A Snakeboard, also known as a Streetboard, or Pivotboard is a type of skateboard invented in South Africa in 1989[1] by James Fisher,[2] Simon King[2] and Oliver Macleod Smith.[2] The concept was to fuse the original skateboard with elements of snowboarding and surfing to create a fun riding experience. The first prototype was constructed using two square wooden boards, an old roller skate chopped in half, and a piece of plumbing pipe to join them together. Many variants were tried before manufacturing began. The first boards to be mass-produced were made from a strong plastic nylon known as Zytel ST801.

Performance

[edit]

The rider of a snakeboard stands with one foot on each footplate (the feet are usually fixed to the board using bindings) and, by moving their feet in and out in conjunction with the shoulders and hips, is able to propel the board in any direction using only body weight. This transfer of energy is called nonholonomic locomotion.[3] The board moves in a motion similar to that of a snake—hence the sport's original name of snakeboarding. The rider of a snakeboard can ride the board on almost any terrain (depending on the setup and model of board) and even propel himself uphill and perform extreme stunts similar to those done by skateboarders and snowboarders. Snakeboards allow riders to gain momentum without the need to push themselves with their feet like skateboarders.

History

[edit]

Skatex International (Pty) Ltd[4] is the name of the first company that manufactured boards of this kind and was the inventors' original company. Skatex International licensed Snakeboard USA to sell and distribute the boards in the United States; the sport rapidly became known as "snakeboarding". James Fisher, Simon King and Oliver Macleod Smith jointly owned the patents and trademarks for the sport. In the late 1990s, the inventors licensed PMS (UK), a toy retailer, to manufacturer the "Sydewynder" under license. Over 50,000 Sydewynders were sold in the UK and Europe. The inventors then listed their company Snakeboard International AIM market, a division of the London Stock Exchange. Later there was a reverse acquisition of Snakeboard International by a company called MV Sports. MV Sports eventually stopped manufacturing the Snakeboard. However, the sport survives today with more advanced boards and is becoming more widely known as streetboarding. The remaining snakeboard patents expired in 2011.[5]

A snakeboard is self-propelled, and there is no need to touch a foot on the ground. Moreover, it is considerably easier to generate and maintain momentum than on a skateboard. To perform a trick, one's feet must be strapped to the board, which makes it harder to "bail out" of a trick or dismount. Although the footstraps limit the amount a rider can manipulate the board, they also facilitate certain techniques. Much like a snowboarder, the rider can perform spins and somersaults higher and farther than any skateboarder. At the same time, this means a faster learning curve. While a skateboarder will spend weeks learning the most basic manoeuvres, such as the ollie, or jump, a streetboarder (snakeboarder) simply has to strap himself to the board and jump as he would without the board attached.

Toe-hooks have been developed in more recent years as an alternative to straps for riders who are not performing complex tricks. These allow the rider to jump with the board but also enable the rider to dismount from the board or "bail" in the event of a fall as they are not strapped to the board.Some of the pro snakeboarder were Ashley Morgan (South Africa), Kelly Dean (USA) Marnie Raath (South Africa), the twins, Lucky (South Africa) Ingo from Germany to name just a few Pro snakeboaders that traveled the globe and all over South Africa and the U.S.A [6]

Names

[edit]

Snakeboard is the brand name created by the original inventors of the board and comes from its snake-like movement. The trademark for the term snakeboard expired in 2002. The term streetboard began to be used around that time to describe any board where the wheels and trucks rotate with the rider's feet without referring to a specific brand. The name "streetboard" comes from the idea that it is a "snowboard for the streets". The original patent for the snakeboard refers to the board as a "Pivoting Skateboard" and in recent years there has been discussions around using more technically descriptive terms such as pivotboard and pivotskate.[7] The term swingboard has also been used.[8]

from Grokipedia
A snakeboard, also known as a streetboard or pivotboard, is a type of consisting of two separate foot platforms, each mounted on a pair of wheels, connected by a central pivot bar or spacer that allows independent rotation around a vertical axis, enabling riders to propel themselves forward and steer by performing twisting, oscillatory motions with their feet and body. This design facilitates a snake-like carving motion, mimicking the feel of or on land without the need for pushing off the ground. Invented in the late 1980s in by James Fisher, Simon King, and Oliver Macleod Smith, the snakeboard emerged as an evolution of traditional skateboards, driven by the creators' desire to replicate the dynamic carving sensations of wave riding on flat surfaces. The inventors secured patents for the device, including Australian Patent AU626705B2 filed in 1990, which detailed the core mechanism of pivoting footboards linked by a rigid spacer to achieve nonholonomic locomotion through rider-induced torque. By the early , the Snakeboard company was established, propelling the sport's global popularity through endorsements, competitions, and even a listing on the London Stock Exchange, though it later faced challenges from corporate shifts and rebranded to streetboarding in the . The snakeboard's unique mechanics have made it a subject of interest in and , where it serves as a model for studying underactuated systems and nonholonomic due to its reliance on cyclic foot movements for rather than direct wheel drive. As of 2025, it supports various disciplines including slalom and freestyle tricks like spins and slides, as well as hybrid uses such as with bipedal robots, maintaining a dedicated global community with ongoing events like the Bavarian Open championships despite competition from conventional skateboards.

Introduction

Definition and Origins

A snakeboard is a self-propelled variant of the consisting of two separate foot platforms connected by a pivoting central , designed to enable riders to perform carving turns and lateral movements that closely mimic the fluid motions of and on land surfaces. This hybrid board sport device allows propulsion through rhythmic foot-driven snaking actions without the need to push off the ground, emphasizing balance and body for control. The snakeboard originated in 1989 in , where inventors James Fisher, Simon King, and Oliver Macleod Smith developed it out of frustration with the limited opportunities for practicing carving sports due to inconsistent waves for and absence of snow for . The trio, avid enthusiasts of board sports, sought to create a land-based alternative that captured the dynamic sensations of their preferred activities. As of , the sport maintains an active community with events such as the Bavarian Open and German Streetboard Championship. The initial prototype was rudimentary, constructed from two pieces of wooden board sourced from household materials, components of disassembled for the wheels and trucks, and a section of pipe serving as the pivot mechanism to link the platforms. This handmade proved effective in testing, leading to refinements and the production of early versions that demonstrated the board's potential for agile, surf-like maneuvers on pavement. Subsequent mass-produced snakeboards transitioned to advanced materials, notably Zytel ST801, a high-impact nylon resin engineered for superior durability and flexibility under stress, which enhanced performance and enabled widespread manufacturing. Following the expiration of original patents, the device evolved into the generic term "streetboarding" to describe similar pivot-based boards.

Basic Components

The traditional snakeboard features two independent foot platforms connected by a central pivot mechanism, enabling relative rotation about a vertical axis while maintaining structural integrity. Each platform serves as a dedicated standing surface for one rider's foot, typically measuring 12-14 inches in to provide adequate support and balance during stationary positioning. Bindings or adjustable straps are affixed to each platform to secure the rider's feet, preventing slippage and ensuring stability on the narrow surfaces, with one foot placed per platform in a sideways stance. The platforms are supported by four urethane wheels—two per platform—mounted on independent trucks that allow for articulation, akin to those on conventional skateboards but configured for pivoting motion without fixed directional constraints. Early prototypes utilized wooden decks for the foot platforms, constructed from simple square boards sourced from available materials to test basic design feasibility. Commercial production shifted to molded nylon resins, such as DuPont's ST801, offering superior flexibility, impact resistance, and durability for repeated use. Overall, the assembled snakeboard spans approximately 30-32 inches in length, with each platform around 8-10 inches wide to optimize maneuverability and foot placement.

Mechanics and Riding

Propulsion and Control

The snakeboard operates as a , where propulsion arises from the interaction between the rider's body movements and the board's constrained wheel dynamics, allowing forward motion without direct ground contact. The wheels' imposes nonholonomic constraints, meaning the board cannot move freely in all directions but can achieve net displacement through cyclic motions. This design enables the rider to generate forward momentum by oscillating the hips and torso, which alternates the orientation of the front and rear platforms relative to the central pivot, producing a serpentine path that exploits conservation. Control is achieved primarily through foot pressure on the bindings, which adjusts the angles of the front and rear wheel assemblies. By shifting weight—such as leaning forward or sideways—the rider causes the articulated pivot to rotate, redirecting the wheels to follow curved trajectories and enabling without external forces. Unlike conventional skateboards that require pushing against the ground for , the snakeboard relies solely on internal body-board dynamics, permitting uphill travel via continuous carving motions that maintain velocity through momentum transfer. At its core, the physics involves conservation of linear and within the coupled rider-board . The rider's remains effectively stationary relative to the board's average path over each cycle, as lateral deviations cancel out, resulting in net forward progress without dissipating energy to the ground. This principle, analogous to other nonholonomic vehicles like the roller racer, underscores the snakeboard's efficiency in converting oscillatory inputs into directed locomotion.

Techniques and Terrain Adaptability

Riders adopt a basic stance on the snakeboard with feet secured in footplates, typically in a parallel or slightly offset position depending on the individual's natural preference—regular (left foot forward) or (right foot forward)—determined by which foot leads when simulating a fall from a . Body weight is shifted side-to-side through and movements to initiate , with the rider's knees bent for stability and the arms used to guide direction. These techniques draw from the nonholonomic inherent to the board's design, allowing movement without foot push-off. Key techniques include carving turns, where riders alternate between a "crunch" position (toes pointed inward, leading arm reaching back to the trailing hip) and an "open" position (toes pointed outward in opposite directions, leading arm swinging forward across the body) to generate lateral motion and change direction. Pumping for speed involves fluidly linking these crunch and open phases in a rhythmic, surfing-like motion, compressing and extending the body to build momentum on flat surfaces without external push. Mounting and dismounting occur without pushing by placing the leading foot on the front plate first, followed quickly by the trailing foot on the rear plate, while stopping involves gradually reducing the rhythm or using the hand to drag the board. Advanced maneuvers leverage the board's pivot flexibility between the front and rear sections, enabling achieved by rapid weight shifts and arm swings to rotate the board 180 or 360 degrees, jumps performed by crouching and exploding upward while keeping feet strapped in (eliminating the need for an ), and slides where the board is angled sharply to skid sideways along edges or curbs. tricks, such as airs and lip stalls, are facilitated by the board's responsive , allowing riders to up the curved walls for vertical transitions similar to . Snakeboards exhibit strong terrain versatility on flat pavement, where and pumping provide efficient cruising, and slight inclines up to moderate grades (gaining through sustained pumping to climb), as well as ramps and urban obstacles like curbs or low ledges for tricks. However, they face limitations on steep hills beyond gentle slopes, where propulsion may falter without sufficient speed buildup, and rough surfaces like or uneven , which can disrupt the pivot mechanism and cause instability. Safety considerations are paramount due to the potential for high-speed falls from balance loss during dynamic weight shifts; riders should always wear helmets certified for impact , along with , , and to mitigate injuries from abrasions and impacts. Children require adult supervision, and beginners should practice in open, smooth areas to build control before tackling varied terrain.

History

Invention in South Africa

The snakeboard was invented in 1989 in by James Fisher, the lead designer, along with Simon King and Oliver Macleod Smith, three friends who were avid snowboarders and surfers motivated to develop a land-based board that could replicate the dynamic carving turns of their water and snow sports on pavement. Development began that year with hands-on prototyping, drawing on everyday materials to experiment with a dual-board design connected by a central pivot for enhanced maneuverability. The initial prototypes featured two wooden platforms—sourced from items like ping pong table sections—fitted with roller skate axles for wheels and a water pipe or lead pipe as the non-rotatable connecting member to enable snakelike motion. After multiple iterations focused on the pivot mechanism to achieve smooth, winding turns without foot contact, the team accomplished their first successful ride, demonstrating the board's potential for controlled through lateral body movements. Early testing occurred on local streets, where the inventors refined the design for better stability during sharp maneuvers, addressing issues like unintended wobbling through adjustments to the foot platforms and . To protect their innovation, the inventors filed a application in in 1989, establishing priority for subsequent international protections, including Australian patent AU626705B2 granted in 1992.

Commercialization and Global Spread

Skatex International (Pty) Ltd was established in , , in 1990 by inventors James Fisher, Oliver Macleod-Smith, and Simon King to handle the , marketing, and licensing of the Snakeboard following its prototyping in 1989. The company partnered with Clausen Plastics for production, utilizing ’s ST801 Super-Tough for the board's pivoting footplates and high-rebound wheels, with the first commercial units rolling out in November 1990. This marked the transition from handmade prototypes to scalable assembly-line , enabling rapid market entry. Licensing agreements accelerated global distribution, with Skatex granting rights to Snakeboard USA in 1991 for the North American market, where the boards began selling in December of that year through outlets like Paradise Beach Co. in , at $139 each. By mid-1992, approximately 3,000 units had been sold in the , primarily in and . Internationally, Skatex secured distributors in 26 countries by early 1994, including deals in ; for instance, PMS in the UK produced the licensed "Sydewynder" model, which achieved over 50,000 units sold by 1993. These partnerships facilitated entry into diverse markets such as Korea, , , , and by 1993, with further expansion targeted for , , and . The mid-1990s represented the peak of Snakeboard's commercial success, with over 110,000 boards sold worldwide by February 1994, generating R14 million in export value for Skatex. Athlete endorsements bolstered its appeal, notably from the Olympic Ski Team, which adopted it as a tool for balance and agility. Media coverage amplified visibility, including features in (February 1992) describing it as an innovative transport alternative for enthusiasts, and [Los Angeles Times](/page/Los Angeles_Times) (July 1992) highlighting its emergence as a novel with crowd-drawing demonstrations at retail events. Early contests emerged in 1992, with regional demonstrations and slalom events in —where inventor James Fisher set a navigating 21 pylons spaced one meter apart—and introductory competitions in the to build community interest. Snakeboard International's listing on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market in 1997 further supported this growth phase, attracting investment amid rising demand.

Decline and Modern Revival

Following the peak popularity of snakeboarding in the late 1990s, the sport experienced a significant decline due to several interconnected factors. In the late 1990s, there was a reverse acquisition of Snakeboard International by MV Sports, a UK-based company focused on toys and licensed merchandise, which shifted production toward lower-quality, mass-market products rather than innovative designs tailored to riders. This corporate mismanagement, combined with the expiration of the "Snakeboard" trademark in 2002, led to market saturation as generic imitations flooded retail outlets, diluting brand value and reducing investment in rider-specific advancements by the mid-2000s. By 2008, innovation had stalled, and interest waned as the sport struggled to maintain its distinct identity amid broader skateboarding trends. The expiration of the remaining snakeboard patents in 2011 marked a pivotal shift, allowing the activity to evolve into the generic term "streetboarding" without proprietary restrictions. This opened the door for rider-led initiatives to reclaim and revitalize the sport. Dimension Streetboards was established in 2001, and in 2002, a group of prominent riders—including Victor Murstig, Josh Mick, and Lamont Gundersen—acquired the core patents from MV Sports for an undisclosed sum to prioritize high-quality, rider-designed boards. Dimension's efforts focused on global distribution through key figures like Jay Nowman and Stef Tribe in the UK, Sergi Nicolas in , and Thomas Kienle in , helping to sustain an underground community during the lean years. The modern revival gained momentum through community-driven efforts post-2011, with increased organization of local events and a surge in online forums fostering knowledge sharing and custom builds. In 2022, Midnight Streetboards launched in the UK as a rider-centric brand, co-founded by Jay Nowman, Stef Tribe, and 16-time world champion Sergi Nicolas, assembling a global team that includes Thomas Kienle (), Pipo Grosso (), and Victor Murstig and Josh Mick (). This initiative emphasized innovative features like strap systems for enhanced control, contributing to what riders describe as the sport's strongest position in nearly four decades, bolstered by DIY modifications and digital visibility. The revival continued into 2025, highlighted by the Streetboard World Championships in , (July 19–20, 2025), which introduced new events like Air & Style, and the German Streetboarding Championships in , alongside the Bavarian Open, drawing international competitors and showcasing ongoing progression in disciplines such as slalom and freestyle.

Variants and Models

Original Snakeboard USA Models

The Snakeboard USA models were produced during the under the owned by Skatex International (Pty) Ltd., focusing on distribution within the market as part of the sport's early commercialization. These classic models typically featured wheel sizes ranging from 58 mm to 65 mm and various binding options, with production spanning approximately 1991 to 2000. The Viper served as an entry-level model with a basic deck, targeted at beginners entering the . The Competition was the inaugural Snakeboard model, designed for street and lacking straps or suspension for a straightforward riding experience. It included 62 mm wheels measuring 33 mm in width and overall dimensions of approximately 65 cm x 26 cm x 10 cm. The Professional model functioned as a mid-range freestyle board suitable for beginners, incorporating polyurethane (PU) suspension, small nylon plates, and an X-shaped bar for enhanced control during tricks and higher speeds. The Viper Pro and Pro variants represented advanced options with reinforced construction and stiffer pivots, intended for professional-level use in competitive and high-performance scenarios. The Pro X was a high-performance iteration featuring extended platforms and Zytel (DuPont polymer ST 801) material for durability, often dated to 1994 production. The Browser (also known as the Stud variant) was oriented toward street surfing, equipped with 62 mm wheels, 8 mm axles, PU suspension, a 470 mm X-bar, and robust nylon components for the axle housing and plates; optional straps were available but not advised for optimal performance. The Ashley Pro mirrored the Professional in design but upgraded to wooden plates, a brighter-colored bar, and aluminum axle housing for improved rigidity and aesthetics in freestyle applications. The Skinner catered to beginner freestyle riders, with specifications including 62 mm wheels, 8 mm axles, PU suspension, a 520 mm X-bar, aluminum axle housing, and durable nylon plates; straps were optional. It utilized Zytel (DuPont polymer ST 801) material and 62 mm wheels at 92A durometer. Specialized models addressed specific needs, such as the Loadie for heavier riders seeking added durability. The Stiffy targeted advanced freestyle practitioners, boasting 62 mm wheels, 8 mm s, PU suspension, a 520 mm X-bar, aluminum housing, and 9-ply crossed wood plates for superior strength; it combined Zytel polymer, wood, and metal construction with 60 mm Hyper wheels at 90A durometer. The Spluge emerged as a robust model for aggressive riding, emphasizing resistance with included PU suspension and recommended straps for secure footing.

Contemporary Streetboard Designs

Following the lapse of original snakeboard in the early , which opened the door to broader in the field, contemporary streetboard designs have emphasized to enhance user customization and portability. Brands such as Dragan Boards, founded in 2020, incorporate adjustable binding systems like the Quickset bindings, allowing riders to fine-tune fit for both cruising and trick performance without specialized tools. Similarly, Midnight Streetboards' Session model features a dial-based pivot system that enables quick assembly and disassembly using a single tool, facilitating easy transport and maintenance for urban riders. Material advancements in post-patent streetboards prioritize reduced weight and improved durability, with many models achieving overall weights under 5 kg through composites and optimized construction. For instance, the Snakeboard Comp 2.0 utilizes a durable all-plastic diamond-shaped connector bar for enhanced flexibility and impact resistance. Wheel sizes have evolved to 70-80 mm diameters, such as the 70 mm x 38 mm urethane wheels on the Comp 2.0, providing smoother rolling over urban surfaces and better absorption of cracks compared to smaller traditional wheels. These larger wheels, often at 82A durometer for balanced grip and speed, contribute to a more stable ride on varied . Key models from the revival highlight these innovations, including Midnight Streetboards' Session lineup, which integrates soft, ergonomic bindings for street-focused and off-season training. The Snakeboard Competition 2.0, released in the early , updates the design with a reinforced nylon-infused plastic bar for superior flex and longevity, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced users. Contemporary designs also draw from surfskate technology to lower the , promoting intuitive pumping and flow without requiring foot-off .

Competitions and Culture

Key Events and Championships

The earliest documented snakeboard contests emerged informally in around 1990, shortly after the board's commercialization in November of that year, as enthusiasts gathered to test the new design's carving capabilities on local streets and hills. These gatherings evolved into structured events by the early 1990s, with the sport reaching the via an expo appearance in 1992, sparking initial competitions among American riders focused on basic slalom and freestyle maneuvers. During the sport's peak in the , the International Snakeboard Association, tied to the brand's global expansion, organized key events including and slalom disciplines across and , drawing crowds with high-speed pylons and aerial tricks. National championships proliferated, such as the 1995 German Snakeboard Championships in Kötzting, where riders like Jan and Lohde competed in slalom finals, and the 1996 Championships in , emphasizing rehab-style courses. A highlight was the 1997 halfpipe world championship, won by Sebastian, who dominated with advanced spins and transfers in an event that showcased the board's vertical potential. The first recognized men's snakeboard world champion, , claimed victory earlier in the decade with the inaugural 720 rotation, setting a benchmark for technical progression. As corporate support waned, riders took initiative with the 2002 rider-run World Championships, organized by Victor Murstig and peers, which revitalized the scene through grassroots judging and diverse formats like street and bowl. This shift marked the transition to streetboarding nomenclature, emphasizing urban tricks over branded snakeboard events. In the modern era, the Streetboard World Championships have become the premier annual gathering since the 2010s, featuring street (urban tricks on rails and ledges), bowl (ramp-based transitions), and slalom formats. The 2010 edition in , , saw Sergi Nicolas win street and Gabi take halfpipe, highlighting international talent from . repeated as a dominant force, securing the overall world title in 2015 with innovative flips and grinds on a custom board. The series continued with the 2025 championships in , (July 19–20 at Skatepark), where free public entry drew global competitors for extended two-day battles across categories. In the men's street category, Mario Kurrle of took first place, followed by Bernat Pomerol of and Ismael Calvo of ; Thomas Kienle of won the men's bowl. Regional events complement the world circuit, including the Bavarian Open in , , which ran in 2024 at Olympiapark with slalom and jumps and expanded to double the space in 2025 (including a full Air & Style course with quarterpipes). The 2025 edition featured competitions in slalom and Air & Style, and is scheduled for 2026 at the same venue. The in (November 15, 2025, at Graystone Action Sports) focused on and bowl, with Sergi Nicolas of winning the street run, continuing the tradition of rider-driven innovation. These championships underscore streetboarding's enduring appeal, with slalom records—like James Fisher's 1992 mark of 21 pylons at 1-meter spacing—still referenced in contemporary contests.

Community and Cultural Significance

The snakeboarding community is characterized by a strong network of online forums and rider associations that foster knowledge sharing and camaraderie among enthusiasts. Active groups, such as the Snakeboard/Streetboard community established in the early , serve as central hubs where riders post videos, tips, and event updates, connecting participants globally despite the sport's niche status. In , efforts are underway to establish formal organizations like the German Streetboard Association to provide structured support for riders through training resources and event coordination. Prominent figures, including long-time rider Basti, who began snakeboarding in 1994 and is renowned for his technical tricks and custom board innovations, embody the community's enduring passion and expertise. Culturally, snakeboarding bridges elements of , , and , creating a unique carving motion that appeals to those seeking fluid, wave-like progression on land. This fusion promotes a non-corporate, , particularly evident in post-2008 events that emphasize rider-driven gatherings over commercial sponsorships. Competitions often act as informal hubs, strengthening bonds through shared sessions and skill exchanges. The sport's DIY spirit encourages modifications and personal expressions, distancing it from mainstream skate culture while building a tight-knit, inclusive rider base. Snakeboarding's influence extends to modern pivot-based boards, inspiring designs like surfskates that replicate its carving dynamics for off-water practice. Media has played a key role in its legacy, from VHS promotional tapes showcasing early tricks and street riding to contemporary revivals that document rider progress and event highlights. These formats have sustained interest, introducing the sport to new audiences via accessible online content. In its current status as of November 2025, snakeboarding enjoys growing participation across , particularly in , the , and , with events like the 2025 German Streetboard Championships and Bavarian Open attracting hundreds of riders through slalom and freestyle formats. This resurgence highlights an emphasis on inclusivity, welcoming participants of all ages and skill levels to promote accessibility and lifelong engagement in the sport.
