Snowboard is a special vehicle allowed only during Christmas Downhill event that usually happens in the end of December. Every year since 2017, Snowboard is one of three available choices in Christmas Event along with Sled and Doughnut.
Description[]
"Smooth tricks and extreme stunts! Hold down and release both pedals to jump."
Vehicle overview[]
Today, Snowboard is the only christmas vehicle that is not instantly unlocked. However, it is still not so hard to get it!
All christmas sleds including Snowboard can't be upgraded and do not have any paints. Default Snowboard is green.
Snowboard doesn't need to collect fuel just like other christmas vehicles. It is probably the hardest to control, but in the hands of a master, Snowboard can be great! Unlike Sled, Doughnut and Jump Shocks tuning part, to jump, you need firstly to hold both pedals and then release them. Just like Lowrider, it requires more time to charge, but Snowboard jumps much higher than other special christmas vehicles!
Snowboard is often considered as the slowest out of all christmas vehicles, that's why it is not so popular.
