ollieboards look ok but doing an ollie while moving is totally different than doing one while moving

[rcsurfing]

Have you guys registered the name "flowboard"

[hdymer]

im sure it rides great... but it doesnt come close to imitating a REAL snowboard like the freebord does.....if you wanna have fun this is fine, if you wanna cross train get a freebord....

[NinjaDraak]

I have a flowboard and It rides great so don't be a hater cuz it's different ?

[hdymer]

get a FREEBORD!!! you can slide,turn,stop, just like a real SNOWBOARD........these flowboards are GAY,, they dont follow the basic rules, like the freebord does.. CENTER & EDGE

Depends on what you've got on it. Flow riders on ABEC 7s and 80 size wheels get ridiculous speeds with the lower friction coefficient of only 2 blade wheels on the ground.

[warrcrew]

the ollie board is stupid because you should never learn tricks standing still

[ggreenrock]

there is something called a ripstick haters

[vent25kn]

Flowboard is very fun to carve, but it's very slow compered to a normal longboard.

Flowboards are not restrictive. You have to use it differently from a traditional skateboard. The price is reasonable for a new concept... $100 for a couple years with this thing - not bad. It's refreshing after 6 years of the old skateboard (my experience) still love the old stuff, but the flowboard is a great new direction. Hoping to see some amature competitions here in toronto real soon! :)
