Which device for the mountains?
SANKIboard - is the first full-blown snowboard suspension in the World. All you need to enjoy your ride - is your snowboard, bindings, boots and this innovative system, that amortizes all bumps and pits on the trail.
- You don't depend on a whims of nature and conditions of tracks.
- Minimization of muscle "clogging" effect during long riding.
- Absence of hard-hitting on landing.
- Minimization of riders' occupational knee and spine diseases.
- More stable carving due to unsprung weight.
- The gap lets you avoid the contact of your boots and the slope during agressive carving.
- Universal suspension integrates with any type of snowboard bindings.
- And the most important, is a unique opportunity to use it as a personal bench without fear to freeze your ass of)).

The gear kit
includes 2 flat springs, 2 fixing racks, set of clamping plates and standart metric fittings
and could be easily installed by only one usual allen key.
For SANKIboard PRO kit we use fiberglass and wood, reinforced by carbon and the aluminium alloy. All together it provides low weight 2,4 kg with high reliability.

How to carry it around?
SANKIboard can easily fit in
the standard board case with snowboard and bindings in it. All you need is to remove the bindings from
the board and place them at different sides of the case.

At this stage, only M - size available, if your snowboard has 2x4 or 4x4 binding sistem, please, scale the space between inner and outer binding holes on your board. If the inner holes are not closer then 480mm and outer holes not further then 660mm, M - size will fit your snowboard.
If your Snowboard EST binding system, you do not have to worry about.
M-size designed for 70 - 90 kg rider.![]()
The brand got its name from the Russian word for санки (sanki), is translated as sled.
Inventing SANKIboard we've done a great job with a lot of victories and setbacks.
November 2013 - the idea appeared.
January 2014 - Partially successful test trial sample of plywood veneered with springs . Sample collapsed , but the principle is proved to work .The testing results were pending on the invention in Russia.
The year of 2014 was dedicated to the selection of construction materials and production sample with springs made of fiberglass.
May 2014 Have been granted a patent for invention in the Russian Federation (РФ 142401).
January 2015 Filing an international patent application under the PCT (still valid).
March 2015 Intermediate sample test, gettint to the next conclusions : it is necessary to use carbon fiber in the construction of platforms and springs. The first promo video.
2015 Testing technology options of individual parts . Developing the process chain of industrial manufacturing.
January 2016 Small series test sample confirmed the declared characteristics.

With your help we hope to move to a next level of mass production, where we can still keep the quality of proper small-production business. A further plan is to develop a professional version with the maximum use of advanced materials for boardercross athletes. Now we are in process of developing technology and creating design of the ski suspensions. We hope you join us and be the firt to get 30% discount for this breakthrough gear from the future!
Sergey Yarosh graduated from the Ural State Architecture and Art Academy in 1998. I have developed a wide range of monoroller skates to the concept of a warship with the architecture of low visibility (patent РФ 118289). In 2006 I became interested in snowboarding, which led to the idea of creating this suspension .
Special thanks to:
Igor Afanasiev (CJSC "CUB-A") for providing manufacturing platforms and equipment for producing first samples in the initial period .
Sergey Lozhkin and Denis Logvinenko ("LAZY FRENDS”) for help with promo materials.
Alexey Kostromin ("Yellow Snow") for help with promoting the idea of snowboard suspension in the Ural region .
Yulia Plekhanova and Mikhail Zhurov for communicating with the global Internet community.
Anastasiya Sokolova for taking care of our lovely daughter 24/7, while I was enthusiastically worked on a designing this suspension.
Anatoly Ivanov, my Тeacher.
