I have one similar, keep your balance on the center wheels you'll get it... go to the edges only if you wanna stop... also put the bindings it is easier with the bindings...

I have a freeboard, which is the same setup as that thing just not motorized. The trick to it is not to try to ride it like a conventional skateboard or snowboard, it's a combination of the two. You turn it more by sliding the tail with it pivoting on the nose. You can carve with them but it's not the same as a snowboard. Think of the castor wheels as the bottom of the board and the wheels on the trucks as the edges. You can't really cave on your edges going very slow 😉
I understand that this is a marketing thing, but the shills in the comments make it seem too contrived for the $1600 price point. "Feels like snowboarding" probably doesn't have the feel of snow. FWIW, it probably makes more sense to say that it's the same type of biomechanics to control a snowboard/freebord/summerboard.
@@Ghostyfrost9688 when you say that, its it more how you move? I can see that. If it's how the board moves as you cross a surface, is it concrete/asphalt/rough gravel vs snow as powder, packed pow, firm, or ice? Overall, I find the positive people as product shills. They came out too hard and fast to believe otherwise. Only until someone I've watched reguarly (SPC or other snowboarding YTers) learn and progress over videos, then I'll believe. Or SPC channel regulars that I recognize.
@@SnowboardProCamp once you start throwing your back foot out as off your doing sharp turns helps a lot... I’m now doing tons of 360’s that’s rough haha
Bending the legs makes it a lot easier. I caught an edge last summer and messed up my knee that has not healed, which made it hard during the past winter. Good luck with it.
Try changing your foot position. Your feet should be completely centered meaning there is equal amounts of toe and heel hanging off the board. This is critical for balance
Great start. Like others mentioned the bindings will help a lot. Sliding is easier with the bindings. It took me a few sessions to get comfortable.. As soon as I tricked my brain into thinking I was on my snowboard everything fell into place.
I recently received my summerboard, did twice 1h without footholds, 1h with just the foothold mounts to find the good positioning and I will try with footholds at my next session. But I often exit the board toe side when I take an edge toe side, that scares me a lot with the foothold compared to bailing heel side... how do you manage to not fall and trip in those situations ? (toe side bailing)
Don't be sorry, I skateboard as well, but for me freebording/summerboarding is more fun, as the adrenaline I get is much higher. The whole reason I skateboard my whole life is because its a niche sport and I like to do things that are different then the majority of people, well skateboarding is now mainstream, so this scratches that itch.
Great to see a new video Kev. Had my eye on these for a while. The price tag had held me back a little from pulling the trigger but looks like alot of fun!
In my eyes is pretty amazing for you to be using your camera documenting your progress while you're learning it, I know if I were to try it I wouldn't be able to focus on learning it right! Amazing riding ^ . ^
I freeborded (the original without motors) for 3 years before I ever set foot on a snowboard. First time snowboarding I was making high level snowboarders wonder how the hell I could just jump on one for the first time and go faster then them and do 360s with ease. They compliment each other. I actually prefer to freebord/summerboard over snowboarding, so i snowboard in the winter to practice for freebording.
Training on Summerboard helps me a ton with edge control, I feel like I can butter way better and be able to land jumps in pretty much any angle and be able to slide it out back to straight.
Do Not Buy!!! Summerboard is great when it works. I sold mine after 9 months of utter frustration. Almost every component broke at some point. I hope someday they get it together but at this point and this price avoid it like the plague. Sorry.
Id like to see one of our comments get liked by Kevin, so his viewers can see both sides instead of blindly reading the first 5 comments and buying one of these traps.
If you actually calculate new setup (boots, bindings, gloves, lift ticket, everything you need to ride) it's probably equal or even less if you buy premium stuff. Can't just buy a snowboard deck and go ride.
@@yeti_riding5612 This is mainly a snowboarding channel that I've followed for years. I'm an older 50+ day snowboarder with premium snowboarding accessories and season passes lined up for next year. I have a decent snowboard quiver and am already looking at the 2022 catalogs. So if premium snowboards are $600-700 and splitboards are $850+, the opportunity cost for the $1600 summerboard is steep. Freebords might be an entry mechanism, but there are too many hills over here.
@@yeti_riding5612 I've been hiking around Lake Tahoe and just waiting for some more snow melt before backpacking in the wilderness areas. The established campsites aren't open yet either. "Just like snowboarding": how fast can you go on a summerboard? The ramifications of crashing on asphalt that start over 50mph sounds pretty tragic. On a snowboard, being attached means you can ditch a lot of speed before you bite it.
@@aaalllen I've found that you can go up to 25-29 depending on weight. You aren't locked into the board like you are on a snowboard so you can run it out or you would fall on the ground but it wouldn't be like pulling you into the ground like a snowboard does, if that makes sense. You can still ditch a ton of speed very quickly. Sounds like you're a real wilderness type, which is pretty awesome. For those of us, like me, who live in a city - the summer board is a godsend! Come to NYC and see what it feels like to do an 80' powder turn on park avenue!!
You gotta try a Onewheel or Onewheel pint. Haven’t ridden the summer board before but I have a lot of electric and non- electric longboards and the onewheel feels the most similar to snowboarding.
Those things are fun I have one and if u are a snowboarder I recommend u buy this 1. It’s a good work out ,it’s a major calorie burner 2. It uses the same muscles That u use when snowboarding 3. U can do it every day And I really want a community to grow on this thing too like the one wheel community

Kevin in Abbotsford is a wake park 👍 cable wakeboarding feels most similar like snowboarding. rails, boxes, kickers, 360, 720, ... also in the summer time 🏄😎 no one here thinking the same?
Good Video Kevin. I just got mine yesterday and it's nice to see someone else struggling too! Iv'e got about 3 hours in so far and I can carve sliding turns back and forth if the road is perfectly level and not bumpy but I can't go straight nearly as good as you can yet because I get overextended and can't bring the board back under me. It looks like you started off with the freshies on and it looks like your trucks are a lot looser than mine. My trucks don't flex at all when I bear down on them so I'm going to try loosening them up to see if it helps. Try the bindings! I bent my metal binding frames a little so that they would stick up at an angle that I prefer. I can't wait to see your next video
60 /49 front foot is key. Get your half hook binding on this. And if your really going to get into electric skateboarding skip the bs and buy a Lacroix or a Kaly nyc
It looks like soap more than snowboarding . You should try a "real" E skate like Evolve Bamboo for example and THERE you can have deep carve and control. (With All Terrain wheels)
There is nothing that feels like snowboarding even close. Nothing can imitate the feel of riding powder or even the slopes. All surfskates, longboards, skateboards is still skateboarding. And it does not sit even close to what snowboarding is. And were are not even talking about how magical mountains are when covered in snow. So when you ride a longboard or a skateboard - take it and enjoy it for what it is.
100% agree with you. No question whatsoever. BUT, have you ever tried a onewheel? I am telling you from personal experience, it is unlike any other board with a wheel. It's the closest feeling to floating on powder you can get without going to the mountain. Extremely user friendly - takes WAY less time to learn compared to a summerboard, it's more intuitive (feels like you control the thing with your mind), AND ONE big wheel = you can go off-road, over little pebbles without face-planting... you can even ride it on sand! (wet, compacted sand, that is)
You don't know what your talking about. I've been freebording for 7 years and its exactly like snowboarding. In fact I didn't even step on a snowboard untill I learned to freebord, and the first day I went snowboarding I hopped right on looked like i've been doing it for decades. I snowboard and freebord/summerboard all year long, I actually snowboard to practice for freebording as I can't wait till summer to get back to the awsome trips we have all over the world.
"feels just like snowboarding" heard this soo many times from these skateboard variants over the years and none come close. just enjoy things for what they are
@@lvshredquarters just watched one of your vids about them , werent these put out a few years back marketed as Freeboards ? theres a whole list of these gimmick skateboard variants out there that do the rounds every few years aimed at snowless snowboarders who don't know any better... ever hear of a the flowboard ? if you really want to carve , get a decent longboard or go surfing

Sometimes we run it from the public eye. I'm right here for you. The skill set. To do what we need to do on a honest level. Who can do that? Who wants to do it. When you see me on the highway. I had to just pack and go. I can't live a lie. Will a day come when I finally get to you?
the whole point is this and freebords are pretty much simulating snowboards. Its not a gimmick they have the same mechanics in mind. I own a onewheel as well, and it is nothing like snowboarding, although still fun as hell, just not the same. Don't mock it till you've given it a proper go bud.
Agreed, it looks fun. Just looks like it’s limited to very flat concrete. I’m all about the electric board life. Have 3 electric skateboards and 2 one wheels.
@@yeti_riding5612 how about a rip stick seems like the same concept with the middle wheels but then you can use the standard skateboard wheels to “edge”

Love the video but filming yourself with camera in front of face is very dangerous. I was reading about Michael Schumacher head injury and theory was go pro helmet mount was factor. Camera can hit forehead
You could have gone snowboarding at Sunshine Village, Banff Alberta. It closes May long weekend every year.
So does this feel more like skateboarding or snowboarding?
I’m a decent snowboarder but an
Absolute trash skateboarder.
Happy to see you getting out there having some fun off the mountain. These travel restrictions are madness especially out here (Ontario). Getting back into skateboarding to keep me entertained for the time being! Keep it up homie! :D
Is this board still just a gimmick or is it actually a proper board now, I mean does it ride and not break all the time?
Your side slides and edge control are amazingly sick 😂😂😂😂❤
I live in the southern United States Tennessee to be exact and we don’t get much snow so this is really cool too me
Did you get the launch pads?
Did you throw the foot holds on yet
Next ride I’m going to try the foot holds!
@@SnowboardProCamp great. I love your videos. Love the SBX. My 10 year old son and I watch your videos and ride the summerboard as well. He cruises and slides at 25 mph plus. Great to see you on it. Looking forward to your next videos.
Kevin, tell me about the shoes you are wearing…thanks, Mark
okay these are sick but $1600??? what the absolute fuck lol
Yeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
Yewwww
Hell ya!!!!
Where can I get one? 😅
Why not, just, you know, skateboard.
They have ones called freeboards also,
Freeboarding is crazier
It’s the same lol
@@Ghostyfrost9688 I’d like to see you bomb a 30% decline on that thing lol, you can only do so much with that. Not saying it’s not cool, but you can’t go as fast my guy
It'd be easier to learn to E-Freebord (Summerboard/LeifTeck) on a Freebord. Also put the bindings on!
Carving that pavement 😩👌
Sometimes we run it from the public eye. I'm right here for you. The skill set. To do what we need to do on a honest level. Who can do that? Who wants to do it. When you see me on the highway. I had to just pack and go. I can't live a lie. Will a day come when I finally get to you?
If you wore a skate shoe it would help your stability
Just got a pair! Thanks man!
Just get a one wheel. They are amazing, you can do trails and jumps when you get it.
the whole point is this and freebords are pretty much simulating snowboards. Its not a gimmick they have the same mechanics in mind. I own a onewheel as well, and it is nothing like snowboarding, although still fun as hell, just not the same. Don't mock it till you've given it a proper go bud.
Agreed, it looks fun. Just looks like it’s limited to very flat concrete. I’m all about the electric board life. Have 3 electric skateboards and 2 one wheels.
@@woodywoodpecker3643 this is way closer to snowboarding. You really should go for it if you have the money
Does it butter tho?
The faster you go the easier it is to carve
Getting use to more speed!
Anyone knows how this compares to the Evolve Gtr electric board?
That's like comparing an apple to a carrot
@@yeti_riding5612 how about a rip stick seems like the same concept with the middle wheels but then you can use the standard skateboard wheels to “edge”
@@fudgicles1000 can't slide on a rip stick, also a rip stick has independent front and back, very different mechanics.
I got one of these just after season ends, I was planning to do a review on the summer board in a snowboarders perspective too!
Hey I think they are supposed to have the straps it makes it much eaiser
Hi
Thanks for checking this out! I’ve been looking at it as a commuter board, but the learning curve with the spinners has me scared for being on busy roads
Looks sick, but the price point on this thing is ridiculous!
Freebord is the real thing. Try it 🤙
This is a freebord with motors
More importantly a freebord with brakes
Cool. I got a freeboard. Its like a unmotorised version.
if i could afford one id get one lol
I really think that you would like the Onewheel better. It is a much easier learning curve. Carving on it feels like a powder day
Yes I've been wanting to find a summer version of snowboarding!
You at missing the binding part that come with the board. Without the binding you are not getting the true experience,
