Have you ever wanted to feel like you’re gliding down the side of a mountain, but you’re too afraid of the climb? Introducing Freebord 5-X, a new ride that lets you snowboard the streets. The curbside board works by replicating the motion of a snowboard on pavement.
So how does it work? It’s simple. The Freebord 5-X comes with a unique castor system that rotates 360 degrees. The hanger arms on the wheels are independently suspended and spring loaded, offering a wider turning radius and better motion. The company claims this allows it to match the same trajectory as a snowboard. The springs are also designed to dampen vibrations to make it feel like a smoother ride. The unique design also allows you to place pressure on the edge of the board to control your stopping power, unlike traditional longboards or skateboards.
Honestly, it’s almost cool enough to make us want to take up another sport. The Freebord 5-X is set to retail for $325, only slightly less than an actual ski trip depending on where you live. First shipments are expected to begin this summer. Check out the website for more information and ways to order.
