I'm back for another Freebord adventure, this time I’m going to push 10km on the Freebord to see whether it works well! This was actually insanely tiring but a lot of fun. I think pushing is a really important thing to learn if you Freebord!

What is Freebording?
Freebords are a skateboard designed to simulate the behavior of a snowboard on concrete. Freebords were developed to allow snowboarders to transition to skateboarding (as non-winter transport) without needing to adapt to a smaller deck and narrower wheel-base. Unlike longboarding or mountain boarding, freebording allows you much more versatility with tricks like on the ground like 360 spins and carving. (The spellings Freeboard and Freeboarding are commonly used as well)

Keep it up! I have an old Freebord but unfortunately it’s my least used board in the quiver. Embarrassment of riches. You might just inspire me to put wheels on it.😊

Great idea, great video! I think the furthest I ever pushed is about a mile, maybe 2. I used to do it a lot more back when I first started freebording. I haven't yet tried pushing much on the 5X.

Aha nice! I mean Freebords are super versatile for hills because you can control your speed with carves 😄 Theres no way Id do most of these hills on a longboard 😅

This is the exact mode of Freebord that I'm highly considering buying, and this video came up at a really good time! It seems like it does quite well even for normal use! That's great! :D

@@easy_riders I figured, although I don't plan on pushing it super long distances anyways. Even so, I don't mind long distance stuff, I am a runner after all. Do you recommend the Freebord 5, or the Freebord 5X for more relaxed, sidewalk use? I think the Freebord 5x will be better for me since I really do want to emulate the snowboard experience as best as possible, and I don't care about tricks at the park as much, but I'd like your opinion on the matter.

@@justalpha9138 It's awesome that you're interested in starting! Id say the 5 will be more durable and reliable. The 5x definitely feels nicer and easier to learn, which is normally the worst part about freebording. Neither are really boards for pushing long distance but learning to push is still really useful! Id say if you're starting and can afford it then the 5X is the best. 😁

What do you think about an electric push stick? like a motorized wheel pusher thing you hold then fold up and backpack to ride downhill.

@@cereal_thinker tbh what ive found is its actually not the uphill thats the problem, its ground smoothness. I can happily push up a reasonably steep hill as long as its smooth. But pushing on anything thats not 100% powder smooth is really horrible 😂
