Get new hoodies at draganboards.com starting on Monday.

Let me just preface this by saying that if it was feasible at all, I would way rather buy a dragan board setup. But I stay in Africa where our exchange rate and import duties make it financially completely impossible to ever warrent buying a setup and bringing it in. (It would literally cost the equivalent of two months rent for me to buy the setup, and that is before shipping and import duties)

Also, local skateshops would never risk selling anything other than skateboards and surfboards as even those scenes are quite small here.

So, I have never even seen a streetboard in real life, only in videos. And I REALLY Want to try it out. like I have been looking at a way to get one for years, but it is literally impossible to purchase from here.

So, on to my plan. I have some old skateboard decks I have cut and shaped into a streetboard (or a really bad approximation of) with pivots. And I found someone giving away old snowboard bindings, which I have bolted on. The only thing I am struggling with are the trucks. I don't want to use normal skateboard or longboard trucks, as obviously the bushings will make me carve waaaaaay too much. So my question is, has anyone ever tried to make DIY streetboard trucks? should I just use angle iron and thick high tensile bolts? any input would be greatly appreciated 😊

anyone looked into the alterskate boards? i'm going to paris for a few months next year and was considering buying a board there, but the alterskate boards have a promo, so i'm not sure which i should go for

I live in canada and would love to ride one but paying 400 from Germany is just too much. Was thinking of streetboarding.com (they dont sell the pivot system tho) or pivotboarding.com

It feels like this kind of board sports is a little dead :D But maybe there are a few people out there who are still interested in it.

I decided to make some videos about my progression while relearning streetboarding. I stoped riding a few years ago and started this summer again. The reason for me is to fill the gap between winter seasons, because I started also riding snowboard last winter. For documentation of my progression I created that channel. Currently every video is in german language, but I add English subtitles. The idea is to also get better in speaking and writing english. I relly suck in everything ;) But I have much fun, even if I sill scared of the cam. :)

Here is the latest Video:

So i am thinking of getting into this sport. Looks like it could be my alternative to snowboarding in the summer.

I have been looking closer at the Rogue Pivotboards Third Wave Elite and at the Gazpacho.

Which one would you guys recommend?

Hi r/streetboarding,

We are scientists from the Ruhr-University in Bochum in Germany and as we were overwhelmed by your support of our study we posted here a few months ago, we would like to ask you for support again. We are currently doing another study on how athletes from different sports differ in their personality and well-being.

It is quite similar to the previous one, but this time we don't ask how you would describe *other* athletes, but how would you describe *yourself*. At the end of the survey, you immediately get feedback about your personality profile.

Link to survey:

If you have questions, leave them in the comments and we will try to answer them.

Thank you so much in advance!

I found my snakeboard from the mid 90s in my parents garage recently. Unfortunately the bushings under the footplates have disintigrated so it's no longer rideable. Does anyone know of a source for replacement parts so I can get back on this thing?

Hi r/streetboarding,

We are scientists from the Ruhr-University in Bochum in Germany and currently researching how athletes from different sports and at different proficiency levels differ in their personalities.

We created a survey in which you are asked to pick your main sport and to then characterize the typical and the ideal athlete of this sport. When choosing your sport from our list of sports "Skateboarding" is probably the best fit for you.

The survey takes about 20 minutes and as compensation, we will later inform you about the typical personality profile of your sport!

Anyone see those new Dimension Boards?

One of these bad boys

Hi, I'm keen on getting to Streetboarding here in Singapore.

I'm a small guy (164cm 5foot3/4), wondering if a clickboard will be sufficient since they are marketed at children? I reckon I must be the height of an average American child.

Thank you!

How tight/loose should they be? I slightly tightened mine when I got my board but they are really free moving. I'm wondering if they are too loose.

So I do alright on the board. Take off the bindings and I don't have this problem. But no bindings takes a way a lot of the fun.

Anyway, in bindings if I carve towards the direction I am facing I keep losing my balance and falling backwards. Took my first hard fall the other day and was really glad to be in slam guards because I hit pretty hard.

Thoughts?

Justing posting up some info about the sport and where we are. There is so much exciting stuff going on. Ascent Streetboards launched in 2015 showcasing the worlds only plastic streetboards focusing on kids and entry and intermediate level riders. Pivotboard and Alterskate are both still alive and rocking it in San Diego. Gazpacho Boards is killing it because of their amazing owner Gabi Munos, the worlds best vert ramp streetboarder. He is also one of the few, if not the only, to land a double backflip on a streetboard. In addition, vertalert.info was launched to find the new, up-and-coming, vert ramp streetboarders. Are you interested, check out that site. As always, streetboarding.com is selling streetboards online throughout the US. Get involved!

So I'm old and broken. My days of riding are reaching an end. I can't ride the little splinters the new kids ride and my big old vert deck doesn't see much air anymore.

I do still snowboard mostly park, nothing insane, but would like to get into streetboarding just so I can still ride something.

All the links and searches I have done turn up vendors from 4-5 years ago. I'm having a hard time finding something quality that is current. Any direction, help, links would be awesome for this old goat.

What???

I have a skatecycle and a snakeboard. The center bar on the skatecycle is very short so I cannot generate much power going on flat or uphill surfaces. However, the 9 inch wheels are nice for going over obstacles.
