You persevered. You sweated, ignominiously landed on your backside and ignored the relentless pounding of fall after fall so that you could master the art of snow boarding. But now that you feel as cool on the slopes as you thought you looked when you first zipped up your baggy shell pants, you are helplessly addicted. And the snow is melting.
However, there may be an antidote: the Freebord.
In the same way that the skateboard first swiveled out of a surf shop as a means for surfers to practise their skills on land, the Freebord was invented for snowboarders who don't have snow.
