3 Ways to Enjoy the Thrill of Snowboarding In the Off Season

Just because the off season comes doesn't mean the fun of snowboarding has to stop. Here are three boards that are designed to simulate the feel snowboarding. Any of these boards can be used by snowboarders to hone their skills and train during the off season.

The first board, called the Flowboard probably has more wheels on it than any other board currently in existence. Normal skateboard trucks only allow the rider to make up to 25 degree turns. The Flowboard doesn't have trucks on it. Instead there are seven wheels side by side in a curve. This enables the Flowboard to carve up to 45 degree turns. The Flowboard is a great board for carving down roads.

The T-board, made by Tierney Rides is that many snowboarders use to train with over the summer. The T-board has only two wheels that are on caster trucks. The design of the T-board makes it ride like a snowboard does when it is on its edge in snow.

The last board that simulates snowboarding is called the Freebord. This board simulates both the sliding and the carving experience in snowboarding. The Freebord has four outside wheels (two on each side) that simulate the edge of a snowboard. With the Freebord you can control your speed and stop as you would on a snowboard. On the bottom of the Freebord there are two wheels that make the board ride and slide similar to a snowboard. These wheels make it so you can slide and drift into a switch stance while riding down a hill.

All of these boards simulate in some way the thrill and experience of snowboarding. Don't let the lack of snow, or even the cost of lift tickets keep you from having fun.

With the Flowboard, T-board, or the Freebord you can experience the thrill of snowboarding in the off season and snowboard all year round.
