Hey GustaveCo! I agree wholeheartedly.

Yeah, I always try to find anything positive to say but this looks real dumb.
They keep using the word “fun” throughout the entire video but I fail to see it materialize in the use of the board.
It’s to clumsy and slow.

As I read my own comment above I realize that it’s only to clumsy and slow to be an alternative to a snowboard but make it wider, put a chair and a proper handle on it and you’ve got something that old people can use to move around in snowy conditions.

I disagree. There’s potential here.

It’s clumsy, slow and lacks any kind of resemblence to a snowboard, save that it’s a board that you stand on. They compare it to a snowboard but you can’t ride with this thing down real slopes, or do good jumps as with a snowboard. It totally lacks the grace and agility of a snowboard.
The only use I see with this thing is on long flat catwalks for lazy people or for kids that aren’t old enough for a snowmobile.

I agree, not cool and not useful in this form. And yes Claudio, it does have potential. But it’s not the first idea with a board on snow, so ‘potential’ doesn’t quite cut it for me.
Is this even Toxel-worthy?

Well if you get bored you can flip it over and use it as a planer. Good times.

my 3 year old could have blast with this one.. that’s how far it can go…
all pics the guy wears a helmet, is it cause he is too embarrassed to show his face? I dont think it is due to safety issues.. ha ha!

it would have some use in those ski resort wehn they have to seek for lost people and they can’t use normal snowmobile for some reason.

If it works, this looks perfect to make/pack down trail/tread in snow for cycling with a fat bike. Our club maintains trails and packing with snowshoes is tedious. Three questions, although I can see the posts here are old.
1) Are they still being made?
2) Are these available in Canada?
3) How much do they cost?
