Zaskoda’s Snowboarding Journal

Last year I posted about a pavement board with a snowboarding like ride called the T Board. I was really stoked about the idea. Not long after, Froggie posted to DallasSnowboarders.com about the Freebord. It seems to be a much better option. Another member of the site, Sublivious, actually bought one and tried it out. It was a painful reminder of the lack of big hills in the DFW area! Still, he was able to get his groove on in various parking garages. Here’s the promo vid on the product:

It seems that the Freebord is the off-snow ride of choice. The biggest improvement of the Freebord over the T Board is the addition of side wheels what allow the board to lock in and hold a carve. It seems that it allows for a more natural carving motion - although I’ve not had a chance to try either. I do recommend watching the above video - it gives an awesome overview. The only thing I can’t get out of my head are the high speed wipeouts on pavement. Yeouch! Check out more on the official Freebord website.
