  Snakeboard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A snakeboard is a board that was invented in 1989.
It evolved from the original skateboard, and brought with it elements of snowboards and surfboards.
Snakeboard is the name of the first company that manufactured boards of this kind, and since it was the only company at the time - The sport rapidly became known as snakeboarding.

 Is a Streetboard the same as a Snakeboard?
Unfortunately Snakeboard® as we knew it met it's demise shortly thereafter so the name Streetboard was not known by anyone other than the riders at the World Championships until years later.
This turned out to pretty much kill the entire sport, MV were not and interested in the sport at all, so they bought the name and the patent to put on their range of toy boards and other toys such as metal skateboards and micro scooters.
Since MV owned the Snakeboard® name it is easily understandable why the sports name had to be changed, not only to avoid being sued for illegal use of the name but also to get as far away from MV and their toys as possible.

Basically snakeboarding was invented in South Africa by a few people who wanted to bring snow boarding to the roads, the first snakeboard was crudely made from an old skate board and a piece of drain pipe, this design was then modified to what snakeboards are today.
Originally there was only one company called 'Snakeboard U.S.A', this company made several boards under their name but it wasn't until 'Anderson' (a different company) made a new board that the name Snakeboard was disputed.
This lead to all Snakeboard competitions having their names changed to 'streetboard' (except the ones organized by Snakeboard U.S.A) Sadly due to the fact that Snake/Streetboards are hard to come by (where I come from)you don't see as many 'snakers' as I'd like to.

 Streetboarding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is somewhat of a hybrid between a skateboard and a snowboard, and is a new evolution of the short lived Snakeboard brand boards.
The rider of a streetboard stands with one foot on each footplate, the feet are usually fixed to the board using foot-straps, and by moving his/her feet in and out in conjunction with the shoulders - the rider is able to propell the board in any direction using only his/her body weight.
Originally very different in design and known as snakeboards (because of the only company that produced them) these boards were originally designed as toys.

 Experiments in Snakeboard Locomotion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
Our snakeboard was built by graduate students Eric Faulring and Marin Zimbru as an ME 433 Advanced Mechatronics class project.
Our snakeboard has unique suspension-mounted "training wheels" which balance the snakeboard at all angles of the steering wheels, allowing it to spin in place.
In this video (quicktime, 964K) the snakeboard demonstrates two modes of locomotion: (1) The "snake" gait, where sinusoidal controls to the steering wheels and rotor cause the snakeboard to move forward; and (2) motions along decoupling vector fields, which are useful for fast motion planning among obstacles.

Eric Faulring and Marin Zimbru built a "snakeboard", a mobile platform which is driven by a reaction wheel.
The front and rear wheel are steered oppositely, so that the snakeboard always follows an arc.
None of the wheels are driven; motive power comes from spinning up and then reversing a flywheel, in synchrony with steering, so that the platform "slithers".

Analysis and simulations are performed for a simplified model of a commercially available variant of the skateboard, known as the Snakeboard.
As a first step towards understanding systems represented by our model we present the equations of motion and perform some controllability analysis for the snakeboard.
We also perform numerical simulations of possible gait patterns which are characteristic of snakeboard locomotion.
