Think about what it feels like to fall on pavement. That's what falling on pavement feels like.

Wheels on average I'd say last 6 weeks but it greatly depends on how and where you ride. If you ride huge hills and have to stop fast all the time they will wear out more quickly. If you ride more mellow hills, ones with a big run off or do freestyle they'll last much longer, Your feet arent completly strapped in so you can pop ouff pretty easily.

For all those concerned about danger its just as safe if not more safe than a longboard. With a freebord you have much more control over your speed can can even stop like a snowboard. Yes u can catch and edge but once you get used to it you barely ever will. If your really concerned you could wear a lot of protective gear.

Another video for you, this just won best video contest.

I think you convinced me, Flowboards are pretty sweet, much better than Freeboards after watching those vids you posted.

haha ok think what u want bro. I'll tell you right now flowboards SUCK!! You can't do anything you can do on a snowboard on a flowboard. I'm trying to tell you guys about an awesome new sport and your all just hating. Sorry bro but ANYONE who knows anything about flowboards and freebords will tell you which is legit and which sucks. I hate to say it but if you think a flowboard is better than a freebord(or more like snowboarding i should say) you are sadly mistaken. Good luck riding an $80 board from walmart down a 25% slope hill. You can't even stop on a flowboard, I have one and trust me they BLOW.

Dude i'm telling your flowboards are garbage! I'm not just hating on it for no reason trust me I've ridden them. Freebording does take some practice to learn but once you do it feels very similar to snowboarding, you can move the board in any direction at any speed, control you slides, spin 360, float into switch, anything. On a flowboard you can carve if thats what you want to call it. yes it's cheaper but the price reflects the product. Heres a video of a flowboard and a freebord so you can see the difference

How come freebords aren't free like their name suggests?
