Snowboard Wax

If you are like me and you happen to live in an unfortunate place which doesn’t get snow and so the only time you get to snowboard is when you go on a trip or season,… well then this is for you!

Freebords are simply the nuts. You have more than likely heard of longboards, the elongated version of skateboards. Well, longboards are supposedly known for their similarity to surfing. Great for surfers who can get to the waves or when there just isn’t any. So what about for snowboarders who have no snow? Welcome the Freebords!

At first it may seem impossible to be able simulate snowboarding on concrete via a skateboard style system, but the guys who have created the Freebord have got it cracked. It’s hard to understand until you see it in action. Jump over to the Freebord website and check out the video clips: www.freebord.com

Here’s a little exert from Freebord Manufacturing, Inc.

Snowboarding is a mix of carving and sliding motions, but conventional skateboards aren’t designed to slide. Freebord changes all that. You can hug a tight turn or drift a long, gentle slide; slide the board into fakie or float a 360. Right down to the feel of its weighting and edging, the Freebord ride is snowboarding on land. Master a trick on the street, then take it to the slopes next winter.

Freebord’s inner two wheels simulate the snowboard’s base–using spring-biased casters that can swivel 360 degrees–while the outer four wheels simulate the snowboard’s edges. By keeping weight over the board’s edges you can carve turns. As you apply more weight to the base, your board will start to slide. To execute 180’s and 360’s, unweight your edges.
