have any of you ever seen anyone try to use a Freeboard in a skate park?

a friend of mine got one while he was a snowboard instructor in Heavenly, and i was wondering about it on a concrete parkl.

ever tried or seen it done?

Yeah I've done it... good fun. I mainly stick to downhill on my freebord, but yesterday just got a package from freebord with a new in it which I will dedicate to downhill, and my old board will be dedicated to freestyle; so expect to see a lot more freestyle vids from me.

Here's a cool vid from the Melbourne boys with some skatepark stuff in it.

yeah, i've tried to shred some bowls and stuff because street skating is GAY. anyways, freebords suck in skateparks. and in general
anything you can do on a freebord, you can do twice as stylish on a skateboard with a way higher gnarlyness factor.

Are you that good or does the Freeboard help you pull those seamless standing slides?
Cool video. Looks just like snowboarding.
