3 Summer Snowboarding Alternatives
Just because the off season comes doesn't mean the fun of snowboarding has to stop. Here are three boards that are designed to simulate the feel snowboarding. Any of these boards can be used by snowboarders to hone their skills and train during the off season.
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 flowboard doesn't have trucks on it. Instead there are seven wheels side by side in a curve. This enables the flowboard to carve up to 45 degree turns. The flowboard is a great board for carving down roads.
Tierney Rides makes a simple yet effective snowboard simulating board called the t-board. It is a simple design that has only two wheels set on caster trucks. Carving on a t-board feels similar to how a snowboard feels when it is on an edge in the 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!
With the flowboard, t-board, or the freebord you can experience the thrill of snowboarding in the off season and snowboard all year round.
