Snowskate guide - Is the wood worth it?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 січ 2025
- Last year, I had the plastic snowskate from Ambition, and I had some fun, but there were a lot of tricks that couldn't be done on it. This year, I upgraded to a wood team board... which is still a step below the pro boards. Whoops. Is it worth it though? Can I kickflip this thing? Let's find out.

Thank you so much!!
You gotta wax that thing like you’re waxing a snowboard. It’s easy and ohhh boy you’ll see a big difference.
That’s what I was thinking. Learning to wax is super easy
What’s the difference between
The snow isn't frictionless, that's why the board got torn up. @@claysoggyfries
@@claysoggyfries even the smoothest surfaces still rub and cause friction and depending on material sometimes it’s worse. Even his older beat up board could be waxed and feel like new. When it comes to riding anything in the snow a little bit of wax goes a long way. 👍✌️
the ambition boards dont hold wax
one note is the colder the better, wet snow that is closer to melting is waay harder-it slows the board and sticks to it, but drier snow still rides better the colder it is as well 🤔
Yeah, the icier it gets, the easier. These snowskates are not snowboards for sure. Soft snow is a no-go most of the time.
Hey radrat, I know this video is from last year but keep at it man. Snowskating is twice as hard as normal skating, but the biggest challenge is timing. They don’t flip like a normal board, everything is later. Feels like slow motion. But after a season of trying it consistently you’ll pick it up and get moving kickflips in no time. You just gotta remember it’s not a skateboard
This time of year I always debate getting a snowskate. Then I remember I live in Georgia and it only snows here once every 3 years or so.
i live in GA too! in midtown. used to live in denver Colorado tho
Thanks for this review. This year I bought one but had no idea there was different shapes and so. So bought a JIB. We had twice snow in Paris like 1/2-1 inche. Enough to tried few things. First without grip the front foot slip towards the nose and makes issues placing back the front foot in the middle of the board challenging. Just doing a flip or a pop shuv while sliding was a bit challenging. Did a lot of static tricks (it was a bit frustrating like doing carpet boarding but worth because getting used to foot placements). Just received the prism grip tape. So now I ll be ready for next snow fall. Just sent you a DM on instagram. Definitely want to get a team or signature board to try. Will look for the concave too. Your review and experiences helps a lot. Thanks 🙏🏽
they should send you a concave deck and some merch for your efforts. cool update.
I had a plastic snow skate as a kid, I could swear it looked exactly like a jib series but it definitely wasn’t. I picked up an ambition team model 2024 this year and am I ever glad with my decision! 2 street and 1 park session so far
Rad rat after tryin the trick hit the snow off the grip and that’ll fix things a little helped me
i have a wood board with plastic bottom, it seems like it would be better for tricks with more exaggerated tails. like bigger/steeper.
Haven't checked in in a while, but glad you're still making videos 👍
I love went rad rat goes hard
May the snow gods bless you!
Great videos dude 👍 keep em coming
I put snowboarding wax on the top of my Snowskate prevent the snow from sticking to the top.
Snowskates are fun. I can kickflip on my wood Ambition board, but I can't kickflip on a skateboard, LOL.
the vibe of this video is very strange compared to your usual videos i still dig it tho
cute cat! 4:30
I bought one that has a black riser under the boatd and tried it out today. Hellla fuuuun
I think in general these wooden ones are just too heavy. They kind of work, yes. But I kind of prefer just a regular deck without trucks and wheels. Less stable in how it moves forward, but way easier to handle. It won't flip as easily depending on technique used, but I can do more tricks with those at the moment.
Mr.rat, I am having trouble in my love life. My LDS family is shunning me. Will you please provide some advice 🙏
i wanted to have my kids try to snow skate, the only time it snowed it was 2 degrees lol
Yes it wood
Those treads on the plastic one might be slowing you down.
Replacing the board of a cheap snowboard
Informative video, but the snow shot ~6:00 was purty.
I think the second day your ramp/box must have been a little sloped sideways or something. Weird
Picked up 2 snow skates off Facebook market place for 10$ each
I wonder how long those grip nubs will actually stay stuck or even last
40 years
I have never snow skate before but it looks like your starting your Ollie's and kick flips wayy late. Like your boards hanging so far off the edge before you pop. maybe that's how your supposed to do it tho idk.
Do you live in colorado springs now or were you just visiting? I saw the pikes peak hoodie so I was curious
hell yeah!! I found my wood ambition snow skate as a curb find on a sunny day in August while out skating around town. Someone just put it on the curb! Basically best curb find of my lift. This music played in my head when I found it! ua-cam.com/video/69AyYUJUBTg/v-deo.html
