Flowboard (14 wheeler skateboard)

The patented 14 wheeled Deep Carve System (DCS) is what sets the flowboard apart from any other board design. On a flowboard you can carve thru 45° turns with smooth, fluid transitions from edge to edge.

How does it feel?

Just like surfing, fluid, smooth, responsive and highly maneuverable. You feel very close to the ground and can feel the board "edges" touch the ground as you carve!!!



What Flowboard sizes are there?

 

How Does it turn?

The heart of Flowlboard's patented DCS (Deep Carve System) technology is its geometry. Since the trucks don't actually move, turning is a result of the arced relationship between the wheels of the front trucks and those of the back. The board is primarily on only two wheels most of the time. As the board is leaned over, the next pair of wheels continue the turn. The geometry has been optimized to produce a smooth transition throughout the board's turning motion.



Is it hard to ride?

If you can ride a regular skateboard you will find it easy enough to hop on a Flowboard and start linking fluid turns immediately. At low speeds, not much faster than just standing still, the board feels less stable than a regular skateboard because you are standing on an arc. Stability can be compared to riding a board with loose trucks. Once you get the board moving, it gets stable (just like a bicycle) and within a few minutes, it feels natural.



Can you do tricks on the Flowboard?

Most tricks that are possible on a regular skateboard are possible with Flowboard with the obvious exception of grinds. It also depends on which board you get. The 36"is the best board to ride if you want to bust tricks. Most people who already skate can pull off just about all the basic flip tricks on both these boards within minutes of first riding them. The 42" is a longboard so its harder to do throw it around especially if you're a smaller rider but is awesome for downhill carving!!!



What is the axel made of?

The axle is completely rigid and made of hardened steel.



Do the wheels rub?

NO, there are spacers inbetween each wheel keeping them from rubbing.



Where is the best place to ride?

Flowboards are specifically designed for downhill carving but are also fun for just cruising around. Rolling hills with sidewalks and driveways are also great to crave. Higher speeds should be avoided. On steeper hills, its best to carve back and forth across the slope- Don't bomb straight down the hill. The 32" and 36" is also great fun in skateparks, bowls, snakeruns, etc...
