Is the snakeboard good

Absolutely! You have 100% control over the board, and you can perform endless amounts of tricks with style & ease. Super fun! Just search YouTube for the video "Streetboarding - Enough Said!" and you will see how good they are!

You can ride snakeboards/streetboards everywhere a normal skateboard can be ridden; skateparks, vert ramps, streets, etc.

Just be sure to get yourself a good quality board with a good quality set of bindings. The moden snakeboards/streetboards look like mini-snowboards, and are made from plywood so riders can balance better on boardslides etc. The oldschool plastic boards are more unstable and wobbly and and are more dangerous.

NOTE: Be careful not to confuse snakeboards / streetboards, with ripstiks / casterboards. Ripstiks / Casterboards are ripoffs of snakeboards, and you can't do nearly as many tricks on them.
