[edit] Deletion
this is not just an AD for "one companies skate board" its actually a snowboard simualtor on land, and as such deserves a page,
the persection that its just an advert is due to the the fact that it is a new board system and it looks very similar to a longboard. i suggest that this article needs imporving but taking this off wiki pedia would be silly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.40.136.20 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] freestyle vs freeride
can someone elaborate on the difference between freestyle and freeride and why the two different board sizes are desierable for each?
Freeride, as the name suggests, is simple and plain riding. Just going down the slopes, focusing on the way down. A bigger board gives you more balance allowing to go faster.
Freestyle is more about doing tricks like spinning, grinding rails, jumping, etc. The smaller boards are lighter, making all those tricks easier.
[edit] "Lame" tricks
I am removing the following since it is blatantly POV (emphasis mine):
Although there has been a recent trend away from slide related tricks and lame moves such as the 'tommy gun,' the best riders are now looking to move the ride more in the direction of snowboard freestyle.
Furthermore, there is no source for this statement. 24.18.245.76 (talk) 00:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
