Yo dudes. I am looking to buy a castor board or snake board, whichever is better.
My friend had one and we always used to go out and smoke cigs and ride around, and it was awesome. The only problem was that after a while the back wheel got ground down to almost nothing, so it no longer works (too well).
I have been looking around for a couple of days, and cannot seem to compare the different products out there too well. I am not in the know for skating shit, and I was hoping some people here could recommend a solid castor board or snakeboard, whichever is better.
I'm looking for something nice, that's not going to break (like a kids toy), with replaceable wheels or wheels that aren't going to get ground down just cuz you carve downhill a lot. I'm not necessarily looking for a lightweight one, but if that's what the "pros"
LOL: pro-ripstickers) use, then I guess that's what TheDude shall use.
As far as I can tell, the only difference between a Castor Board and a Snake Board is that the castor has 2 wheels while the snake has 2 wheels on each truck (4 total) like a traditional skateboard.
As of yet, the only ones I see sold in stores are made by Razor, a company that is notoriously overpriced. They also don't really make anything above kid-level products. I don't want to spend 80 bux on a ripstick unless it's going to be really nice.
So, suggestions?
