How To Learn to Snowboard With a Skateboard (Freeboard)

[@QuentinMestre]

Yes sir 🎉❤

[@brynleywm]

I think I might have met you here when the flea market was going on! if it was you thanks so much for letting me try your Summerboard I have been looking for a freebord on facebook market place since

[@easy_riders]

Yeah It was! Thats sick man, let me know when you find one. You'll probably want one with the Blue wheels as theyre a lot better than anything else.👌

Thankfully my Freebord 5x is back in shape again and I've been able to use it and practice on it! I think today I'll go out to the nearby zoo to ride down some of it's hills (one of which I would ABSOLUTELY consider to be a single black diamond in terms of difficulty and danger), but we'll see. 😊

[@easy_riders]

Awesome! Glad you finally have your set up back, which wheels are you using for the 5X? 🤔

[@justalpha9138]

@@easy_riders I'm using OJ III wheels for my edges and Boros for my center wheels.

Could you learn to do these w an sbx too? Looking to get one of these but also need a commuter board😊

[@easy_riders]

@@bubbert Ive beem trying, it definitely works ok but not as well. This could be a skill issue, ill make a video on it soon! 🤙

Those gosh dang fast spins are what I am trying to learn the most. They are SO difficult. I want to learn them so bad because not only does it look sick, but it also means that I'll look like I'm playing the Speed Racer videogame (the one for the Wii, PS2 and DS) in real life because you can spin the cars THAT quickly in the game!! 😅

[@easy_riders]

The fast spins are really cool, although quite dangerous if you're going fast 😅

[@justalpha9138]

@easy_riders I know! That is why I'm so nervous to practice them!

[@Thisisparadoxalstudios]

The idea of having my feet locked in on concrete just doesn't appeal to me. It looks hella cool bit it also seems way too dangerous. That's the reason why I've always felt like skying is closer to skateboarding than snowboarding even though the stance is different...

[@easy_riders]

Your feet are actually not locked in, theyre hooks and theyre really easy to kick out/ jump out off. Catching the edge is the rough part... 🤙
