Freebords "snowboard the streets"
Anyone ever seen or heard of these? they look like a blast. I bet the wheels wear out extremely fast though.

yeah...they've been around forever. I tried one about 8 years ago. I've skatboarded since a little kid and find it difficult to ride
|
They have a brutal site setup, and their descriptions of the actual products arent that great. And yeah, i bet you do go through a lot of wheels on those things.
|
I think i'll just stick to longboard then! I had no idea these have been around for so long, I thought they were relatively new. Just saw the video and didn't look much into it
|
I feel like its a rip-stick and a long-board in one. I think it would be hard to not catch an edge and go down hard on the pavement?
|
my buddy owns one and that thing scares the heck out of me. go get one their fun if you have the balls to go that fast
|
I saw a demo of these years ago. Looked cool. I tried to ride it and it was difficult. Never really caught on it seems like. GOod idea though.
|
There was a kid riding one of those around my neighborhood the other day. Now I know what he riding. First time I'd ever seen one. Looks a little sketchy
Kinda makes me wanna get one and go bomb some parking garages though |
