SPINBOARD the concrete snowboard

[chiller]

The Spinboards are fitted with binding which allows a lateral foot insertion, a sort of skyhook. The sideways feet insertion allows you to avoid a loss of contact with the board and to enter and exit your feet when you want. The freestyle boards are not exactly the same as standard skateboard; they are bigger and have a little snow twin tip shape with a range of holes to choose different stance and truck position. More over they have smaller tail and nose compare to a skateboard, because you don't have to make an Ollie like skateboard. the whole idea behind the company has been trying to mimic snowboard freestyle triks on pavement. Do not made for flip triks but made for air and spin like snowboard.

Looks like that kid down the street that always straps his feet to his skateboard with bike tube rubber finally got a small business loan.
Those Half Hooks look interesting.
How is this different than mountain board binders on any normal skate?
I am an avid snowboarder and don't see how that would mimic snowboard movements. (Enlighten me?) What materials are used for the deck?(ed, maple/carbon fiber NICE!!!) Flex?


Best of Luck to ya! CHEERS

They never claimed to mimic snowboard movements other than mimic snowboard tricks. Wich I guess includes spins and grabs.

But being strapped to a board going down a paved road is not my cup of tea. Too scared of getting stuck.

I have the cruiser deck with bindings and its flex but freestyle deck are stiff, I tested it in a shop!
all deck are made with maple and reinforced with carbon fiber, that make it stronger.
About the bindings, they allow to fix and bail the binding very quickly,mountainboard binding are fullcovered strap and that s not easy to leave the board. Finally, its similar to MTB but lighter and made for pavement and skatepark, thats the idea i think..
yeah its not a snowboard ride simulator like freeboard or other, that just looks a way to fly through the air like snowboarding, air or spin, backflip...

Try Freebording, it IS snowboarding on the pavement.

[Crzyazn]

^I concur.

I think these bindings look better, and that it's a nice concept...but that's no matter if it doesn't really capture the real snowboarding feeling.

[wilder]

lookslike fun to me. reminds me of mountainboarding though.

garh, i want those bindings for my freebord so bad but they are so god damn expensive, i cant afford to buy them and have them suck for freebords.

yeah I bought it 69 Euros in a French surfshop, I think it's not too much...quality is really good! maybe ask to your local shop to order one

[X-CONVICT]

lucky, on their website it is like, 100 dollars for one binding

umm the problem is euro/$ is very high and it makes very high prices for us buyers, and the product is not available in us shop so maybe contact the brand directly...

[X-CONVICT]

wait, i mean a set, my bad, which isnt much more than the euro price
