PHOENIX, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- RAILZ, a manufacturer and supplier of skateboard and snowskate products, is introducing a line of boards that allow enthusiasts to skate on snow. This winter, skateboard and snowboard shops across the country will be introducing RAILZ, "The Snowskate that skates." The RAILZ snowskates will allow skateboarders to ride and do tricks on the snow just like they do on the street, and with zero learning curve.

The RAILZ snowskate is different than snowboarding or other snowskates, because it utilizes standard skateboard trucks with four skis instead of wheels. This allows the RAILZ snowskate to skate on snow just like a skateboard on pavement. In short, if you can skate on pavement, you can ride a RAILZ snowskate on the snow.

RAILZ offers a short board, a long board and a conversion kit that allows you to convert your existing skateboard into a snowskate. The short board is a 32" Tech board for street and vert-type skating. These boards can ollie, kick-flip, grind and board slide just like their wheeled cousins. The long board is a 46" cruiser intended for bombing and carving down anything from packed snow-covered streets to runs at your favorite ski resort. The conversion kit allows you to convert your own skateboard into a RAILZ snowskate just by replacing the wheels with RAILZ skis.
