Skateboarding and Snowboarding Collide in Ambition Snowskate’s New Film ‚DEADLOCK‘

It’s not quite skateboarding, not quite snowboarding, but it’s definitely super rad. The Ambition Snowskates‘ squad strikes again in their new film, ‚DEADLOCK‘. 

Ditch your trucks and wheels for a bit and hit the snowy streets in a different kind of way! Take a look: 

I remember when Ambition dropped a similar video years ago and basically broke the internet. Personally, I had never seen „snowskating“ in my life, and I’ll admit I was certainly a bit skeptical. But all it took was the first few seconds—the spots they were hitting, the tricks they were doing—to see the obvious influence skateboarding had on this unique subculture. 

To my pleasant surprise, it turned out that all of the dudes in the video were in fact skateboarders (honestly, it would’ve been hard to believe if they weren’t) and simply used snowskating as a way to get rad during the winter.

Over the years, they’ve dropped plenty of other bangers and I’ll always tune in. I’m a legit fan at this point! I will say, it feels way more like you’re watching a skate video than a snowboarding video, that’s for sure. Not that there’s anything wrong with snowboarding, either. I just can’t relate to it as much! 

But when I see dudes doing manuals on bright white pads and ollieing over handrails into snowy banks; or boardsliding out-rails and backside lipsliding icy ledges (all without trucks and wheels)—well, yeah… consider me intrigued! 

I was actually able to try one of these out a few years back, too, and had no idea how hard they were to ride! These dudes make it look way too easy, it’s sort of mind-blowing. And with each video comes an insane amount of progression. Like, they’re literally doing gap-to-grinds (slides?) on legit handrails. It’s unreal. 

Anyways, all I can say is you should seriously watch this video. I threw in one of their older clips above as well, in case you start to feel the same stoke I did when I first watched. Like I said… it’s not quite skateboarding, not quite snowboarding—but it sure is rad!
