Now Those Were Slaps!!!!!

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Wow! Huge turnaround from last week! Your entries were over the top!

Props to tylerMURG, Manou, Matthew and Patrick, and Josh Young for solid contact!

tylerMURG- Great story line! I really liked the usage of the backhand, A.K.A pimp slap! Nice dude!

Manou- Way to take a shot! I liked the countdown to your demise.

Matthew and Patrick- Nice “O.K. Corral” remake! You two clearly put some good effort in.

Josh Young- Is your brother O.K.? that was the definition of a slap! I loved the FB star left behind on the welt! You should let him slap you back because that was dirty!!!!!!!!

AND THE SHOES GO TO…………………………

From Freebord’s Inbox

We love this shit…

To: info@freebord.com
Subject: Thank You

Dear Freebord,

I had such a great experience I wanted to let you know about it. I think I may have taken the reverse approach than most people; freebording taught me to snowboard rather than visa versa.

After growing up snow skiing my whole life, I got a freebord because I though it looked like a blast and I love to longboard. It took me a while to get the hang of freebording but I got it and have a blast doing it. I’ve been freebording for about 3 years now. For several years I have owned skis so I haven’t wanted to pay to rent a snowboard. I wanted to snowboard just to see if freebording would pay off but I was always skeptical, thinking that there was no way the ride was JUST alike. Well mid December 2008 I was skiing in Colorado and I got my chance. A buddy who was snowboarding wanted to trade for a day. I got on the snowboard and I would say it literally took me 3 turns to be in absolute control. I had never snowboarded before and the ride was identical to freebording. I was amazed and felt like a natural all day thanks to freebord. Not only could I ride a snowboard, but I could explain how it works.

I hope this is an encouragement to you guys and please know that you have an incredible product. Thanks for all the fun you have provided me.

Ned

Ned: You fucking rock dude – keep up the riding and kill it out there on the slopes!

What did the 5 fingers say to the face?

Win a pair of Freebord shoes!

These prototypes were made days ago and been sitting around since waiting for someone to claim them (sizes 8 and 8.5 US). They can be yours for the low low price of a slap to the face.

That’s right – send us your best slap video – one slap, hand to the face, caught on video. Slap someone else, or better yet, have someone slap you. Surprise slaps, loud slaps, stupid slaps – we want them all. Post the link to your vid in the comments section before next Friday, 1/16. We’ll pick our fave and award the winner’s feet with some FB kicks.
