Freebord Manufacturing released the G3 Trucks and deck graphics today. Building on a tradition of rider driven design, the new trucks enhance Freebord’s unique ride, bringing the feeling and control of snowboarding to the street.

In response to growing demand and rider feedback for a more aggressive setup, Freebord has improved and redesigned the trucks to provide enhanced durability, strength and responsiveness for riders of all levels. The trucks were developed by a team of snowboarders and product designers, specifically engineered for technical precision and better control.

Truck Features
o T6 cast aluminum base plates and hangars
o Wider base plate footprint for more responsiveness
o Flat hangar design and extended bracket for more stable grinds
o Locked-in base wheel bearing for improved durability
o Redesigned base wheel bracket with no-slip adjustment notches
o Larger, higher grade base wheel for added durability

Decks
Freebord also released today three new series of deck graphics in varying sizes: Elite, Haze and Riot. Light, responsive, and solid, these decks are designed to bomb the steeps with total control and stability while still being light enough for airs. Suitable for riders of all weights and heights, all of Freebord’s decks come gripped and are made with 7-Ply, Canadian rock maple.

The deck of a Freebord resembles a large skateboard with four fixed wheels mounted on wide trucks that extend beyond the board. These wheels simulate the edges of a snowboard and are used for carving. In addition to these four edge wheels, the Freebord has two additional base wheels on the board’s center line that rotate 360 degrees. These act like the base of a snowboard allowing riders to initiate slides in any direction, check their speed or stop just like they would on snow.

Freebords can be purchased on the Freebord website or in selected retail stores in the USA or throughout the world. For a list of domestic retail stores or international distributors visit the store section of the website: www.freebord.com.
