I don’t know why, but here & there... I tend to come back to NailStrafer’s playthrough of Cool Boarders 2; I find it fun to watch to this day & this is kind of nostalgic for me (I would watch these vids while eating breakfast before I would head for school). The yellow subtitle comments are kinda dated, to me, but they’re still enjoyable commentary for me. Glad to see NailStrafer’s still making videos every once in a while.
aww so many memories of being about 8 or 9 playing this for hrs n hrs at my friends house down the street, it makes me smile when i see this game now:) back when life was simple.
i seem to remember i got CoolBoarders2 when it first came out and got some gaming magazine, and there were a TON of codes to get all the players, outfits, different boards, everything
Interesting experiment, the comments work well, they're never in the way, awesome. And damn this game looks awesome! Darn me for only playing a demo of the first one. o-o
I remember playing this when I was younger, and I unlocked the alien somehow - I go to make a jump and this little guy does like 6 360's on his little saucer, I was estatic!
When you do the spin, go to fakie, and frontside, and right before you land, do a shifty. Gets a lot of points for me. I use Yaggi with a All Around T3
I loved this game! Thaks for uploading this... tho I don't meen to sound cheeky but how come you weren't doing tricks and flips on the jumps? If memory serves me correctly (must be more than 10 years since i played this) i can remember doing grabs and flips ect.
OMG I REMEMBER THIS! i haven't seen this game in like... 6 years. :'( Brings back memories... me and my bro always laughed at boss and the snowman and i always used irin... i think that's her name? there was that man that me and my bro called shaggy even though he wasn't called that? OMG the good old days!
Since most of the classic games are making a comeback, would be to much to ask for another Cool Boarders game with updated graphics and included the same game play as Cool Boarders 2.
@chibangin007 No the other characters were merely added so there wud be more competitors in the race the other were unlockables solely for other mode use :P
hey you're really good! cool videos!nice coments :) i never understood every things the off screen voice say except some things as "get ready" and "cool" (i'm not English)
There's a technique to a low time on Sunset Downhill. On the downhill with a ledge, ride the line close to the wall. With an alpine board you should top 105 mph. All-arounders get a 97 mph speed.
Im currently in my first year in games development in college, with exams coming up in a few weeks, and I think about this game alot! If I had the power to remake a game in PS3 form, it would be this! Thought I would put in a few changes that would be relatively significant, the most notable being the addition of Jicchi, Nick and Kelly into the competition roster. I don't know about Boss though because of his insane superiority in terms of performance - related stats, though I would of course include him as an unlockable for the other modes. I could probably have him as an unlockable for competition mode if the player finished it with all of the characters. The music wouldn't sound exactly the same as the PS1 version but the soundtracks would still have the same names and stuff. Customization, MAYBE some extra clothing items, but definitely not a purchase, edit and equip thing, as money is not involved in this game at all. But yeah, I can forsee myself remaking this game in the future haha.
You've been watching me, you stalker! XD Nah, that's good. I remember when you told me you were starting secondary school, I think I was in my 4th year at the time. Will you be going to one near your hometown or in another state? Im currently in a college about 15 mins from where I live. Oh and I can upload matches in about 5 mins at college, so I'll be able to upload more matches for quite another while! :D Warrior with Lee and Jin btw ;) I have the match recorded :D And theres a little bonus to it, both when I was playing the match and watching the replay ;)
Congrats bro! And no I don't stalk you XD lol, your shit pops up on my email lmfao. My Forest Law was demoted back down to Master :'( by a Try-Hard Bryan and Bob team. My Asuka is still a Brawler. But my A.King is coming up close for Grand Master Rank ;D He's on point haha. Hopefully you and I will have a match and you or I can record and show off our strength! My college is five hours away from me but it's easy to get there :). Also my M. Law and Jin Team is coming back up in the Ranks as well ;). Pretty soon I will be back in Berserker mode before you know it. :P
5 hours?! How are you gonna get there? A bus or a train or somethin'? I really should learn how to drive haha. Man, you're all over the place with those ranks XD I'm Warrior with Lee and Jin now, if I haven't told you already :)
all cool boarders was fun, even 3 even four hell even ssx if you want to go there, some concept same controls. I just liked how the guy called out all the tricks especially when he said Crrrrrrrrrrrrrripppler.
I had a demo disc of this game, and I played that shit so much. I must have played that demo everyday for months. I eventually bought a CoolBoarders game, but it was the 3rd one.
competition mode, when your qualifyin on stadium kicker...do a fake to backside 720 mute grab to tweak :D:D 800 + points and stands you in good stead if your in hard mode the 2nd type of big air ramp, the bump off the edge of the jump to the left.. perform a misty 1080 (i think) 900 + points, 1000 if your lucky... finally the 3rd type of jump ramp, the daddy of the big air ramps, line up to perform your jump left hand side of the ramp,time your jump and u go miles in the air perfom a misty
I would play with Erin everytime b/c she had the most balance. I could pull of some of the craziest tricks and still stick the landings... most of the time.
I hate that damn Boss haha used to do awesome tricks and have great runs and he'd somehow manage to win by the skin of his bald head. I beat him a couple times though to ease the pain! I'd usually play this followed by Crash Bandicoot 2 haha
Hold down left or right on the controller while you hold down the X button to charge your jump. The longer you hold down left/right, the more you'll spin.
@NailStrafer Actually doing well on the tracks and jumps gives good start times and ranks which are important further in the competition when you need to finish in a certain rank to keep going.:l
well this game is quite nostalgic for me i used to have it mastered even the tricks at the big air i knew what tricks to do to when and when to time them but i lost that with age i have tried psx rips of it to live up this great game i suck badly though
I think I played this one and the first one cause u remember the starting line from coolboarders 1 but when I watch this it awfully familiar I haven't played it in years u was only 2 or 3 when I played it so yeah 10 or 11 years
i figuered out when i was 6 (12 years ago) that on on the first tricks course dont start tricks until the first bump for downhill then lock it to down left (directional) and x then button mash and you should get 900+ points each round.
I don't like doing stunts. The less I can get by with, the better. This is why Coolboarders 2 is the only snowboarding game I like. You only have to do stunts every now and then, instead of constantly.
@chibangin007 ha ha i never managed to get alien. :( i got snowman and woman and boss though. i liked how it growled when it said "BOSS'... miss it. :( can you download it from PSN?
Spent years playing this game stoned, I'd say nobody could beat my times and especially the trick scores with the alien lad but sadly they're lost in the mists of time...
@soaphead11 Excuse me, but there's something I don't think you understand. Different people get fun from the same games in different ways. Coolboarders 2 is the only snowboarding game I love because of its big focus on racing, rather than tricks. I love racing, but have zero interest in tricks. Like you said, it's for fun, so why do something I don't get any fun out of (excepting the qualifying round, of course)?
Yaggi: Good at tricks and races. Jin: Great speed and power! Cindy: Not good at tricks but has good maxspeed. Irin: Great at tricks and turning but she lacked power. Jicchi: He sucks at everything except power and maxspeed. Nick: He sucks but he's not as bad as Jicchi. Nick has alot of power. Kelly: Her jumping skills are great and she's good at tricks. Boss: Great at everything but Irin beats him when it comes to balance. Snowman: Best speed worse balance. Gray: Trick master!
man i got this game when it first came out, definately one of my favorites. then one year i lost it and never found it again, i'm still mad about that
Why don't they make game announcers like this anymore. This guy is by far the best announcer in any game.
I don’t know why, but here & there... I tend to come back to NailStrafer’s playthrough of Cool Boarders 2; I find it fun to watch to this day & this is kind of nostalgic for me (I would watch these vids while eating breakfast before I would head for school).

aww so many memories of being about 8 or 9 playing this for hrs n hrs at my friends house down the street, it makes me smile when i see this game now:) back when life was simple.
Oh man, I remember this. The music was awesome, and the game was just... wow.
the memories you provided me! this and courier crisis were the best ps1 games ever ahhh the fond memories of 1998
by far the best one out of all the coolboarders games, i used to skip school to play this game
This brings back some great memories cheers fella for uploading.
on the 1st of the 3 qualifying jumps do a fakie to backside 1260 mute grab to tweak (fakie button/
Nice vid and awesome competition I enjoyed it man!!! ^^ congrats!!! =D
3:28 I used to laugh a lot when the crowd boos like that when I fail to clear a jump lol
still remember the intro music O.o
OMG I miss this game so much. Best snowboarding game hands down XD
You know, I really like the text commentary rather than a spoken one. Very enjoyable overall.
I still have this game. It was amazing, but crazy difficult on the final stages.
I love it when he does that nonchalant.
*jump* "yes..."
This reminds me the good old days with the ps1.This was actually my 1st game and it's awesome
i seem to remember i got CoolBoarders2 when it first came out and got some gaming magazine, and there were a TON of codes to get all the players, outfits, different boards, everything
I remember this game!! It was my brothers game, but I enjoyed playing it. I sucked, but I liked playing it. Lol!
Interesting experiment, the comments work well, they're never in the way, awesome. And damn this game looks awesome! Darn me for only playing a demo of the first one. o-o
I remember playing this when I was younger, and I unlocked the alien somehow - I go to make a jump and this little guy does like 6 360's on his little saucer, I was estatic!
I love this game!! I've played it for hours and hours when i was a child *_*
I miss this game, I use to fly through the races and do crazy tricks....I would suck now, haventp layed it in years.
This was my first video game and I'm just. Overcome with nostalgia.
the UEP SYSTEMS intro scared the hell out of me the first time.
Omg this game nostalgia is real. Just left rocket power on my childhood games search
AHHH OMFG MEMORIES
ahh back in the day wen u picked a character because of what they looked like
When you do the spin, go to fakie, and frontside, and right before you land, do a shifty. Gets a lot of points for me. I use Yaggi with a All Around T3
DAT SOUNDTRACK!
i love this game great video btw
oh my god I've been searching for this game for years!!!!
I loved this game! Thaks for uploading this... tho I don't meen to sound cheeky but how come you weren't doing tricks and flips on the jumps? If memory serves me correctly (must be more than 10 years since i played this) i can remember doing grabs and flips ect.

OMG the good old days!
yup....gonna download this one here....let the nostalgia begin.
I remember this game...I always played with Irin =D
Since most of the classic games are making a comeback, would be to much to ask for another Cool Boarders game with updated graphics and included the same game play as Cool Boarders 2.
Shit man this game took me back like high school, the music and everything now I need to find again
@chibangin007 No the other characters were merely added so there wud be more competitors in the race the other were unlockables solely for other mode use :P

There's a technique to a low time on Sunset Downhill. On the downhill with a ledge, ride the line close to the wall. With an alpine board you should top 105 mph. All-arounders get a 97 mph speed.
Man, I freakin loved this game.
Loved this game!
Dude at least do tricks while racing. We tore that game to shreds. Damn takes me back! Thanks for the post.

Hey bro, That's awesome :D I'm heading to college in August and I'll be doing Visual Communications and Design. :)
You've been watching me, you stalker! XD Nah, that's good. I remember when you told me you were starting secondary school, I think I was in my 4th year at the time. Will you be going to one near your hometown or in another state? Im currently in a college about 15 mins from where I live. Oh and I can upload matches in about 5 mins at college, so I'll be able to upload more matches for quite another while! :D Warrior with Lee and Jin btw ;) I have the match recorded :D And theres a little bonus to it, both when I was playing the match and watching the replay ;)

5 hours?! How are you gonna get there? A bus or a train or somethin'? I really should learn how to drive haha. Man, you're all over the place with those ranks XD I'm Warrior with Lee and Jin now, if I haven't told you already :)
You did XD lol. And by Car bruh. I drive. Been driving since I turned 18 XD lol.
all cool boarders was fun, even 3 even four hell even ssx if you want to go there, some concept same controls. I just liked how the guy called out all the tricks especially when he said Crrrrrrrrrrrrrripppler.
This game was great!
Wish I still had my playstation :(
this is so 90's it's awesome
I had a demo disc of this game, and I played that shit so much. I must have played that demo everyday for months. I eventually bought a CoolBoarders game, but it was the 3rd one.
Ah, love this game. Downloading it now. :P
God I remember this game...fun game.
competition mode, when your qualifyin on stadium kicker...do a fake to backside 720 mute grab to tweak :D:D 800 + points and stands you in good stead if your in hard mode
the 2nd type of big air ramp, the bump off the edge of the jump to the left.. perform a misty 1080 (i think) 900 + points, 1000 if your lucky...
finally the 3rd type of jump ramp, the daddy of the big air ramps, line up to perform your jump left hand side of the ramp,time your jump and u go miles in the air perfom a misty
I would play with Erin everytime b/c she had the most balance. I could pull of some of the craziest tricks and still stick the landings... most of the time.
I hate that damn Boss haha used to do awesome tricks and have great runs and he'd somehow manage to win by the skin of his bald head. I beat him a couple times though to ease the pain! I'd usually play this followed by Crash Bandicoot 2 haha
Hold down left or right on the controller while you hold down the X button to charge your jump. The longer you hold down left/right, the more you'll spin.
I loved COOL BOARDERS 2.
If you compare the graphic with todays Iphone or so, man, we came a long way!
You can do a misty 540 using alpine type 3 at Stadium Kicker with Yaggi. Then, in the race, you will ride with the fastest board in a good position.
@NailStrafer Actually doing well on the tracks and jumps gives good start times and ranks which are important further in the competition when you need to finish in a certain rank to keep going.:l
Hey dude, what’s rhe combination to the trick you performed in this game.
There was a site that had the soundtrack but the site has been down for a few months with no explaination.
=/
well this game is quite nostalgic for me i used to have it mastered even the tricks at the big air i knew what tricks to do to when and when to time them but i lost that with age i have tried psx rips of it to live up this great game i suck badly though
I got no clue what you just told me XD
Sorry, but I hate doing tricks, so I only bothered learning enough to get by.
what's really weird is that the UK gets chilled out beat music where as america gets amazing fast beat rock type of tunes. xD fun.
i loved playing as the unlockable alien lol was lush =)
I think I played this one and the first one cause u remember the starting line from coolboarders 1 but when I watch this it awfully familiar I haven't played it in years u was only 2 or 3 when I played it so yeah 10 or 11 years
Thats funny cuz I was just tryin to get the coolboarders soundtrack and all I could find was like trance/techno stuff.
I believe there was also an arcade version of this game, am I right?
There was? Where did you hear that?
same, i do like the music from this version tho, but that rap song which played on the original was legendary
i figuered out when i was 6 (12 years ago) that on on the first tricks course dont start tricks until the first bump for downhill then lock it to down left (directional) and x then button mash and you should get 900+ points each round.
The voice always reminded me of Sinbad lol
I don't like doing stunts. The less I can get by with, the better. This is why Coolboarders 2 is the only snowboarding game I like. You only have to do stunts every now and then, instead of constantly.
The Killer List of Videogames lists it as released in 1997 by Tecmo as "CoolBoarders Arcade Jam".
i used to love this game
That's very interesting then. I think I'll google it later.
@chibangin007 ha ha i never managed to get alien. :( i got snowman and woman and boss though. i liked how it growled when it said "BOSS'... miss it. :( can you download it from PSN?
I remember I beat Hard Mode when I was 9 or 10, but I can't do it again! I don't know why!
I love this game so much :D couldnt beat hard mode though.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL BOARDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS! HERE WE GO!
coooooooool b--here we go!
COOOOOOOL BOARDERRRRS!
here we go!
for those who are nervous about trying this, you will get the ending even if you place 2nd (and I think 3rd).
Spent years playing this game stoned, I'd say nobody could beat my times and especially the trick scores with the alien lad but sadly they're lost in the mists of time...
This was my first game as a kid wow :’)
this was one of the first games i had for playstation cool
i still have a demo disc from my very first ps1 that i got back in like 1996 that has this game on it :O
'Dat nostalgia, though.
El soundtrack del juego es bestial !!!!
