I have one too! You can use plastic mesh on any steep surface too, say if you wanna board slide an object lay the plastic mesh on the ground to build momentum!
as a snowboarder, I think that the posture of the people in the stikboard promo is exactly the opposite of what you want to stand like when snowboarding
Thanks for keeping me sane while I hibernate in the north American winter! Any chance you'll shoot for any of the resorts on Mt Hood next season in the US? Or Timberline this summer?
Davidsjones dude, I’ve had my first Stikboard from back in the day, prob early 2000’s, and it does do everything it says it does. I have a newer model, and even my older one is still rideable, it was designed by a bunch of dudes here on the coast in NSW Aus I’ve ridden mine on grass (you just need a bigger cleaner hill with smoother grass, the grass you were using was too long causing the friction)... I’ve used it on snow, carves just fine, didn’t even use bindings. Been towed by a fourby along the beach in the water with a tow rope, and that’s where it’s really fun! Once again, I don’t have bindings on mine because it restricts you from any tricks you want to do, especially in the wash of the white water in shallow waters. Also, you can get matting for it, I’ve got a shit load of the stuff, it isn’t that expensive, but we made a mini fun ramp for it with less tranny so it wasn’t so vertical and easier to ride on the ramp, once again, worked fine, the dunes are most fun, you build up speed real quick, and having bindings would help in many situations, but before I moved out of my house in Byron, we had four dudes living there with a 8foot half pipe, four foot mini ramp, and then (as far as I still know) the Stikboard ramp is still there. Using the matting makes it super quick, and we’d just drop in on a sloped ramp, slide across the mat, kicker ramp, fun box, and landing mat. If you notice in the video you shared of others riding the grass, look at how much shorter and cleaner it is, so the shorter the grass, the less friction you’ll battle! Don’t give up on it yet bro, they are fun as hell! And like I said, our entire house was full of surf boards, snowboards, skateboards, and we bought two Stikboards right away as soon as we saw them, then bought four more, and we’ve even taken the matting down to a concrete snake run and loaded that up, and you can steer them once you have momentum, but carving the snake bowl was sikk! We totally dominated it those days, so we started going down at night so we didn’t stop all the kids from being able to use it, but my face is being towed along the beach because you can kick flip off the wash, carve, shred, all from attaching a ski rope to the tow bar and getting that initial surge of energy without face planting the water or shallows haha Keep on it bro, if you haven’t seeing as you live in NZ, take it to the snow with you and give it a lash there! It’s obviously not going to shred like your board does, but they’re still fun, and will be easier for you because you’ve attached bindings to it! Check out some vids of people using the mesh, you’ll see how much speed you’ll gain real quick, and as I mentioned, even on the matting on a concrete snake run, you can still steer it and bust some small air, carve, switch, just enjoy the fact theu designed an all purpose board, so with that in mind, being so versatile you’re not going to get peak performance on every surface, but they still work! Gotta get mine out now and blow the dust off it! Hope you’re having a good season? Didn’t make it over there this year bro, but I’ll bring mine over next season and try and hook up with you when I’m over there, we’ll get them out and ride one with bindings and the other without, see what we can achieve pros and cons of each? Cheers for the upload, good to see people still giving them a go!
Ps- I also come over there to speed fly (paragliding), and I’m a terrible skier, ‘life was meant to be ridden sideways’ in my opinion, skate, surf, snow, scooters are the new rollerblades! Even the best scooter rider doesn’t come close to the worst skater in my opinion! Next season I might actually give that a go, because with your trimmers on your speed wing, leaving them open allows you to gain altitude, closing them up or tightening them changes the angle of attack, and work speed, you sacrifice height, so that’s where you see speed flyers so close to the ground proximity flying, but being low and fast is fun as shit, but as you know as a snowboarder, with glare and unknown runs, look can be deceiving! May look like it’s still declining down the mountain, but can very quickly flatten out or drop on you, so when you’re doing like 80+kph only a few feet from the ground, you need some sort of snow craft, but in all the years I’ve been gliding, some young blood from NZ has inspired me to use that seeing as they’re so light and you only really need take off and landing, and the odd skim if really macking it! Cheers bro, you’ve just opened up my world haha
I went to NZ in April and saw plenty of big grassy hills north of Whanganui. Also big sand dunes in Khafia. Reckon grass and terrain needs to be a bit smoother and it could work.
He is going to be so stoked when he finds out he can do that on snow
He mentions snowboarding in the video. Absolute dumbass comment man

have you ever seen a golfcourse with a hill?
@@benclem6472 Yeah quite a few of them do have hills. Maybe not on the green, but the trimmed grass on the side can sometimes be fairly steep.
Since most parts don’t get snow in NZ, you should try this on a frosty morning when the hills are coated with ice!!!
Yes
Missed a golden opportunity to title this video “Surfing Turf!”
Needs to be steeper, slightly wet and flatter
Chase null he probably meant more uniform terrain
That's what she said
Steeper, flatter, and covered in snow.
And with a layer of wax on the board
smoother, but hey bumps will just make you better if you learn how to get over them.

when i was little in summer we used to 'snowboard' down hills on pieces of cardboard, surprisingly works great.
you look like a first timer on a snowboard :D

Maybe if the grass was damp it might work better

I can hear the vegans complaining.
Alex Knapp vegans complain about fucking everything lmao sad life for them i guess 😂
Lol
Hey my last name is Knapp
but why
Vegans care about reducing unnecessary harm, exploitation, and death to sentient beings as much as reasonably possible. Grass boarding is irrelevant

David: "what if we could ride grass"
Kid named grass:😳
Cmon mane, every NZ kids childhood was cardboard sleds down the hills, love how this vid is done though
This has been a real journey my guy
Im pretty shure it has to be dampd/wet to be ridable...
David make happiness david makes my day youtubers make my day
I want to see you take the board to snowboard lava now, since it works on ANY surface!
I love these videos I just wish there was a ski UA-camr as good as you
Will you come to Australia at any point during this season??

I’m in Australia Qld our hills are good as if you get the right spot
“GRASS... grass... gRaSs... gRaSs... GRASSS... gRaSs... gRaSs!” I can’t even rn 😂💀

My friend and I have been looking to find something like this because it hasn’t snowed here in a long time
enjoyed the video man! go skimboard!!!
Dude. You’re hilarious. Great attitude and love your videos!!!! New sub!🤘🏼
Great vid mate. I look at the hills around Chiang Mai , thailand and wish I could snowboard them all
I wanna see some grass slashes!!
Matt Maniaci Fuck!
There you are. I thought something bad happened to you. So the casting couch is real
Matt Maniaci no
The intro should be a commercial😂😂
It might work better if you do it after some rain when the grass is still wet.
Yo homie edits are a sick idea. Respect dude😎
I thought you were supposed to put water in the cracks at the bottom and have it freeze
Lars Anding you are
Why
Whaaaaaaa!!!! Brozuffffff! That thing is sick!!!!
Maybe try it in the rain.
Yess
You never fail to make a bad video your a nice and funny and humble person. Keep up the good work

whats the name of the song at 4:48
I am also looking for this song? Have you found it?
Joey trap seasame street that’s the song
who else forgot this was a snowboarding channel after fingerboard weeks
I'm getting allergies
What mountain do you snowboard
Does anybody know the song????
I do
Try the stikboard on a dewy morning or after some rain! I'm curious to see if you can get going faster in different conditions.
What's the name of the background song
Seems the ideal hills for that would be even better for a mountain board
You could probably get anything to slide down a hill as steep as that one
Snowboard? Nahhhh Grassboard 😂
Hey look at my Grass SNOWboard
Wouldn'tit be call grass board
Yo man love your videos u live 10 minutes away from me
"And the keyword is GRASS!"
Anyone else hear water? That got me curious.
do it on a golf course i live right next to a golf course and it seems like it would work perfectly nice groomed grass with some steep hills

Yoo imma buy one of these and use it on the farm
COME TO AUSTRALIA THIS SEASON!!!
When Australians try and snowboard but their still in australia
We have snowy mountains...
Erebus not in Queensland
It's like a 2hr flight or you can just drive. I head to Thredbo every year to snowboard.

"OOF" HAHAHAHAH!!! Bull fences suck!
Loved this vid man 😂
Waste of time & energy...mountainboarding is the equalizer 😂
Oooh that time we slid more than a couple centimetres 🤣🤣🤣
Need some wd 40 or wax
I mean, it looks like you are having fun dude 😊
Its not a SnowBoard.... its a grassboard 🤣😂🤣
That echo tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 grass grass grass grass...
Gotta wax it first.
Dope, this could work in my backyard.
It would be a freeboard not a snowboard
You should ride a freebord it’s like a asphalt snowboard
Its hit one million so spiiiiiiiicy🌶🌶🌶
You should try it early morning when the grass still has still wet it will definitely work so much better
where was this filmed? looks like a cool spot
You read my comment! Star struck 🤩 😂😂 love your vids man!
“Great success !” Borat 😂
I loved these videos
This was awesome
Congratulations, you have reach 1 million views✌👍✌👍✌👍✌👍✌👍✌👍✌👍✌👍✌👍😁😁😁😁
how often did you go snowboarding when you first started and some tips for a 360?
Hey just wanted to let u know that this vid was a BANGER!
And can u please make some skating vids?
I used to "snowboard" on a hill covered in deep leaves in the forest with vegetable oil on the bottom of a skateboard deck.
Do you have to use snowboard bindings
