Freebord from the sky

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

We filmed a session in Chambéry (France) with an original point of view… Visiofly is a production company filming in HD with a RC plane. The shots are awesome… Unfortunatly, Rems broke the camera and the tape whith all the other footage (and there was some good damn footage)… So we can’t release the video yet… Just teasing you with this picture.

ps : who can tell where is Rems and where is Arnaud ?

I just wanted to write you guys and tell you this is the coolest board I have ever bought. I just got my first freebord on monday and I have been riding it as much as possible. I live in NC right on the coast and love snowboarding but I’m at least 6 hours away from any slopes so I don’t get to go a lot but I love that rush. I was a little discouraged when I first tried it because where I live it is flat as hell and with no hills it makes it way harder to learn to ride it. Then I thought about getting my dog to pull me. She loves pulling me and once I got some speed I picked it up right away. You guys are awesome, keep up the good work.

Thanks again,
John

Yeah John, making it happen even in the flats… with a dog that loves pulling Freeborders no less. Sounds like we got ourselves a mascot!

MeSurf Review

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Props to Frosty for securing this upcoming Freebord review on mesurf.com.au.

“Keeping the dream alive”

In the real world we don’t get waves every day, and unfortunately during summer these flat spells can last for weeks. This is where the freebord steps in. Designed to offer the same feeling as snowboarding, we think it also has a place in every surfers’ quiver. Here is a quick rundown on what the Freebord offers:

Freebord’s outside wheels act just like the edges on your snowboard. The result: total speed control that allows you to bomb the steepest street you want.

Freebord’s center wheels act like the petex base on your snowboard allowing you to slide your edge and drift into switch. Great way to practice your 180’s for next time out in the surf.

Edge in and slide to a stop, same as you do on snow. So you always have full control.

Freebord’s patented truck design is the only board on the market that combines both carving and sliding (think about it: without both, it’s not snowboarding or surfing).

mesurf has one of these puppies on its way thanks to Frosty at Freebord NZ. We will have a comprehensive review and footage of the mesurf crew putting this bad boy to the test. In the meantime, check out the Freebord site and see what it is all about.

Could have been curtains for our own Stevie-B without his trusted Bern helmet.

This is what happens when a bus comes around the corner and you hit a bunch of parked cars:

Wear your helmet!
