More Freebording

June 27th, 2007

I popped out at lunch today and did a little Freebording over at Highbury Fields. There is a little hill next to the green and it gives a pretty sweet ride. I did about 5 or 6 runs and had a good time.

This evening BJC and me headed back over there after work for a little more action, but after about 5 mins it started to rain. It was a bit of a shame as I could feel the board sliding in the turns a little, rather than just carving, so hopefully this is a little sign of some progression, I do admit, it is a lot harder than the guys on the Freebord website make out, but hey, all good to have another sport to master.

Freebording with the crew

June 21st, 2007

Last night BJC, Sulli and I hit up Highbury Fields and tested our my Freebord. After a few wobbles and near wipeouts, we were soon heading down a little hill, carving and linking some turns and even busting out the occasional 180. All good fun, watch this space for more…

Freebord has arrived

June 14th, 2007

So I got my Freebord this afternoon, had it delivered to work and assembled it over a beer on the terrace whilst the guys and girls played a few games of pool and did the mini-gig. I had a cool evening hanging out with everyone, and am also looking forward to Friday afternoon cocktails tomorrow, as well as hanging out with Carinan and Janos.

I have a feeling it is gonna be a little harder to ride than I previously thought, but a new challenge all the same, I am bound to be posting again over the next few weeks reporting all my cuts, scrapes and near-death experiences, but hey…

So BJC tuned me into this very cool new gadget which is supposed to be like snowboarding on land, I reckon it will also help improve my surfing as well, check the video out below, I think I am about to make a purchase!
