It happens to snowboarders every year. The snow comes and they go out and have fun carving the slopes until the season ends. Then they put their snowboards away and wait for the snow to come. This year, break from the norm and keep your snowboarding skills fresh by checking out one of these snowboard simulating boards.
The first board, called the flowboard probably has more wheels on it than any other board currently in existence. Normal skateboard trucks only allow the rider to make up to 25 degree turns.
The truck-less design of the flowboard makes it capable of carving up to 45 degree turns. That is sharp when compared to the wide 25 degree turns of a skateboard. The flowboard is exceptional for carving sessions down paved roads.
The t-board, made by Tierney Rides is that many snowboarders use to train with over the summer. The t-board has only two wheels that are on caster trucks. The design of the t-board makes it ride like a snowboard does when it is on its edge in snow.
The last board that I'll talk about is called the freebord. While the other two boards simulate the feel of carving on a snowboard, the freebord simulates both the feeling of sliding and carving in snowboarding.
There are four wheels that extend outside of the freebord that simulate a snowboard's edge. With the edge you can effectively keep your speed under control, as well as stop just like you would on a snowboard. To reproduce the sliding experience in snowboarding, the freebord has two wheels located underneath it. With those wheels underneath it, you can drift into a switch stance when riding down a road.
Don't let your snowboarding skills deteriorate in the off season. With one of the above boards you can continue to improve your skills and prepare yourself for the next snowboarding season!
Ride a flowboard, t-board, or a freebord and get a taste of snowboarding without paying for a lift ticket, or having any snow around. Pick a paved hill and ride on! - 16887
