Do y'all reckon there could be a skiing equivalent of these freeboards and has anyone actually tried them? are they actually as good as snowboarding? and do you reckon a skiing version would be possible?

Yeah I used to have a freebord WAY back in the day. Probably like 2006. It was fucking sick. Felt a lot like snowboarding. Very confidence inspiring. Was not scared at all of big hills. Was surprised at how strong it felt riding

You could build it with narrow quad skate trucks and casters mounted to 2x4s or an old pair of skis.

My concern would be swing weight, it's a non-issue with Freebords 'cos the bindings are right over the trucks.

Yeah it's taking time to get it done right. Keep in mind it's gonna be more like a conventional skateboard than a Freebord.

Are you in Wisconsin or Atlanta?
