Freebord News

What happens when you put two Czech pro snowboarders on Freebords? Mayhem, that’s what. Check out Roman Dlauhy and Darek Bergman on their FIRST FUCKING DAY of Freebording. These guys rip!! Thanks Michal…

One of Czech’s biggest online action sports mags reviewed Freebord this week and lived to tell the tale. Highlights from the (roughly) translated article below. Nice Job Honza!

Freeride.cz - Freebord Review

Since I got the opportunity to test Freebord, I have really wondered how this device works. Certainly it is not a toy which you can learn in five minutes, but if you have the skate and snowboard ride down you can combine these two types of movements together, and you won’t have many problems in the journey to Freebording.

Probably the first positive aspect when I compared it with longboarding for example, is the absolute control of speed while driving downhill.  If you get some uncertainty, it’s not be a problem for you slam any steep hill, and stop just like a snowboard. One of the greatest assets is the binding that holds your feet, so you can do various ollies, 180 or 360 - everything is on your creativity. If you have more certainty you can  combine these tricks in a downhill run. Just like snowboarding.

Certainly there are negatives, for me it was certainly two. Freebord can not be compared to skateboarding as a standard means of transport, plus six wheels is more resistance than four, so after you push a little bit you roll to a stop much faster. That is unfortunately closer to snowboarding. Also, If you do not have the option of a trip by car or other means, it is also necessary to walk back up the hills. However, most of us know well from Freeride trips, you can get to the mountain for free but you still have to pay for a lift ticket.

Freebording is interesting entertainment, which supplies a ride that is very close to snowboarding. For not so high a price (when compared to other setups) you can recall the pleasant movement of smýkaných curves, 360s, a sense of interconnection, and the body movements. Try and see.

Another sweet article from a Czech magazine…thanks Michal!

p.s. anyone else get an early 90s vibe from these pics…have we (finally) moved on from 80s!?!

How do you say “Damn!?!” in Czech?

thanks Michal

The Czech Republic is throwing down some style after only one month. Most kidz cant even touch this in 3. The last second switch in n out of fakie and front bords just shows the control these guys are foreshadowing in the next couple months. CZECH IT OUT!!! cuz that wasnt chezzie
