I am gonna tape up my edges this summer and take my board on my trampoline this summer to practice my 3's and grabs, and I am trying to think of some way I can maybe make a little ramp of plastic or something just to get enough speed to do a box or something.
I dunno, but I am gonna have to think of something to keep me busy.
How about you?
What do you do?

I go powerkiting in the summer. It is a superb upper-body workout. I have gottem pretty good at handling my 5 meter (15 ft wide) kite, so I am looking for a mountainboard to ride with it. Other than that I like biking and inline skating.
Other "sideways" sports are always good for off-season coodination - skateboarding, mountainboarding, golf, etc...

When the snow melts away and I put up my winter toys, I am always excited to break out my mountain bike!

you cant go wrong skateboarding - its almost the same and so you dont fall out of your muscle memory of what you learned the previous season

I know this is an old thread, but I thought a lot of these pastimes were interesting. I usually sit on my butt and play whatever new game is out on PS3 ( grand theft auto 4 currently ). But to be a bit more on the target of the topic, I've recently purchased a freeboard and besides being scared of it due to lack of proper safety equipment, I've tried it out and if anyone is looking for a close to snowboarding feel I would suggest it. Check out this site for more info if you're interested. www.freebord.com ( yes that's the way they spell it  ) It's basically an overgrown skateboard with an extra wheel in the center of each truck. I'm figuring you guys already know about them, but I didn't see it in anyone's list so it's worth checking out if you haven't. have a great summer everybody! |
