Did they stop making pivotboards? And why are so many snakeboard web links inactive?

Joel

I never ever saw them, but would love to try one out.
Let's see if we can start a "Let us have a go on a Grosso Board" Group.
I did originally look to buy one when 1st browsing boards, but couldn't find one anywhere.

Anyone else for input on this?

Grosso, to my knowledge, are no longer producing boards, but still produce bindings.

The reason snakeboarding site links are dead, is because snakeboard was a brand name, and once that went down, nobody used the name anymore. The two most commonly used names for the sport are now Streetboard and Pivotboard.

Rumor has it that there are at least 3 new board companies starting in the next 12 months. All good things to look forward too.


Trick, out.

Exciting!!!

From what I hear those boards were awesome, made of some foreign wood that was very stiff. Maybe we could get Pipo to make us all a small batch, that would be a good group, I do know he sell a cheaper pivot board from china. We need more companies.

Grosso Boards were made from a Brazilian hardwood, called Guatambu.

The secret of the streetboards they produced being so stiff, was because the wood was glued with epoxy, instead of using wood glue, and the wood also had a layer of fiberglass, then a layer of formica, either wide of the wood core. This made for super stiff, super long lasting boards.

I think I almost have a complete board I could put together somewhere, but the bar is super worn, considering I had that same bar for like 2 years or so.
