Just because the off season comes doesn't mean the fun of snowboarding has to stop. Here are three boards that are designed to simulate the feel snowboarding. Any of these boards can be used by snowboarders to hone their skills and train during the off season.
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 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.
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.
All the above boards simulate in some way the riding experience in snowboarding. By riding one of these boards in the off season, you don't have to get stale because there isn't any snow.
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!
