Freeboarding – what is freeboarding?

We are often asked – what is freeboarding. Freeboarding refers to a special type of activity which involves using a freeboard, which is a special type of skateboard which has been designed to imitate the behavior of snowboards very closely. It is different from longboarding. We have written an article on what is longboarding here.

These were devised in order to assist snowboarders in changing to skateboarding without requiring a board with a narrower wheel-base and a smaller deck. This type of board typically consists of 6 wheels – 2 spring-locked center wheels and 4 normal skateboard-style wheels at every corner. The wheels are located on the central axis and can help you turn the board freely in every direction and allow it to slide in a lateral manner provided not any of the 4 wheels at the corner are having any contact with the ground. This resembles the standard “side-to-side” movement of snowboard riding. Riders, by exerting pressure over the corner wheels, can control the board in an able manner.
