Free bording
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Free Bording is a brand new sport much like a mix of skateboarding and snowboarding. It was created for snowboarders who suffered snow withdrawal during the summer. A freebord consists of a longer skateboard deck and wider than usual trucks. There is a central swiveling wheel on the middle of each truck to simulate the sliding of a snowboard. The main place to see, talk about, and purchase freebords is at freebord.com.
[edit] History
The Freebord was designed and created by a team out of California. The masterminds of this project are Tim Seward, Mike "Scrub" Hoppe, John Laudin, Dave O'Grady, and Michael Rogers of California. There are also 3 more international team members, they are Bryce Lister, Melbourne, AU, Joe Lawry, Auckland, NZ, and Samuel Bryant, Melbourne, AU. Freebording is gradually becoming known all over the world. Freebording is a sport expected to take off in popularity very soon among teens and other snowboard enthusiasts.
