    Talking Freebord

    Hi! I'm a skater/surfer and I'm about to start freebord very very soon (I love snowboard, but I live in Portugal so...)

    I just wanted to start a thread to know if anyone here rides one, and your opinion about it, share experiences, etc.

    Cheers!!!

    So far it’s almost impossible to learn and I’m bedridden and can’t really walk or stand up straight after trying to grit it out through the early learning knocks.

    So, not going great.

    Freebord

    Just get a real skateboard. That shit looks crazy. Get a real skateboard and learn to power slide and learn how to bail. Start small. Why do snowboarders keep trying to re-invent the skateboard so that it’s more like a snowboard?

    Because we like to ride hills, and being able to control speed and stop at will makes riding hills a lot less sketchy?
