Every Third Thursday: Adaptive Snowboard Reinvented
Dave Lee and the Signal Snowboards crew are back tackling a new hybrid snowboard project that’s inspiring on many levels. This month’s challenge is to merge Signal snowboards technology and Crankbrothers Mountain bike component technology to create a new next-level custom adaptive snowboard customized to get a new crew of shredders on the hill. The motivation for the build is personal—in 2000, good friend and pro snowboarder Tim Ostler was paralyzed from the chest down in a halfpipe snowboarding accident. Despite maintaining an athletic lifestyle, Tim hasn’t been snowboarding since. Watch as the crew build one of the most rewarding boards to date and, after a few setbacks, succeed in getting Tim back out riding with his friends on Every Third Thursday. We encourage you to push this video forward and share it with everyone you know! How cool would it be if this ETT finds its way into production. So, hit play and let’s all Raise The Bar and give some serious thought to the Next Level Adaptive Snowboard!
That’s amazing. Prob my fav so far
amazing!! id love to have a go of that. I wonder if they’ll keep tweeking it to make a commercial version?
I’ve always wante4d to try a sit ski, but thats next level. I reckon there would be a market if they perfected it and had them for sale
This is one of the most heart-warming, amazing things I’ve seen in a long time. It must have felt so good for Tim to be carving again, I can’t even begin to imagine how devastating it would be to lose mobility in your body and to be cut off from snowboarding.
That one is awesome!
A very inspiring story. I really enjoyed watching this one.
He’s happy so I am… 
Good on ya ETT
Cool idea, but I don’t see too much difference to a sit-ski…and a sit-ski seems about a billion times more practical.
beautiful!
That is pretty awesome, Tim Ostler looked mad stoked!
Thats so cool.
