How to make a Snow Skate - Like a Boss

[ninja1518]

i use just a board

[no3011]

nice. if i find my old skateboard im going to make on of these =)

[jcbbulloch09]

So you could by a snowboard, or make this thing!???

[chimpofm]

@jcbbulloch09 yep eather spend 200 quid or so. or make one of these, its epic fun, it light and easyer to carry and i paid nothing for it. why spend when you can make :) btw our snow edit comes out this friday.

[chimpofm]

nows the time to build one of these - share this video!

[DiederikPolydore]

@chimpofm I just made one, damn it rocks

[chimpofm]

@DiederikPolydore ive been out on it all day, wait till u see the new design

[bizzurman]

it's all fun and games untill someone gets nutted by the metal bar...

[chimpofm]

@bizzurman lol ur thinking to deep here, the only chance of injury is faling off, the new edit is out next week

[bizzurman]

@chimpofm lol, too deep... pun intended?

[maartenenjeroen]

ok thnx

[maartenenjeroen]

Does it work's with glue instead of screws?

[chimpofm]

@maartenenjeroen i wudnt, ive riped bolts out.glue wont last long.

[RandomDudes4life]

2:17 what is he doin' ?

[chimpofm]

@RandomDudes4life measuring ;)

[MrThomasAgf]

This is awesome.

I just made mine, but used 10*10 mm pipes :)

Can't wait to take it for a ride, snow just covered Denmark today!

[skatingthefalls]

you cant just buy one?

[rs2nika]

@skatingthefalls wow sht the fuck up why dont you think that someone cant afford one ?

[skatingthefalls]

@rs2nika man i wasnt saying it like that, so quit acting tough, i was just wondering if you were doing this for fun or if you just didnt have a real one. relax and drop the tough guy attitude. I wasnt bieng a dick, chill.

[brooklynsmostbest]

How are you gonna turn?

[chimpofm]

@brooklynsmostbest by reading previous comments.

[jhannibal24]

hey love this vid. what r some other materials you could use besides the metal. pvc? wood?

[chimpofm]

@jhannibal24 yeh dude almost anything, lolypop sticks, pvc tubing. copper tubing, strips of plywood or plastic. anything thats strong.. smooth and bendable

[jhannibal24]

@chimpofm thanks. also, is it easy to carve/turn with it? and what snow conditions does it work in?

[chimpofm]

@jhannibal24 yep. works on wet grass all the way up to deep snow

[remyleouf]

Thanks

[promatz]

DONE :) awesome

[chimpofm]

With all the snow coming , make ur self one of these snowboards!

[promatz]

Cool :)

[promatz]

How long did you do that snowskate? :P

[chimpofm]

@promatz this video took 30 mins to make, i made my 1st snowskate 3 years ago,

[Stebbben]

You can't carve with this. going down a real snow resort without slowing down is HIGHLY dangerous. not even the pro's go down straight, there's steel in a snowboard for a reason, to carve and what not.

[chimpofm]

@Stebbben u are mistaken we have had no trouble carving it.or stopping, see the videos. theres steelin the snowskate for a reason, thanx for the message

[TynanOfficial]

like a bowse*

[tagsandin]

instead of screwing the straps on, drill an 8mm hole and use skate bolts but the wrong way round. This way you can take the straps on and off easily deepening on how u want it.

[TheWickedEnd21]

im from the uk too, where would you get the 16 by 16 by 1 metal tubes?

[tagsandin]

@TheWickedEnd21 b&q sell em

[chimpofm]

@tagsandin yep about a 5er, in the metal section.

[chimpofm]

@TheqANDachannel its a good thing that i dont have a closet

[robot4e1234]

how can you stop with it ?

[chimpofm]

@robot4e1234 lol good question, i stop wen the hill stops. u can how ever just turn into the sloap/hill. or slide sideways. i dont like slowing down

[knowbystyle]

I love it... although im going to do without the straps.. Thanks for uploading!

[robot4e1234]

is it easy with this snowskate to make left right turns?

[chimpofm]

@robot4e1234 yes u can power slide to turn or tick tack turn/ kickturn

[finskate97]

doesn't the steel rust?

[chimpofm]

@finskate97 yep, bu some come plastic coated. or you could just paint em. i dont bother, the snow cleans off my rust.

[SuperOwnagevideos]

@chimpofm does it work with wood runners

[chimpofm]

@SuperOwnagevideos yep, long as their smooth :D

[Gladiatorvn1]

[Gladiatorvn1]

You have such an amazing video :-D

[sj44kie56]

[1306skate]

Would this work like a real snowskate like for tricks

[chimpofm]

@1306skate i personaly can varial kickflip mine, without straps but people do say the curves aint steep enuf on a normal deck,. u decide

[1306skate]

@chimpofm yea thats what i was thinking :/ but do you think if i raised it and put a ski on it would that work?

[chimpofm]

@1306skate yes if u had the ski. theres a tutorial on google on how to do that

[1306skate]

@chimpofm ok whats it called man and thanks so much for the help

[chimpofm]

@1306skate hang on lemme check,,if you google. how to make a snowskate. its the top one. muskokaramp

[brummie]

can you round off the runners so they are flush with the board or does that make them harder to controle? i just dont like the idea of spikes pokin off the front haha

[chimpofm]

@brummie ive never stabed my self on them , we also use them to get up snowy hlls. we advise you make wooden ''corks'' that fit in the runners that have a rounded points.

[brummie]

@chimpofm yer but your not me haha i managed to get myself coverd in boiling wax when i was makin some homemade skate wax. so im sure i will be able to fall on spikes lol but the cork idea sounds good.

[skatercarlo]

[chimpofm]

@skatercarlo nope long as the runners are on the bottom u can do what u want on top[ of the deck

[plutobbk]

[chimpofm]

[chimpofm]

I recommend you all watch this! and make one! dont forget to Share and thumbs up on this one please!

[EpicFlyingDude]

@chimpofm Haha thanks mate! I made one last year with the help of your videos... It doesn't work as good as yours of course, because i used thin (about 3-4mm) wooden strips as the blades and the screw heads pop out at the downside.. Any chance to get the screws out and put those iron blades on it? Also, how can you cut off screws? With a regular saw? Maybe I'll upload a video this winter!

Thanks mate, you should have had the chance to sell this to a company! Srsly why isn't this in stores yet?(:

[chimpofm]

@EpicFlyingDude yep u can cut screw with a saw, but if their long enuff just wack them with a hammer to snap them at the base,

[EpicFlyingDude]

@chimpofm Kay thanks man! 

[jayholley123]

nice
