Kurzbeschreibung Board sport with centre wheels and edge wheels for snowboard-like carving on pavement.

Geeignet für Suitable for experienced or patient board-sport fans who accept protective setup and controlled hills.

Cost High: a Freebord plus helmet, gloves and pads are realistic for a safe start. Spare parts, wheels, pads and optional travel/workshop costs. Community/rider groups rather than classic club structure. Do not start without protective setup or on traffic areas.

First progress First controlled straight ride in one session; safe carves need repeated practice.
