This year, don’t let the off season make you stale. Just because it has come doesn’t mean you have to let your snowboarding skills go to waste. In this article you will find three kinds of boards that are made to carve and ride like a snowboard. Many snowboarders use any one of these boards to keep their skills fresh in the off season.
The flowboard is a snowboard simulating board that has lots of wheels. It certainly has many more wheels than any other board that I know of.
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.
With only two wheels on caster trucks, the t-board does an excellent job reproducing the feel of snowboarding on snow, except on pavement. Tierney rides makes the t-board, which carves and feels similar to how a snowboard reacts when it is carving on it’s edge on snow.
The other boards both do a great job simulating the carving experience in snowboarding. The next board I’ll tell you about is called the freebord. It does more than just reproduce how it feels to carve on snow, by also bringing in the sliding 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.
Don’t let your snowboarding skills deteriorate in the off season. With one of the above boards you can continue to improve your skills and prepare yourself for the next snowboarding season!
A flowboard, t-board, or freebord will bring the experience of snowboarding into the off season. Ride one and keep your skills sharp and get ready for the snowboarding season. You won’t need a lift ticket to feel like your snowboarding again! All you’ll need is a paved hill, and away you go!

The team at WardnerSoftware.com can hardly wait to hit the slopes this season. They are not alone. With that in mind they just released a Snowboard theme for the iGoogle homepage that will keep you psyched when you are not up on the hill.
This theme rotates pictures throughout the day with a variety of effects. Nice.
