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 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 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.
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.
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!
