There is a total new thing available now for winter sports which can totally revolutionize the profile market- it is the so-called “switchboard”.The double-hinged Switchboard could be seen as a natural evolution of the snowboard, but until that is proven, it could potentially end up as the kick-scooter of the ski slopes. This product from Holland is certainly an interesting one and it is worth trying the experience.

The Venomsnow Switchboard will feature a couple of short woodcore boards that are joined end-to-end on a double hinge, featuring lightweight footstraps on top, twin skates at the bottom of the rear board, and an aluminum steering bar on a pogo stick-like suspension unit which is mounted on the front board. The main idea behind the double hinge action is to enable switchboarders to bend the board up and down, as well as left or right in the middle to carve tight curves whilst following bumpy terrain. The inclusion of the steering bar is a great idea since it allows riders to initiate turns and haul the front end up in jumps. As for the suspension unit, the chances are it will help minimize the impact on your knees whenever you land a jump. It features a pair of loose straps front and back that enable your feet to slip in easily, even if you’re wearing nothing but a pair of simple sneakers. The back footstrap is mounted to a pivoting turntable, allowing your foot to twist to different angles for maximum comfort and handling. Just like a skateboard, the switchboard allows you to take your back foot off to kick yourself along as you’re going to gain more momentum. Whenever you need to store the switchboard, just fold down the hinged setup into a compact, portable size.
