Yeah..I've talked to those guys before.

I want one of those so bad. I am going to get one this spring since I pretty much am missing all of this season snowboarding. No question..it will be in my collection of toys.

Well I've been skateboarding for 7+ yrs and snowboard for 6 yrs..... but I must say that looks pretty tight. Only thing is it takes 1/2 of the adrenaline rush out of bombing down hills. On a regular skateboard there's no brakes either u ride it out or crash n burn, lol. I'd probably be stoked to ride one of those for a few weeks but most likley get tired of it, no way your gonna catch my trying to hit a handrail with that thing haha!! Either way it's great invention.

I've ridden both the freebord (demoed with the freebord guys and" illlogical" at REI. What's up Jeff?) and I have a tierny. I have to say the freebord rides more like a snowboard, but I like the tierny cause you can kick it like a regular skateboard. The freebord gets away from you because of the center wheel.
When you catch an edge on the freebord look out, it's not like the snow, it f--ing hurts!
let me know if you want to take a ride on my tierny.
