Freeboards are fun to mess around on, but can give you a false sense of comfort, especially if you're a good snowboarder. They're pretty worthless and unstable once you gain some decent speed. I rode one for a while in high school until I broke my ankle getting thrown off the board at high speed. Took almost six months before I could snowboard. Anyway, obviously not trying to discourage anyone from charging it, just giving you a heads up on watching your speed since these aren't longboards. _________________ The Slider Project, LLC Support the cause! http://www.sliderproject.com/ kitekid Since 15 Apr 2007 170 Posts Stoked Wed May 28, 08 5:57 pm     I rode my buddys he has one of the new ones and i was throwing 5ft kiteloops and seem to be getting pretty fast on it and it felt stable. other than that they are alot of fun to ride with a kite i could see it opening new doors to wakestyle tricks on the pavement and landing blinde!! genek Since 21 Jul 2006 2165 Posts East Po KGB Wed May 28, 08 7:02 pm     Maybe they've improved the design. I rode the first gen ones from 2000. Also, fast is relative. Glad you're able to charge it. Not sure I wanna be doing wakestyle on pavement quite yet though. Don't you have some water to ride? _________________ The Slider Project, LLC Support the cause! http://www.sliderproject.com/ kitekid Since 15 Apr 2007 170 Posts Stoked Wed May 28, 08 7:32 pm     yeah i ride the water alot to.

I kite on the water about 3 days a week when there's wind and snowboard in the winter. Some snowkiting too when possible. Otherwise I hang out with friends _________________ The Slider Project, LLC Support the cause! http://www.sliderproject.com/ Cole135 Since 26 May 2008 61 Posts   Thu May 29, 08 8:34 pm    free board be carful with those things you can mess you self up to easy and with a kite..... sounds like a death sentence to me heard of a carve board i have one best long board ever thats the link http://www.carveusa.com/ they would be sick for skate kiting        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
