Alter your skate of mind

A unique swivel-style board for carving downhill, cruising the flats, and doing tricks.

Skating reimagined

A totally different and fun way to ride. Cruise, carve, bomb. Once you try it you won't be able to stop.

The most fun way to skate

The 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 pivotboards. 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.
