Skating reimagined

A totally different and fun way to ride. Cruise, carve, dance, bomb. With a little practice you'll be turning heads and bending minds. They're pure FUN.

The most fun way to skate

Alterskate trucks rotate with your feet, allowing you to steer, carve, turn on a dime, and power up or downhill like a snake.

Remember the snakeboard? Alterskates are part of the streetboard family that includes snakeboards and a few other designs. Snakeboards are no longer manufactured, but they ride very similar to the Alterskate, so your skills will easily transfer. Unlike snakeboards, the Alterskate trucks rotate 360° so you can turn tighter and do spin tricks.
