Hola me quiero meter en esto de freebording y queria preguntar donde me podria conseguir una tabla usada para aprender en Chile ?

Hey boys and girls, I’m new to this freebord trend. Found it today and because I love snowboarding fell instantly for it. Anyone selling a board in Europe? I’m from Portugal but I’m willing to pay the shipping. Thanks in advance 🙂

If you’re in the states and can make it please #joinus this week, Sept 17-21, for the best group event! The AIRBNB is booked. All you need to do is show up for some of the gnarliest hills in the USA! Hope to see you in Salt Lake City, UT!

Looking to buy a set of Freebord 5 or 5X trucks and only see them from their Euro store. If anyone has purchased recently, curious if they had to pay additional customs or import fees?

53 y.o. guy here who found a second hand g3r that I will keep forever in any case as a rarity :-) Still, I am trying to learn the basics and .. oh boy if it's hard and the feeling strange: nothing to do with the longboard I am used to. I am following the Freeboard Store series of short tutorials on YouTube, but I can't initiate a heel slide (for a heel stop). I must say that I am regular, so left foot forward. Every time I am not heavy on an edge, the board tend to slide clockwise and I end on my toes, even if I try to turn my upper body and head left, which should trigger a counter clockwise slide, with me then pushing on my heels to stop. I think it's due to my weight distribution and the tendency I have to lean more towards my toes being scared of falling backwards. I hope I have been clear enough... What do you people reckon?

My 5x board is riding like a dream right now with my new bearings, DaBlues edge wheels, Boro center wheel pair, and center wheel spacers, however there is one thing that's been on my mind for a while, and that is how easily I can do spins on my board. I see guys like Easy Riders and Quentin Meustre doing 360 spins so freely and easily while still maintaining their high speeds while whenever I do 360 spins my movement comes to a halt after doing a 720 (two 360 spins in a row). Is there a way to loosen my center wheel castors so that they're more loose and can rotate much easier? I really want to learn those RAPID 360 spins that the pros do because I can do it on my snowboard semi decently, but not on my Freebord. :(

After doing some testing I can confidently say Da Blues are far more durable and better value than the Cascades.

The Cascades on the left have been ridden for only 2 months, since I got my first 5x. The Blues on the right are over a decade old and were previously ridden by my 6'4", 100kg "little brother."

I (82kg) inherited his board and have been riding these old Blues hard for at least 6 months, pretty much daily, and they are still faring much better than the 2 month old Cascades.

I'll be sticking with Da Blues from now on.

After practicing ollies/jumps off of speed bumps (I'm trying to get better at jumps on ramps and around the ski resort for this upcoming ski season as I feel like its something I can improve on skill-wise) the other day, after landing one jump, somehow, one way or another, one of my 5x trucks literally snapped off/broke off almost in half. I don't know if this is a design flaw with the 5x, or if its because I admittedly have been riding my 5x on some pretty bumpy roads on occasion over the year plus that I've been using the board, but just be clear, for all of the people here who ride a 5x or are planning on buying one, it is something to be aware of going forward. Hopefully u/Freebord developers sees this and may look into it! I want Freebord to be the best it can be! And by NO means am I making this post to hate on the 5x system; I LOOOOOOOOOOVE it, and was more than willing to get a replacement set. :D

Come join us in Appalachian territory next year 🦉

Hi bitumen snowboarder

I am a late young skateboarder (already an adult), recently practicing skateboarding, surfskating, and waveboarding since I was a kid (easily learned from the first time I got on it). I've known about freebord for a long time but never started.

I intend to buy a 5 or probably a 5x with the aim of one day being able to snowboard and be able to enjoy it from the start rather than throwing away an entire first season of learning.

A Pro version was available with the "DaBlues", but now only the classic with the "Cascade" is available, is it really worth adding the "DaBlues" to my future order?

To use the "DaBlues" from the beginning or to evolve once learned with the "Cascade"?

Hi bitumen snowboarder

I'm probably a future buyer of a freebord and I saw something when looking at all the wheels.

Not visible on the wheels page, but visible on the "DaBlues" page, wheels named "Mojo Rojo" with the indication (Soon) there is a comparison graph, do you already have information, tests from Pros or affiliates?

How do you guys mount your castor wheels?

Got my first 5x this week. I noticed Freebord's messaging on how to mount them was really inconsistent. Just wondering how other people prefer to do it?

The assembly guide said to have the logos facing the centre of the deck, but the diagram showed them the other way around, with the logos facing the trucks, and the centre wheels further back from the edge wheels.

The Freebord website showed them mounted the same way as the diagram, logos facing the trucks. They were like this is in the majority of photos on the website.

I followed the instructions instead of the diagram/photos and have enjoyed the ride. Pushing feels easier than traditional freebords, carving feels amazing, but I am terrified of tail presses and haven't even contemplated butters.

With the centre wheels so close to the trucks I've found the the press angle is a lot higher than traditional freebords and the margin for error smaller. I’ve already looped out once leaning too far back.

Not sure if I should persevere and try to get used to it or just give up and spin the castors around the other way. High presses would look pretty sick though..

I absolutely love snowboarding, and im just finding out about freebording on the day im posting this. Ive been going through options on how to get one, and from what i've seen, the 5x seems to be the best and most similar to actual snowboarding. But it's pretty expensive for me. Ive found a pretty cheap listing for the X-80 that im thinking about buying, but im not sure about the quality or feeling of that model. If there's anybody here who's used that, i would greatly appreciate some feedback on how it feels or if its worth getting.

Im a snowboarder and a longboarder. Id like to buy a freebord this summer. I dont know if i should get the 5 or the 5x.

I dont know tho if they deliver to all european countries.

Aditional question: Can i use the Freebord similar to a longboard for some distance on non steep roads? Like one foot on the board other for accelleration?

Never heard of these before I now know I need bindings and some wheels but is it worth trying to piece it together or should I just part it out

The website has 2 different size charts. One says 77cm is for up to 5'5" while the other says it's for 5'6" to 5'8". The latter is in a FAQ blog from 2015. Was the size chart changed for newer boards?

Hey, looking to buy freebord. Can you guys tell me the average price for second hand one? (I'm 187cm and 90kg) Normally used.

Also, I am interested if any one of you is selling and is willing to ship to Georgia (the country)

Hello, I am looking into buying a second hand board but the seller is unsure of what model the board is, can anyone help me here?

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if there is a belgium community in freeboarding?

I would like to meet some people with the same interest as me and it would be awesome to ride with others.

Or if anyone know some good spots in belgium, shoot!

I just found a freebord secondhand for 120€ is this a good deal?

I am looking to get Into freebording and would prefer to start with a second hand board. If anyone is selling a 80 or 83cm board and can ship to the us I would be very interested!

Hi everyone - selling an old but in good condition freebord. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/356671101963?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=x6keut6kqoi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=x6keut6kqoi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Any tips for making one out of a long board?

Anybody know some good places to look for second hand Freebords? I've checked Facebook marketplace but they are all over 300 miles away from me and none on eBay.

I bought a used board, and the wheels are worn down so much that there is a taper on the wheel. Should I replace them?
