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 flowboard is a snowboard simulating board that has lots of wheels. It certainly has many more wheels than any other board that I know of.
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.
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.
A flowboard, t-board, or freebord will bring the experience of snowboarding into the off season. Ride one and keep your skills sharp and get ready for the snowboarding season. You won't need a lift ticket to feel like your snowboarding again! All you'll need is a paved hill, and away you go!
