Wen I arrived in Lyon, I asked to the best riders to show me their favourite local spot. So we drove for 30 minutes and arrived in the middle of the the famous Cotes du Rhones vineyard, on a prety sick spot.

The very good European blog Snowbroader.eu launched its ‘End of Season’ party in Lyon last Saturday.

For sure, Arnaud and a few of Lyon’s Freeborders were there. Nice music, good people, very fun!

Check out this video of old skooler Dan Bomze riding one of the earliest Freebord prototypes, the first model that could actually slide and ride the way Freebord founder Steen Strand believed it could. Dan was one of the original testers, along with Danny Baldonado and Phillipe Manoux.

Filmed in Palo Alto, CA circa 1996.

Freebord is happy to announce its partnership with V7 Distribution, one of the premier distributors in France. V7 carries Freebord among other brands like Es, Emerica, Etnies, Forum, Thirty Two, Birdhouse, Destructo and many more.
