The Sickos are a pack of YouTubers who make their living putting together ill-advised stunts, many of which involve riding cobbled together (and usually potentially dangerous) vehicles. Previous efforts have included riding a jet-powered surfboard, tow surfing behind an RC electric boat, and attempting to ride the world’s tallest foil board. This time, they decided to take a run at the slopes on the world’s longest snowboard.
Before the corrections start to roll in, the Sickos revealed at the top of the video that they fibbed a little in the title. The craft is actually just a few inches shy of truly being the world’s longest snowboard. However, the contraption is still pretty ridiculous, being made of two snowboards attached to each other and measuring in at a whopping 118 inches long.
When they managed to get the thing out on the slopes it… actually rode pretty well. There was a break in period, as the rider got used to trying to maneuver essentially a 10-foot longboard strapped to their feet. But once they got dialed in, the Sickos were shocked at how much control they actually had.
Of course, that meant they had to try to push the envelope even further. The “review” caps off with the group attaching a second rider for a tandem run. Obviously, the pair wasn’t going to win a competition anytime soon, but once again it was shocking how well it actually turned out. All in all, a victory for the Sickos.
