This year, don't let the off season make you stale. Just because it has come doesn't mean you have to let your snowboarding skills go to waste. In this article you will find three kinds of boards that are made to carve and ride like a snowboard. Many snowboarders use any one of these boards to keep their skills fresh in the off season.
Traditional four wheeled skateboards can only make up to 25 degree turns. The snowboard simulating flowboard, with all it's 17 wheels, can make much sharper 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.
With only two wheels on caster trucks, the t-board does an excellent job reproducing the feel of snowboarding on snow, except on pavement. Tierney rides makes the t-board, which carves and feels similar to how a snowboard reacts when it is carving on it's edge on snow.
The other boards both do a great job simulating the carving experience in snowboarding. The next board I'll tell you about is called the freebord. It does more than just reproduce how it feels to carve on snow, by also bringing in the sliding experience in snowboarding.
The freebord has four outside wheels (two on each side) that simulate the edge of a snowboard. With the freebord you can control your speed and stop as you would on a snowboard. On the bottom of the freebord there are two wheels that make the board ride and slide similar to a snowboard. These wheels make it so you can slide and drift into a switch stance while riding down a hill.
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.
