3 Ways To Snowboard in Summer
It happens to snowboarders every year. The snow comes and they go out and have fun carving the slopes until the season ends. Then they put their snowboards away and wait for the snow to come. This year, break from the norm and keep your snowboarding skills fresh by checking out one of these snowboard simulating boards.
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 truck-less design of the flowboard makes it capable of carving up to 45 degree turns. That is sharp when compared to the wide 25 degree turns of a skateboard. The flowboard is exceptional for carving sessions down paved 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 simulates snowboarding is called the freebord. This board simulates both the sliding and the carving experience in snowboarding.
Extending out past the deck of the freebord are 4 wheels (two on each side) that are there to simulate the edge of a snowboard. This "edge" lets you control your speed like you would on a snowboard, and even come to a stop as you would on a snowboard. On the bottom of the freebord are two wheels that allow it to drift and slide, so while you are bombing down a hill you can slide into a switch stance.
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. - 2368
