Freebording

Wow, its been a while since my last post! No one probably reads this, but just in case someone stumbles upon this...I wanted to spread the word about a new sport in its early stages. Known as freebording, it's the closest thing to snowboarding on the streets. Snowboarding is my favorite sport, so finding out that there was a board to imitate the exact motions a snowboard gives you was awesome! I just bought mine off ebay from a previous user, but I practice all the time and am getting better every day. But to all those considering the sport, get on it, because the payoff is worth the pain (only if you demonstrate gravity haha) and patience. The last picture is from snowboarding last season at Alpine Meadows which overlooks Lake Tahoe and the other two are learning the ropes of freebording.
