  • love it when people ask me what the heck im riding and I get to teach them someone new

  • 50-75$ off full freebord kits for 7-days only! If you were ever thinking about getting one but the price was to steep, now is the time! freebordstore(dot)ca

  • I own both but I like bombing hills on my SEGWAY much more! SHUT UP AND SKATE!!!!

  • It simulates snowboarding on concrete, but if you fall it hurts 3 times as much on concrete.

  • id like to see you do a 720+ degree spin on a longboard.

  • @dsstjuicebox tons of people can do a 720 on a longboard..

  • Comment removed

  • @sketchmaster50th in the air?? NOPE! but you can on a FREEBORD.

  • @Cflucero0 I've seen it done in the air.

  • this is so stupid. you can pretty much do all that shit on a longboard if you take the time to learn it. qqqqqq582 said it, its a fucking ripstick on training wheels. longboarding is were its at, not this stupid rip off

  • this is just insane. these people are just to lazy to do this on a longboard. other people can do 360s and shit downhill it just takes practice, it may not be as smooth but its more effort required

  • @miked1997 you just don't get it. THIS ISN'T COMPETING WITH LONGBOARDS. The slides here ARE NOT TRICKS, they are HOW YOU RIDE.

    Much like the skater calling you a pussy cause you aren't flip tricking your longboard... They don't get it. That's not the point.

    These slides aren't tricks.... thats just what you do on a snowboard as you ride.

  • about how long does it take you to adjust and get used to riding a freebord?

  • @norrisnail0808 Can you snowboard?

  • @Rawbeh never had but i was just wondering, ive rode a lot of boards and this one is definitely the most fulfilling to ride down a hill, it took me about 3 hours to get sliding back and forth down and a couple days before i could hit hills i normally longboard

  • Hey I'm about 1,85 m tall (6.07 feet), should I get an 83 deck or an 85W?

    Also, if I get the Downhill Package, can I still hit the stairs and jumps sometimes? (although Imma do most downhill riding)

    Answers would really help me out. Thanks

  • Comment removed

  • @petterfurb

    i prefer the wide just cos i got pretty massive feet so they dont hang over as much and i feel i have a bit more control. but the 83 is slightly lighter so its easier to thrash around and do jumps and stuff. but its all very minor diferences and wont have a very big affect on hw u ride

    as for downhill, its exactly the same as all round but it has far far far better wheels. get it for sure

  • @freebordbrisbane Allright. Thanks bro. Imma get the 83 Downhill, but now I wonder; What's better, Maple or Bamboo decks? I read that the bamboo is slightly lighter and stronger, but the maple deck has more pop. It was quite a minor difference in prize, so should I just say fuck it, and get the bamboo deck? I guess that you don't feel much of a difference after all, but the prize difference is just 20 bucks... Thanks again

  • i came here for the freebird music video. this is cool too though.

  • wait a sec, they left out how your supposed to kick, or get up a hill in general without having to walk...

    i feel like unless you live in san fran this board wouldnt really give you much...

  • @ImJonesful how would you normally get up a hill on a skateboard or snowboard?

  • 3:16-3:19 BEST HILL EVER!

  • meh freeboarding is really disappointing. looks sweet, but it just feel stupid riding imo.

  • whats the name of the first music?

  • @KhktW Swollen members Fuel Injected

  • thanks!

  • Wow, ORGAN DONOR FTW

  • Is this like a ripstick with brakes?

  • @b33kmen Hilarious

  • Song?

  • wow thats cool

  • Looks fucking awesome, I wanna try it, but I think i'll stick to cruising on my longboard, but i don't know, no harm in doing both.

  • whats the name of the first song

  • is that like freebord lingo? Fattest Grin?

  • i dont snowboard but am an ok longoarder i have good balance but have never snowboarded...should i get this or just a longboard please message me

  • is it me or does google caption suck, anyway cool vic

  • Comment removed

  • haha, this is awesome. i'm hoping to do this in about a month, im not nearly as good as you guys though, lol. i can make it down those hills though. will i embarass myself? haha

  • sk8erfrombham,

    you are a fucking idiot

  • been freebording for about 3 weeks now and i can definitely say that you will think its so sick once you can get sliding down. its the most fun ride ever

  • guy its to pratice snowboarding... not to replace skating

  • isnt it up to the skater to decide that?

  • yeah but its about the fun of spins and speed:)

  • first off, it isnt supposed to be skateboarding. and i have seen you bashing this in several videos. dont you have some skateberrrding to do?

  • @sk8erfrombham you DAMB*MOTHERFUCKING*ASS!!!!!! u fucking gayass coward! its not supposed to be skateboarding! S.N.O.W.B.O.A.R.D.I.N.G ON THE S.T.R.E.E.T.S!!! dammit ur one stupid twat

  • @sk8erfrombham fuck off

  • i wish i had seen this before i dropped $260 on a loaded vanguard...

  • Naw man, you can do the exact same thing on your vanguard, all you need is more practice on it than your freebord. Freebords are slower and require the best of hills in my opinion. You can do SO much more on your vanguard, you just have training wheels on a freebord. But this does simulate snowboading, it is pretty rad

  • money on a vanguard isnt wasted... it's an awesome board..

  • my neibor is one of the top 10 in the world

  • who tha fukkkkk caresssssssssss

  • want a cookie?

  • what is the song that they are playing in the beginning/through out the video?

    its awesome & i want it haha.

    dragoonerzerg... you definitely do not have a ferrari or a lamborghini if you are talking about a PROGRESS REPORT.

    FYI teachers stopped handing those out back in grade school.

  • can u get speed wobbles on a freebord?

  • since you're always in a carve you wont get speed wobbles the same way you would on a longboard (f.i.), but depending on how you set the middle wheel it'll be harder to go straight down without starting to "wobble" on the middle wheel.

  • dragoon zorgger i hope you get f's i can afford one bitch ass!

  • When did I ever offend you? Stupid diarrhea douchebag fuckknocker dumb shit bitch!

    Go shove a jagged dick up your microass and check out my ferrari and lamborghini videos incase you are still wondering if I can't afford a freebord. Bitchtits, I bet you are so low on money because of the econonmy these days.

  • wtf are u talking about????

  • none of your business. move along now :)

  • how heavy is a freebord? I am going to get one if I get good grades on my progress report this October.

  • Did you post a similiar post on the freebord forum?? Having slight dejavu. Read a post about a dude who's parents will get him a freebord if he gets good grades and he asked how 'heavy' they were. Weird, but any way, they rock!! No wheel based board can even slightly compare!! The ability to drift sidways and stop at anytime is what makes the board so much fun and similar to snowboarding

  • Good. Because there are literally thousands of hills in my area (Diamond Bar, CA)

    all of a variety of difficulty C1 through C4 and a few C5 difficulty hills.

  • Perfect. I definitely recomend you buy one

  • isnt manualing on a freebord a lot easier cuz ur balancing on 3 wheels?

  • the 3rd wheel wouldnt be touching unless your doing a very slight manual...well...not VERY slight

    but yea...the board lifts up so it wouldnt be touching

  • Freebords are beautiful

  • Ordered mine today!! Cant Wait!!!

  • what kind and were did u order i wanna buy one i longboard but this looks fun too

  • what's the song???

  • that girl is sexy. but enlighten me on how there's more expresion in freebording that skateboarding........ tre flip that shit in a line with some steezy ledge trick after ward. thats called expression. this is just called bombing hills.

  • @thatslifeee i think its just a matter of opinion cuz i do both but i love my skateboard more because i can do alot mor

  • Agree with the Guru, It's sweet cause its a lot like snowboarding, but is really a cop out to longboarding. longboarding made easy

  • damn, she is cute!

  • ok thanks man i think im gona buy one this weekend

  • First off just saying that I am totally not trying to drag the sport down at all. This is kinda just a variation on longboarding I mean the only difference is that wheel in between the trucks that helps you side. Again totally not trying to drag these people down at all. Much respect.

  • My Guess is that you have never tried doing it. It is nothing like longboarding. the only similarity is that you are on a board with wheels. Thats like saying longboarding is no different from skateboards its just a variation, (Repeat that in your head with a stupid/ignorant voice) and no it is not exactly easier to slide because you have to be skilled in a way that is close to riding a snowboard not a skateboard or a longboard. And yes you are trying to drag these people down in a ignorant way.

  • freebording girls are sexy

  • cant wait to try it and can u do rails on a freebord??

  • sure you can... you jump onto em with the centers against the edge... needs some practice, but then its easy...

  • popasmurf22, yah you can grind, but you could only do like (can't think of the word, lol) Sideways Grinding haha, but another thing is that you would have to be careful and watch where the center wheels grab onto the railing. Other than that it is just the same, kinda.

  • i just ordered my freebord right now i got a Solstice, Pro downhill package 85 cm it hasent come yet but when it does...

  • how long do the wheels last??

  • i ride em like a year... but depends on your weight your riding style and the hills...

  • le son : dj shadow - organ donor , mais celle ci est un remix de chez pas qui que je n'arrive pas a trouver

  • Im going to get a freebord and just wondering what are some good boards??????

  • Looks awesome, even though I will be sticking to my normal skateboard, this looks like so much fun just sliding around bombing a freaking hill, looking cool as hell.

  • i LOVE freebording its the best thing to life my friend has one and im goin to by one this month and its goin to be sick

  • Longboarding is cooler.. but this looks allright... is it easier then longboarding? and what is the price difference

  • its different than longboarding, i'm all about snowboarding and i think its the closest thing thats come along for that style of riding on the street, the nice thing about it is you can bomb any size hill, ANY, and still stop, try that on a long board.  there's not much use for it when you don't have hills but you could try being pulled behind a car like a wakeboard, haven't tried it yet but i'm sure its possible. price is about 300 bucks, i found one on ebay for 240 free shipping

  • Hey i have a question. Are these able to ride on flat land? By like pumping? or how you push a skateboard even though there completely different. or does there have to be a hill? please help me and reply

  • i dont think you can pump but you can ride it on flat ground its better on a hill though

  • compared to a skateboard it's crap

  • skateboard compared to a BMX is crap.

    But again u can't compare Skateboard with BMX!

    Just like you don't compare skateboard with freebord!

    Get over it freebord is a snowboard simulation when u don't have snow!

  • depends what u wana do, can't bomb hills on a skateboard then slow down whenever...

  • yeah you can, if you are skilled at powerslides!!!!!!!!!!

  • emmanouil is right tho you really cant compare it, its completely different, and you cant really knock it until you actually do it man.

  • It's not supposed to be a skateboard.

    It's a "snowboard for the streets".

    It simulates snowboarding, and fully created and designed to act like a snowboard.

  • really cool

  • What if you live on flat streets??? How do you pedal or go?

  • you dont.

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahaha lol

    rolfcopter

  • Comment removed

  • its not whether you are SNOWboarding without snow, but its the closest thing to it on pavement. so instead of waiting all summer till the next big snow, you can get a similar feel and rush as snowboarding but on a freebord.

  • skateboarding is still better

  • @sk8erfrombham i wasn't comparing it to skateboarding you douche, it simulates SNOWBOARDING like i said, maybe you should get a high school degree so you can comprehend when reading a post. there are plenty of skateboarders who skate AND ride a freebord. there isn't a paved hill that a freeborder can't go down, unlike a longboard or skateboard.

  • pedal...

  • You can't really, It is like a snowboard, so on snowboarding you go downhill. This is just like snowboarding, so you are going to have to find a place that has at least some kind of hill. Your street might look flat, but it might actually be a little hilly. You just have to try it out.

  • ok thanks =]

  • Quelle est le titre exact de la musique d'intro svp !!!

  • sik video!!!

    how does freebord work in an area without hills? can you keep your momentum going after a good push or roll? i'm curious to ride one but don't want to spend all that loot if it doesn't work out.

  • You can, but its hard as you need to keep an edge down (two of the side wheels) and keep a foot in your binding.

    Its waaay better if you have hills around. The don't have to be crazy steep to get your slides happening.

  • Idk what do get a dervish or a freeboard?

  • dervish

  • awesome

  • What the name of that song in the beginning????

  • How do You Brake

  • same way you do on a snowboard use the "edge"

  • freeboarding is fuckin' awesome!

  • DJ SHADOW FUCK YEAH

  • what happens if you "catch an edge"?

  • eat pavement

  • I think it would be so sick to have a freebord/mountain board hybrid. So you could ride on grass/dirt hills. Basically you could "snowboard" anywhere you wanted to.

  • The little pieces of tread would grip too much, and the ride would be bumpy as hell.

  • i just jizzed my pants

  • Innovation at its finest! Let's keep pushing things forward! Great job!!

  • dont fear change

  • I dunno if i should get one of these or a longboard

  • I want just to say that.. NO it's not like snowboard as they are saying. It's a bit more like snowboard than skateboard but... it's still not the same MAINLY because of the fixations of the foots

  • trolllin nub

  • fncker

  • fuel injected

  • swollen members in the beginning

  • btw what is the background music in the beginning

  • get a freebord freebord the good one there is 305

  • how much are these?

  • for a basic setup without extra wheels with S2 bindings as about 220 after tax in california

  • i saw one for 170 dollars

  • Whose the girl in the vid?

  • dose it matter ho smooth the road is???

  • obviously... A newly paved road or as I like to call them black powder is just amazingly smooth and a nice ride. As similar to powder as a hard newly paved street can be heh

  • what is the diference is it harder to skate on another type of roade?....

    ive just got one but i dont know the diference!!

  • Real rocky roads will just seem rigid and really bumpy, I went down one roard that wasn't packed down and smooth it was very rigid and my feet felt like they were getting a massage. At first you might think that's nice but it almost felt as if my feet were about to slip out of the bindings.

  • freakin awesome!

    thats snowboarding in the street... fucked up that we aint got no hills in holland;)

  • Firstly, sick vid. can't wait to see more

    In response to jjjjosh and cuujuujuu, i know one of the beginning beats is sampled by the man DJ Shadow on Organ Donor off Endtroducing. Some of the end stuff is too. But i'd love to know where i can get the full wrap. Any thoughts?

  • what beat is this behind it? i want it.

  • By the way, could I get the name of the song that was in this video? It would be greatly appreciated.

  • I actually own one of these things. I've been a dedicated snowboarder since I was about 7 or 8 years old, and freebord is a really great way to get the rush and adrenalin that you get regular snowboarding. You don't need to wait all year for the art of snowboarding. Now you can just grab it, and go to any hill you want to when there's no snow.

  • u can only use those on hills which is gay

  • Hater

  • if you get good bearings and are skilled enough you can actually push on flatground.

  • great vid

  • wouldnt your wheels wear out quickly from sliding so much???

  • Holy shit, awesome video. Inspirational! Definitely buying one of these. :D

  • if i dont get this for christmas, i'll kill myself. ha x]

  • where is this red street?

  • lombard street, SAN FRAN, CA. Crookedest street in the world, supposedly

  • wat the song

  • could you ride a freeboard up a hill

    i thinking of geting one for riding to school

    would i world

  • ask gravity

  • so you cant pedal with a freeboard

    and your feet always have to be in the bindings??

  • nahh think of it as a snowboard on pavement so u coulnt ride a snowboard uphill for the same reason you couldnt ride a freebord uphill

  • so you r feet are always in the binding

  • yes you can push on a freebord. You feet are not fully strapped in and w some practice you can push pretty good. It's not as good as a longboard for transportation but it's the ride that makes it so amazing. It is still much faster than walking places, I use mine to get around on campus everywhere I go.

  • can you ride a snowboard uphill?

  • omfg i wondering if you can also ride it like a skateboard

  • It is like a skateboard. But it doesn't have the back and front curve body like skateboard does. Mostly the freeboard body part is just flat oval with latch to it to your shoes so you can jump where and when ever you want. But you can't ride it uphill.

    Freebord is the best!

  • By the way, freebord is kind of like longboard but it also have 6 wheel. 3 front 3 back.

  • You all are idiots i have had 3 freebords over 3 years, it takes like a week or two to learn depending on how good you are and how you ride a snowboard. They are really meant for hills but i live in pennsylvania so i dont have hills. I mess around doing front/back three's on the ground. Little nose manual 540's. All in all a freebord is the best thing you can get to keep on snowboarding.

  • yeah i love it. but i'm inclined to call it deathbord, bc broken bone inevitable. maybe not!! will ride today, marginally steep. WHAT IS THIS OPENING TUNE???????????
