Flowboard

My mom bought me a regular flowboard a few years ago but I didn't find much use for it considering there aren't any hills in my area. Well along with hills, there isn't much water either and we sold our boat. Last night I decided that if I can't wakeskate or wakeboard when I want, I'll have to find another way to practice. Me and my friends tied a rope and handle to the back of my truck and took turns pulling eachother. It was actually quite fun, even set up a few courses.

There is a flowboard wakeskate model. Which is a wakeskate deck with a row of removeable wheels.

headhuntermx4, hey could you ask Kyle(havent seen him here lately) what he thought about its ride on the concrete versus a real wakeskate on the water I was thinking of getting one b/c my drive way is perfect for skating, and I thought it would be good practice for rails when I cant ride.

kento911, lol the wakeskate one is a trip, it has a million wheels and isnt fun on flat ground at all. maybe if u had hills but the other carve one is awsome. unfornately i broke kyles lol but in all honesty a reg skateboard is prob the best

I attempted to ride one around a sporting goods store here in town, but i was chased down by store employees and security before i could really get a feel for it... but i think it could be pretty fun.

My flowboard isn't the wakeskate kind, it's just the regular carve one. Sure is fun though!

Can you ollie on them at all, esp the flowskate? Possible for tricks or anything? Or is this just a board to ride on the ground?

They had a demo tent at the last PWT and it is very fun to roll down grassy hills, and I busted little shuvs and ollies.

yeah, you can ollie on them, I'm not sure about the flow skate though.

they hace those ythings you put on the bottom of a skateboard so it doesnt roll. essentially its the same concept as putting your skateboard on the grass

I can do all my flip tricks on a flowboard, it actually does feel a little more like a wakeskate because you have a lot more board under your feet than a regular skate deck. Pop shuvits are a lot easier because the board has less of a tendancy to try and go primo.
