Yooo thanks so much for inviting freeborders and making this video! If anyone is interested in more information about the sport, products or community, let us know!
@@MC_605 I got a brand new one on eBay from someone that got one during the pandemic, but ended up losing interest in it after waiting for the board to come. The 5x is in REALLY high demand, but the Freebord 5 model is probably just as awesome (it's essentially the standard design but with highly modernized materials and construction, as well as with the option to use the new Boro center wheels which are AMAZING), so it's worth considering that since the prices on the 5 will be lower. I paid $670 for my Freebord 5x, but then again, it did come with both the red AND blue upgrade springs, as well as with the Boro center wheels, adding to the expense. Totally worth it though; the 5x is SOOOO much fun to use. :D
I always love seeing freeborders at Braille. Been riding for around 15 years now and the community here in europe is so awsome. Been riding with Bentley in Austria a long time ago. Cool to see him here again
This video was a ton of fun. Totally shows how diverse America really is. Western US coast; Cali, a bunch of paved hills, "Let's build a new board to shred 'em with!". South eastern US coast, flat ground and a bunch of dirt; VA, NC, SC etc. "Let's jack up our trucks so we can drive through the mud when it rains!". I'm so glad that I live on the southeast coast, at least for now, lol, I feel like I'm gonna be a late migrator to Cali and be new to the state at 45 and so out of place that it's not even funny , or maybe it will be... any comics looking for a roast base lol. PICK ME!
great display of bailing and awareness, actually a master class. these guys battled physics and broke ceilings (metaphorically, not like the tree haha) like pros.
I started Freebording a few months ago and it’s been a great journey so far. I waited 2 years on the indegogo for the 5X and it’s definitely easier to use than the older style, or the standard 5. I can’t do any freestyle tricks, but I have a few downhill clips of my first few hours. The biggest difference for me was when I switched to the blue (soft) springs which were much better for my weight.
Still waiting on my board 3 years after supporting the campaign. They posted monthly updates, now at number 37 or something like that, I believe. UPDATE: The board arrived last week, 2 months after initially writing this comment!
Freebord's are the sickest board out there. Like you said it's bit weird when first trying but once you get confidence you can ride anywhere you want not having to worry about not being able to stop safely. First tried when was 35yrs old and just make sure I wear protective gear as you will slam every now and then like on anything. Boards feel so smooth sliding with DaBlues on. I ride 85 board
The best thing is doing long slides anyway any angle and it's so silent and smooth. I never could ollie my whole life but those foot covers are so awesome. Allows non skater's to get air safely.
Yeah Evan!!!! We just had Evan at our annual week long Utah freebord invitational. That dude can absolutely rip. Also, I suggest everyone buys a freebord
As a veteran snowboarder with over 32yrs on mountains who's also been skating even longer I think even at 43 I'd quickly catch on to these "Freeboards"
YOU WILL. Especially the 5x! I recommend buying second hand before splashing on the new boards, but if you like riding Freebord even with a used model, then go for it! That's how I did it! :D
Man, this is really cool! As a snowboarder, this is really intriguing 🤔 might have to check this out more. Always cool that you guys feature all these different styles.
I went reverse and learned to freebord before I ever stepped on a snowboard. It's a great way to introduce someone to the concept of snowboarding. First time I stepped on snow, I was afraid I would make a fool out of myself. Freebording made snowboarding feel natural.
Yo braille, have you guys heard of Matt Tomasello? He's a gnarly skateboarder who modifies skateboards, and does crazy tricks with the crazy boards he makes, like moving parts and folding parts. He would be perfect to have on, look him up if you don't know about him yet.
Woah I actually have a free board! But mine is so old the trucks look totally different have no springs and are all one piece pretty much.. these newer ones look so much more user friendly!
I just got into Freeboarding around 2 months ago at this point, and it's been amazingly fun; a literal childhood dream come true more than 13 years later. I'm excited to eventually buy a 5x! :D
THEY ARE! Riding on my 5x is one of my FAVORITE things to do! I feel like I'm playing Sonic Riders in real life whenever I go down my local hills with my Freebord 5x! :D
An analogy to compare the curve and skim or what ever is say in vehicles, you can drift a corner, it'll look koo, but you're ultimately missing out on speed compared to say an f1 that doesn't drift...if that makes sense lol it's harder to describe than in my brain lol
It's true, these things go pretty slow if you're carving right. But it also lets you bomb massive hills and spin around without feeling like you're going to die!
I bought and started riding one when they first came out. I got top of the line 85 with dablues and it cost over $600. Didn't have new style trucks either so had a few nice faceplants. How much is electric in Australia
I got one quite a few years back, and I love the idea, but the fear of becoming a meat crayon is a bit too high for me. Snow is not as intimidating as rough concrete
After using my 5x for the past few months, I've been adoring it. Sure taking a fall here and there sucks, but with the 5x I'm in control much of the time, and its such a joy to ride and use. I can't wait to keep bolstering my skills, and hopefully one day I'll become a Freebord pro myself! :D
Hmmmm, I wonder what would happen if I did this to a skateboard if it be the same, just gotta get soft bushings to match the spring type trucks they use.
Dude, I'm an awful skateboarder too, and its one of the things that got me into Freebord riding! Nowadays people oftentimes are in awe of what I do with my 5x! Its so much fun! :D
Yooo thanks so much for inviting freeborders and making this video! If anyone is interested in more information about the sport, products or community, let us know!
Sure!
I'm fairly confident that in the near future that I'll buy a 5x because I'm having way too much fun! :D
Can you ask bob Where are my boards?
How do u even buy a freeboard 5x? They are stuck on preorders that are not even in stock to purchase.

These dudes are sick. So cool to see all the different variations stemming from the skateboard. I love that you guys feature this stuff.

Been riding with Bentley in Austria a long time ago. Cool to see him here again
That looks like Tesla hill!
@@russellzauner that hill is crazy 😅 i never saw anything close to that in europe
AWESOME! Thanks for inviting freeborders! Amazing episode, just wish there was more downhill...
Bastion of this community right here.
Its awesome to see more Freebording content from you guys! 🔥

How much do you weight?
@@velcro62 140-150lbs
I got started roughly almost two months ago, and it's been amazing. I am seriously considering getting a 5x in a few months
Amazing that you started! You’ll never look back 😎
Update: I got a 5x a few months ago, and its been such a dream come true for me. :)

problem is that you need a down slope to ride this
@@99timewaster Once you do find one though, its unbelievable. :D
I ride on an 85 CM deck too with my 5x! :D
i wanna see JD try and kickflip a freebord
Omg that's my bro 😍🔥🔥

bros sent it man, much respect!
Commenting because I love this. Go sk8!
Freeboard stuff is cool
They call em Braille because we’re feelin it! 👨🦯🛹🔥
Love these guys!!
Those fella's were charging. Respect they have crazy talents.
Yeah Evan!!!! We just had Evan at our annual week long Utah freebord invitational. That dude can absolutely rip. Also, I suggest everyone buys a freebord
One of the coolest things about Braille is that they actually care about stuff that isn't skateboarding.
It's their biggest letdown
@@mccleandazza4618okay that’s your opinion but not a nice one so keep it to yourself
@@mccleandazza4618 ok boomer
@@JohnSuave ohhh someone learnt a new word
@@EquineEmpireOfficial erm no I don't think I will actually ..its a comment section for all opinion mot trust the ones you like ..so wind ya neck in
You guys need to get Jenise on one of these things… ya know with the whole “Olympic Snowboarder” background and all!
I didn't know these were still relevant, I've been wanting one of these for ages
Did you buy one? :D
It looks so weird and sick at the same time!

@@elevationeddie1981 That's what happened to me. :)
Its an AMAZING thing, and I adore riding on my 5x! :")
Great drone shots too!
That was pretty sweet. Would have loved to seen Aaron hill bomb

Smooth Ricky
Gabe you down with the homies 🤙🏾
Awesome!
Thanks!
When did you build that rollin quarter table top?
JD built it with his dad some months ago. I think i saw that on JDs channel
That down-B off the 3 block though 😬
I'm loving these "spotlights" on different boards boarding and styles but I'm still yet to see somthing like what I enjoy to do
Yes!! Love it
Can't wait for the pt2 summerboard video!
Thanks for posting this unedited (or underedited) video. Do you teach how to ride a Freebord?
Neat to see different ways to skateboard
I couldn't help to scream in my head "bend your knees!!" To the ethic shirt guy
those look so fun!

YEAAHHHH

What? Freebord didn't start with DaBlues wheels, Greengos and Slashers were years before DaBlues.
Looks so smooth!
I love these videos with freebord! Btw what company did you get the bungees from that were used in some of the others?
Dead company called Banshee Bungee
@@boardishdistributionthat’s a bummer
i love you videos sooo much i appreciate your work!
Thank you so much!
Where is the review of the Powell Peralta Andy Anderson Nano Cubic Dragon Formula Skateboard Wheels 52mm x 36mm 97A wheels!!!

Definitely wear pads while riding these boards

I didn’t know Shaun white and tiny hawk made a collab game. The graphics are phenomenal
TINY hawk. Yep
I’m a new skateboarder learning a kickflip! And I get the board to spin but my feet just can’t get on the board! Anytips?
Yes! Watch this video th-cam.com/video/kpVhjV-I6nM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much!
It worked! I can land in the board I just have to get the full rotation!
I tried to buy one. Site just has an option to donate. Apparently $281,823 been raised. But no way to buy one.
i think there is a typo in the title brothers
Dang there is, didn't even see it. Maybe we will leave it and see how many people catch it. You were first tho
Can you feeble/smith in this ?
You probably can but it will look sketchy as heck. Like all grinds on freebords do imo. The trucks are just to wide to lock in comfortably
"Me llamo Gabe Cruz y soy un postureta". Glorioso xDDD
Yo this is amazing
I never wanna here Aaron say yeah agin gave keep filming your better
u need to give this to JD, this guy will rock it :D
Looks like long travel pre runner all terrain trucks lol
I need to see JD rip one of these
W video
Dude in the white shirt was gettin it like a true snowboarder
Cool
I want to know what it would be like to have those high performance casters on a ripstik
What was that last song? I wish you guys would credit your music, it's always dope!
This is sick is it to much to ask for a shout out love the vids dude’s ❤
Hi Braille!
Hopefully will be me one day🥹
I’m awful at boarding 😂
Dude, I'm an awful skateboarder too, and its one of the things that got me into Freebord riding! Nowadays people oftentimes are in awe of what I do with my 5x! Its so much fun! :D
Awesome
Yoshi down B @16:40
32 ❤ I love your vids you gugs made me get into skateboarding but one of my friends hates me becase I'm doing skateboard
So Gabe, you finally admitted it huh? Lol jkjk
I wanna see the free board club try skateboarding
All i can think of watching them bomb hills is the flat spots them wheels get must be horrendous
If you know how to slide a certain way you can avoid it… but I have tons of flat freebord wheels 😂
freeboard guys on regular decks 👀 😱
Every video: "OHHHHHHHHHH"
Every single one
I want to see this guy play JD in a game of skate lol
Wheels can last long surely?
About 1 year with the dablues
Gabe after calling himself a poser, dropped in for the 10,836th on vert.
The next car to go across that intersection is skiding out fo show the amount of rubber on the road lol.
Y'all should get some sliding gloves so you can use your hands
I have longboarding gloves that I use while riding on my Freebord 5x and it really does work in certain situations! :D
