Flowlab Flowlab Skateboard Alternative Board Sports Review

Flowlab Flowlab Skateboard


Description
Flowlab Skateboards turn any street into freshly groomed powder. The patented 14 wheeled "Deep Carve System (DCS)" allows riders to carve with the power and flow of snowboarding or surfing. Most skateboards reach their turning limit at about a 25 degree angle; Flowlab Skateboards carve to over 45 degrees with the edges of the board just millimeters from the ground. Most skateboards use rubber bushings which add unnatural resistance in a turn; With Flowlab Skateboards, no bushings mean zero resistance in a turn and no speed wobbles, letting you carve deeply and smoothly rail to rail.

Summary:
Don't waste your time getting a flowboard, they're lame. do your research and get a FREEBORD. I've been clocked doing 45 mph and have never experienced speed wobbles. tear up your local neighborhoods, turn any paved hill into your summertime-session. look at the difference on youtube and you'll be set.

Summary:
Flowboard is not what I recommend. FlowBoards are not fast enough, and im usually traveling at 5mph. The carve would be fine if you could go a little faster, and if the 4 outer wheels didnt go offside too much, and start skreeching. I put on some ABEC-7 bearings for more speed and actual carve. Flowboards come with ACEC-3 rated bearings, and dont get enough speed so you should also change the bearings if you consider buying a Flowboard. I've also had bad experience with the turning.When going downhill to catch speed, I get speed wobbles.It also weighs 9 pounds, so it's tiring going up hill unless you carry it with you.

Reviewed by: Derek ,  Snowboarder , from SF Bay Area

Summary:
Yo, make sure you get the real deal Flowlab DCS. I've seen some knock-offs out there with 10 wheels instead of 14. The 10 wheeled versions DON'T work. You can't get the same turning, if at all, on the knock offs.

I've been riding the DCS for more than a year now and I have 2 of them. The largest (42") and the mid-sized (36").

These boards are insane, and YOU are insane if you pass them up. Carving the streets snowboard-stylie has never been the same.

Customer Service:
The best! Call the 800 number and chat with the Flowguys until you're blue in the face. I had like 50 questions for them before I got the second board.
