disturbed on RUclips already.
Does anyone have the UK vid "Natural Disasters"?
I still ride my snakeboard
Nice, which model? have you tried freeline/drift skates?
@@thepoultrypeople I use the Stiffy pro free style. There is a video on my channel of me using it. It's like one of the first uploads I made.
I remember I got this on a VHS tape that came in the box with my first snakeboard when I was 13. I haven't seen this video for 25 years!
And I just got my badboy comp board with the straps back out and I'm getting confident again on it. I probably look like a nob on it at my age but I couldn't give a shit because I'm having too much fun tbh.
Same. It was my best Christmas lol. I still have my snake board and the VHS
Because of you I'm going to get back on mine
@@omlet1231 Do it man. Ive been back on mine fir the last 5 simmers bow and I've even bought a load more different snakeboards models that people were selling. I love it.
Omg this reminds me of my childhood! Where can I buy one now? I can’t seem to find it
Ebay is a good place to find an old board if youre looking for an original Snakeboard brand, If you search also on the web for PivoBoard and streetboard you can find Dimension and a few others selling the latest offerings.
9:36 Does anyone know the title and the artist? Many thanks.
I'm trying to find all the old snakeboard videos around the time of hellburger, natural disaster etc , does anyone remember any names ?, I'm looking for one in particular that had alot of downhill skating in it but can't remember the name , any ideas ?
On and off , currently have the original pro freestyle wooden plates
I think i might have a spare pair as well, plus some trucks I think, still got a Stiffy and Skinner plus a viper, oh and I bought one of the hotwheels streetboards the other week, theyre on ebay for less than £20, worth that for the wheels....
+thepoultrypeople do you know which one I have, I feel like it had a slightly suggestive name. The suspension is hard plastic and the main crossbar is brown?
sounds like the stiffy mate, wooden plates and metal trucks? if you upload a pic to google+ be able to tell you for sure
+thepoultrypeople plastic, deffo the stiffy lol. I'll put a quick vid up.
+bigfil1981 Ahh, actually it's a browser, stiffy was what I wanted but no where sold them in Devon.
Yeah that was the one man,, I even have about an hours video footage that my dad filmed on the day somewhere around the house. Should be able to dig it out if you're interested.. lol. Man, I'm well jealous your snakeboard collection, I think I only have 2 boards at the moment,, if you have a spare competition board and fancy selling it,, I'll happily take it off your hands.. I also have a pair of straps in my garage which I never got round to fixing on either of my new boards.
Can anyone remember another Snakeboard video back in the 90's?
Had proper videos parts from pros like Ingo/Kelly Dean, with music from Voodoo Glow Skulls etc.
Trying to find it but can't.
Michael... Was that competition in Salisbury on May 7th 1995/96 in the main car park in Salisbury? If it was then I was also there man!! That's too funny. It is one of my best memories from when I was about 10/11. I also had a comp board at the time. Then got a pro, then pro freestyle, then skinner. I don't have any of my original boards but I do collect them now and I own 11 or 12 boards in total. I have all the really old ones... even with the pink "S" and the one with the green "S".
Nice one !
Thanks for creating the snakeboard you have made a lot of people enjoy 1000’s of unique moments.True unsung hero!
no problem, i also had this on VHS and then transferred it to DVD, god knows where the vhs cassette is, would you be able to upload the snakeboard movies you have? or would you be able to send them to me and I could do it and then return them? and I hope youve still got your snakeboards :)
Michael... Any chance you could upload the vid of Salisbury?
Part number 2, okay?
Brings back memories of vert madness and bruises
Also used to watch this daily, anyone know the name of the tune at 9.35??
Just asked the same question. :)
"Easy, I'm D, from Snakeboard. I like boogie boarding...................and the House of Pain"
i had the pro freestyle too
Its not about beating it, its about the ride. You still rolling?
Just found one of these at a thrift store
what is this record corn background? :D
my dads is in this vid pretty cool
Long shot!... Does anyone know the name of the tune at 9.30?? I've literally wanted it since 1994!
Hey Dave, ive searched it through shazam and google by sampling it and ive found some close hits but i just cant find the original, if you do find it can you come back and update?
Any one know where I can get hold of snake boards now a days? The rubber shocks on mine are completely gone.
matt ford you talking about the rubber shocks on the skinner and the stiffy?
thepoultrypeople yes I am
matt ford might be your lucky day but dont get your hopes too up, ill need to go and have a dig in the manshed but i seem to remember a bag of bits/trucks floating around with them
thepoultrypeople mate you might just be a life saver! I was starting to think I was going to have to give up the snake board!
matt ford did you watch the video from the top of the mancave m8 ;)
more early 90s snakeboard and streetboard videos on my new channel, thanks for watching!
Hahaha this is on youtube
Does anybody know where i can get a snakeboard?
It'll have to be ebay for the original boards. For a modern board look up Dragan Boards. They have a youtube channel.
it didnt stick i guess
Holy shit
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
