Freestyle Snowboards

"The next type of board we are going to be talking about is a freestyle board. A freestyle board is often confused with a free ride board but let me tell you that the two boards couldn't differ any more. They do both have a nose and tail to them but with a freestyle board it is usually a twin tipped board meaning that no matter what way you ride it it is going to ride the same. A freestyle board is a lot more flexible so it will allow you to perform tricks on it and you generally ride it with a lot wider stance than on a free ride board. To widen your stance find the pre-marked factory holes and go as far away from them as you can towards either end of the board. Once you have found these holes, take your binding plates, line them up corresponding to the angles that you ride, place them over the holes, insert screws into the bindings, and tighten them. Once tightened, take your boot, loosen up your straps and you are good to go."
