Freebord | The Swiss Sessions

17 May

Freebording

Pro Freebord riders making the difficult look easy.


The more you see footage of Pro Freebord riders making the difficult looks so effortless the more it makes you wonder why more people haven’t taken this sport up. It’s got to be the closest thing to snowboarding; only difference is when you crash it’s going to remove some skin which is probably what keeps most people away. For now we’ll just keep on watching, but sooner than later we’ll be giving it a go. Maybe the guys at Freebord will hook us up with a demo since we keep posting the videos? It’s hard to deny that this looks like a shit ton of fun. Freestyleusa.com

Our buddy Ryan Connors send over some recent shots takeng by photorgrapher Sean Peterson. Judging from these photos Ryan’s all healed up from his busted foot, and absoluting killing it! It’s probably that Red Killler Shark Watch he’s wearing, we hear the shark watches give skaters magical healing powers and help them stomp more tricks. Just saying.

Freebord Deeper in Spain

16 Apr

Freebording is Gnarly

Hopefully there's not a car around this bend

We posted an early video from these dudes shredding the streets of Switzerland on Freebords, no here they are deep in Spain riding super sketchy windy road with cars whipping by them. I see a helmet and one of the guys is rocking gloves, but other than that these guys are running with very little protection. Looks like a ton of fun, but make no mistake this is balls to the wall gnarly. We’d like to thank CieloSurf for sharing this video.

Snowboard the Streets Lately?

27 Jan

Didn’t think so, but here are some dudes that have. Looks like a hella fun time, but at the same time the consequences look like hell too. When you go down you’re not falling on water, snow or even ice, it’s just good old skull crushing concrete, which is why you’ve got to respect how fun these guys are making this look, not sketchy at all. So if you’re board this summer with no snow around, take a look at Freebord, and start snowboarding the streets. We’d like to thank CieloSurf for sharing this video.

The Scorpion Dismount

29 Aug

Ryan Conners and the Scorpion Discount

This Scorpion is going to hurt


Ryan Conners living up to the age old rule that you have pay to play. In skateboarding those payments are usually in the form of painfull crashes. In this case, Ryan found himself in the unfavorable Scorpion position. Ryan said it didn’t really hurt that bad and that it was actually funny in the end, but then again this kid is way tougher than you and i.

Barefoot Skateboarding

Without a doubt you have to be a good skateboarder and have some damn tough feet to skate this well with no shoes. Here’s Kaoli Kahokuloa shredding up the Sector Nine Bread Bowl barefoot. While the image below is not of Kaoli’s foot, odds are his toes are smiling too.
