Freebord

[cnlax19]

any of you guys out there freebord?
it is a way to snowboard on the streets.
the board uses a castor wheel and some wide truck
It is by fr the best snowboard simulator


P.S.> (Check out freebord.com and look at some videos)

Thats pretty sick. I'd try it, but I can't skateboard for crap, so I'm not sure if I could do this.
How much are the bords?

[valax16]

That looks sweet but I'd be afraid of killing myself. I'm not very good at that type of stuff haha.

[bulldogslax]

Wow that looks sweet. In one of the videos a guy was going down a road and he almost smashed into a car lol

[cnlax19]

ya, i got one, they are so cool.
they ride like a snowboard on the street, so the castor actually enables you to speed check (slow down)
A free bord is a lot safer and more fun than a regular skateboard.
(they are $200)

they look pretty cool....only if i had 200 dollars

if only it snowed in north carolina.... then i wouldnt be stuck with freebording..AKA good way to get hit by a car.

[cbstringers]

that looks sick im obsessed with snowboarding so im defenatly gonna get one of those

[Titanoh]

Yeah...I wouldn't take that on a public road.

[jtothep213]

I have used one a good many times and parking garages make for killer runs.
when you are done you just take the elevator back up and do it again...

[cnlax19]

ya, the headquarters is in San FRancisco, so they got some killer hills and killer traffic.

[laxattack09]

how are the sizes? like if your not over 5 8 is it gonna be to big for you?

[bulldogslax]

I wonder how riding on a flat road would be because I live in Michigan and I'm interested in one but dont wanna shell out $200 if it wont ride good on mainly flat roads.

[navylax161]

that looks really cool, but me and snowboarding arent too crazy about each other.

[kevidinho]

woah thats pretty sick..if you know how to snowboard is it easy to catch on to?


also can you use them like a regular skateboard if you are riding on flat land?

[cnlax19]

laxattack-i ride a 75 (im 5'1") there is also a 77, an 80, an 83, an 85, and an 87.
Bulldogslax- in the beginning they are awkward on flat, but what you need to do is keep your front foot to one side when pushiing so u dont slip out on the castor.
kevidinho- Yes, I started riding on November 30, and i picked it up quick, and it improves your snowboarding especially switch.
P.S. (REad my response to bulldogslax)

is it ok if im like 5 3 but get a size 80? or should i get the 77

[Titanoh]

Not many hills around here Oviedo.
I'd say 80 so you can grow into it.

[cnlax19]

is it ok if im like 5 3 but get a size 80? or should i get the 77

if you still are gonna grow, i'd say an 80, but if you are into freestyle, and want a little growing room, u might want a 77.

I used to freeboard and longboard a lot. Tons of fun, but my friends quit riding. Just would bomb random hills. Wear a hillmet my friend got messed up pretty bad.

I longboarded mostly in Indian School ditch, think 1.3 mile downhill perfect halfpipe. Google it.
