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.
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.
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 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.
All of these boards simulate in some way the thrill and experience of snowboarding. Don't let the lack of snow, or even the cost of lift tickets keep you from having fun.
Ride a flowboard, t-board, or a freebord and get a taste of snowboarding without paying for a lift ticket, or having any snow around. Pick a paved hill and ride on!
