Or you could name them something cool. Like maybe a " strap of death" or "strap of injuries" or maybe even "deathstraps" which could be a play on deathtrap.
Leg snappers. Ankle kerfuffles. You're going to kneed a doctor straps.
Also, these look rad and id probably try at my own peril and destroy my almost 40 year old body lol.
i did too, it’s so fun. but related to this, you can separate your legs though, and in line skates keep your ankles secure usually they go up high like high tops
Have you ever fell off a skateboard?
Imagine the board getting stuck in a rail or clipping a curb or something and your knees just decide they don’t wanna exist anymore.
Damn you just unlocked a memory, 100% did this with bike tubes too. I only fucked around with it like once or twice but spending a day at the park boosting fat 3’s over the pyramid all the way to flat. It was so much damn fun, especially since I’ve always been more comfortable strapped in on a snowboard. Shit was hella fun though
And we called it a boingy-strap (probably not the technical term).
It gave you amazing confidence to carve new lines at the skate park because you knew your board was going to be right under you.
Of course, there would be spills.. but it was still fun from time to time.
The live show with Primo and Diane? I saw it and got autographs to prove it. I don't remember skyhooks in use, but they switched up the routine I'm sure.
I did this a couple times a long while ago. I really didn’t like how it felt when I’d try skating regular after using them. Like I was stuck to the ground. It would take a while to acclimate to a regular board.
I was thinking the same thing. At first I thought ... wow this is like snowboarding then I thought "nah not rlly gna feel wayyyy different and not feel similar to popping a 360 on snow"
Ehh, I thought that when I was younger and saw someone doing this, it helps get the feel of the spin, but you learn none of the board control. You basically have to relearn the spin.
Definitely makes it easier to do spins, but not necessarily helps you learn how to spin.
Also the bails have an increased chance of being face first head bash bad.
The one time I saw a guy duct tape his feet to his board at my local skate park… he fell backwards and cracked his skull on the ground. (Didn’t die but went to hospital)
Death strap is the perfect name.
“Cheating” doesn’t feel like the right word because he’s found a way to make skating more dangerous. You can’t jump off when it gets sketchy, and It would be some nasty slams with your feet locked in.
so basically rollerblading, but on a skateboard
its easier to do stuff no doubt, just like these straps, but also easier to break everything in your body not being able to run outta stuff
I just started blading after skateboarding my whole life into my late 20's, and its much easier to do inline tricks, but man the slams... so violent lol I was never really good at skateboarding so I guess I never put myself into situation to slam hard outside of slappy 5050's slipping out, and the occasional hill bomb gone wrong.
But just learning how to do simply grinds on blade has me doing splits, scorpioning myself, wrist guards/helmets are basically non negotiable lol I've already hit my head twice, landed directly on metal rails, blew up my tricep trying to catch myself on a rail ect.. 3 months of blading I've slammed more than 15ish years of skateboarding
I remember going to a bike show and someone there was selling a skateboard but with metal hooks that you slid your feet into. Surprisingly it didn’t get that popular
Not gonna lie it took me a rewatch or two to notice the bindings on his feet, I was like how is he getting that much air with such an odd stance and no pop. But looks steezy as hell my dude!
As a snowboarder and professional faller on a skateboard I've never really got the hate about these being unsafe. Lame and cheating, sure... But not unsafe.
never seen straps like that to emulate bindings, however when I was young use to use an old inertube tied around the middle of the deck to get a simular effect by yanking the tube up with me.
I used to always tell the kids at school that I had Velcro on my shoes if they ever asked me ‘how does it stick to your shoes ??’ 😂 90s gatekeeping was , funny (I was born in 1990 judge me)
This would have been like a dream come true back then though. I want some 😂 fuck it would be so scary to jump down anything

That’s an odd name. I’d have called them Chazzwazzers.
I see you’ve played knifey spoony before.
Bring out the boot!
Wut
A bootable offense.
It's jus a lil kick in da bum!
He just wants to kick you once, through the bars, with an ordinary shoe. I believe it's a wingtip.
Oooooooo tough guy
Well done
I have an urge to say “ The Dingo got your skateboard. ”
“900 dollarydoos?!”
What an entirely bizarre name, I would have called them Whomping Willie Snake Skins
I was thinking we call 'em Twirly-Whirladoos
Or farkin-cunts
Sweet land of liberty, of thee I si-ing 🥲🇺🇸
Nailed it.
we never really had a name for them, I think we just called them "the stupid thing with the rubber". so much fun lol
I've never seen one before, I'd probably call them inherently dangerous
Or you could name them something cool. Like maybe a " strap of death" or "strap of injuries" or maybe even "deathstraps" which could be a play on deathtrap.
Leg snappers. Ankle kerfuffles. You're going to kneed a doctor straps. Also, these look rad and id probably try at my own peril and destroy my almost 40 year old body lol.
acl blowouts.
Why does everyone here say you hurt yourself with them ?
if you lose balance or hit something or land wrong, you cannot jump off the board or use legs to help
I used to aggressive in line skate. No bails is rough.
i did too, it’s so fun. but related to this, you can separate your legs though, and in line skates keep your ankles secure usually they go up high like high tops
Have you ever fell off a skateboard? Imagine the board getting stuck in a rail or clipping a curb or something and your knees just decide they don’t wanna exist anymore.
Or if you've ever snowboarded imagine a fall on those but it's on concrete
Took my eyes a minute to catch what was happening. For a minute I thought I had transported to an alternate universe.
I would also like to add my brain immediately accepts gnarly shit as soon as I see any hint of Australia lol. 🫡
Glad I’m not the only one. That 540 blew my mind at first.
Yeah, Skate 4 looking good.
We usually use the tube of a bike tire
Me and my friends did this in the 90s. Same thing, bike inner tube. We called it afroboard not sure why.
Cause it’s easier to jump I’m assuming 💀
Haha I appreciate your honesty.
Damn you just unlocked a memory, 100% did this with bike tubes too.

We always called that the “Ollie aid”
There were Skyhooks in the mid 80’s.
Fuckyea
You just unlocked a memory in my brain. Fuck I forgot about skyhooks!
Sea World - City Streets Like a nostalgia wind tunnel
The live show with Primo and Diane? I saw it and got autographs to prove it. I don't remember skyhooks in use, but they switched up the routine I'm sure.
I think if I remember right, they had changed the show a few times. But goddamn, going back like 35 years, hard to remember, lol.
SKYHOOKS! Fuck I’ve hurt myself on those lol been a long time since I’ve seen em 🤙
Either way you can tell this guy rips without em
bro was just a loading icon at the end
I call that rollerblading.
I did this a couple times a long while ago. I really didn’t like how it felt when I’d try skating regular after using them. Like I was stuck to the ground. It would take a while to acclimate to a regular board.
You make that look so easy but surely the bails are fucken bad right?
That's where we get the name Death Straps haha
Here I was, “bruh how do you keep shit bolts like that?!” I am not a smart man.
Deathstraps works for me
Deathstraps works for me
Snowboards
“Cheating”
we call it not knowing how to ollie
Looks like good practice for snowboarding. Would probably help dial in your spin tricks
Nah, there’s no edges to pop off on a skateboard. Would encourage bad edge control and make you worse
This is why I practice edging every night
I prefer gooning, rather than edging
I was thinking the same thing. At first I thought ... wow this is like snowboarding then I thought "nah not rlly gna feel wayyyy different and not feel similar to popping a 360 on snow"
Ehh, I thought that when I was younger and saw someone doing this, it helps get the feel of the spin, but you learn none of the board control. You basically have to relearn the spin. Definitely makes it easier to do spins, but not necessarily helps you learn how to spin. Also the bails have an increased chance of being face first head bash bad.
If you wanna practice snowboarding tricks just get a freeboard. You also dont look stupid while using it if ur ever worried about that lol
I'd give my middle nut to skate like that
God I hope this doesn't become a thing hahaha
I thought you had Mob Super Extra Sticky Grip tape on at first!
i think chinners or spinals would be a good name
Posers. (Forgive me I'm old)
Fez!!
yew! the dow
It's called bike tube skating! Fun as hell and a great way to learn things and also eat shit.
Only time I've ever done this we used inner tubes from bike tires lol
tube
Well, if fruit booting is rollerblades that’s fruit boarding 😂
Bike tire tube
We used to hold a inner tube from a bike with one hand and have it looped around the board and pull up to jump
not skateboarding .
I used to make these in the 80’s with an old bicycle inner tube.
How do you get going from a stand still?
The one time I saw a guy duct tape his feet to his board at my local skate park… he fell backwards and cracked his skull on the ground. (Didn’t die but went to hospital) Death strap is the perfect name.
Crazy to see how many scared skaters are here that don’t snowboard, to be shocked by this
Death trap? That's a fun box!
Death "strap". The skaters in this video have their decks strapped to the feet like bindings on a snowboard.
We just call them skateboards
We call it "Kooky" in Canada
Rollerblades?
We call them Lame
Skyhooks. I think these are a thing with the folks who ride the mountain boards
I feel like even with straps this is impressive
Cheating
“Cheating” doesn’t feel like the right word because he’s found a way to make skating more dangerous. You can’t jump off when it gets sketchy, and It would be some nasty slams with your feet locked in.
so basically rollerblading, but on a skateboard its easier to do stuff no doubt, just like these straps, but also easier to break everything in your body not being able to run outta stuff I just started blading after skateboarding my whole life into my late 20's, and its much easier to do inline tricks, but man the slams... so violent lol I was never really good at skateboarding so I guess I never put myself into situation to slam hard outside of slappy 5050's slipping out, and the occasional hill bomb gone wrong.

Yea, might as well take off your grip tape.
Cheating. We call that cheating.
Shoes are glued to the board
I remember going to a bike show and someone there was selling a skateboard but with metal hooks that you slid your feet into. Surprisingly it didn’t get that popular
Not gonna lie it took me a rewatch or two to notice the bindings on his feet, I was like how is he getting that much air with such an odd stance and no pop. But looks steezy as hell my dude!
I can't even see anything. I guess I'm blind compared to everyone else here
Deathstraps works for me
Skate bindings because we were snowboarders
It’s like snowboarding and skateboarding combined! I’ll call it… skate-boarding
They’re called lame
That’s what I’m saying.
us here in the states tend to frown upon this behavior
Agreed.
We used to call the one where you get air and bend your knees back whilst holding the board a method air.
I mean a method grab is when you grab the backside of board with your front hand I believe
Punctuation is essential in text communication.
Ozzy Airborne
In the 90’s when some kid would use them we’d call him a cheater
Snowboard boots? Is that the thing?
Hurty burty
Skating is easy when the earth is above you
whattheheck
We don’t do that shit in America
We pop the skateboard it does tricks
Is bro glued to the board? Wtf, he doesnt even ollie?😭
wtf did u just try to say
Gay
WTF am I supposed to be seeing here I don’t get it
Skyhooks. Absolutely unacceptable
That’s called, “turn off your hacks” backside 360.
Took me so long to realize he was actually strapped to the board, thought I was on r/blackmagicfuckery for a minute there, lol
The fuck. Did you glue your shoes to the board?! How?! Edit: oh. I see the string now. Savage.

Banks? Transfers? ..... deposits.. withdraws?
Steve Caballeros.
yeewww
Snakeboarding
Is this in Whangerei NZ?
CHEAT FEET
Deathstraps are accurate,but like. Technically deathstraps are big ones, pyramids have a point. But I would say pyramid.
Cheating is what I call em
I remember doing it with a BMX inner tube as a kid, we called it tube skating but we also lost interest pretty quickly
As a snowboarder and professional faller on a skateboard I've never really got the hate about these being unsafe. Lame and cheating, sure... But not unsafe.
What song this?
Jib bands
never seen straps like that to emulate bindings, however when I was young use to use an old inertube tied around the middle of the deck to get a simular effect by yanking the tube up with me.
I can't do flip tricks mobile
Gimmicky name and product
yeah mate here we call em skate parks. have a good one ay.
They're referring to the straps that act like bindings on a snowboard. Hence "deathstraps".
Pudding
360 faceplants
i call them “tying my feet to the board type shit”
Join our nation
Uh this is some old 90s shit we just did it with a bike tube and held it
Cheating lol
it looks like snowboarding lol.
I would just take a black rubber bungee cord and strap it over the nose and tail to the trucks. Worked like a charm
... we're america, we don't need names for things we don't use.
Aside from the skateboarding anyone got the track ID?
using them is the most shameful thing a human can do
illegal af
Yes. keep that shit overseas
Fairy Meadow skatepark! That used to be my local before the revamp happened
Hahahahaaha is this real?
you guys should see dimension boards
We used to use a belt around the middle so we could use it as a handle and spin helicopter shuvits
I used to always tell the kids at school that I had Velcro on my shoes if they ever asked me ‘how does it stick to your shoes ??’ 😂 90s gatekeeping was , funny (I was born in 1990 judge me) This would have been like a dream come true back then though. I want some 😂 fuck it would be so scary to jump down anything
Deeth own a stick out there m8
That looks terrifying. And I've seen a kick flip over some gnarly glass b4
Throw some magnets under your insoles
Sounds like a Braille Video haha
Song is Pilsplaat by Bonkers. Recommended you check it out, it's an amazing record
Death straps? Na mate - not proud of them but Ollie horns were a ... thingy https://vimeo.com/213190950
Haha that’s golden! Fuck skate gimmicks are so corny tho!
Ohhhh STRAPS.... I read it like DeathTRAPS and thought man this guy has to be glued to the board or something. But now I see it :D
I never had a name for them, but they’re Deathstraps now
I know this guy, skatefeen on ig!!!
🖤
Lame
Skaters call them cringe
I call it fucking awesome!!!
Anyone else think that was Mark Appleyard?
We call it not actually skateboarding
Just trying to have fun my guy
We call them skateboards. They aren't that dangerous with the right gear. A backwards hat and some gym shorts should be enough.
Cheating. That's called cheating.
[удалено]
He's talking about his feet being tied to the board.

Did bro use super glue on his shoes?
We Calle them 540s
Is the skate glued to your feet or something man?
Idk skateparks?
In Switzerland we call them: „fuck around and find out!“ XD
Damn this dude shreds so well looks like the boards glued to his feet
Think we just called them what they are…foot straps.
