Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. 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 his/her feet in and out in conjunction with the shoulders and hips- the rider is able to propel the board in any direction using only his/her body weight. This transfer of energy is called non-holonomic locomotion. The board moves in a motion similar to that of a snake, hence the sports original name of snakeboarding. The rider of a snakeboard can ride the board on almost any terrain depending on the set-up and model of board and even propel themselves up-hill and perform extreme stunts similar to those done by skateboarders & snowboarders. Snakeboards allow the rider to gain momentum without the need to push themselves with their feet like skateboarders. Quoted directly from the Snakeboard patent Abstract and Claims: "This invention relates to a skateboard comprising two footboards each of the footboards including a foot platform and wheel-set which carries two wheels in axial alignment fixed to the underside of the platform.
