Description Created to fill the cruising carver slot, the 47 Freeride complete has proven to be a crowd favorite and has become the standard ride of most of the staff.
Summary: I purchased a Freeride 47 by Original Skateboards about 5 months ago and I do not think I have set foot outside my door without it since then.
It is a dream to ride and keeps me honest and carving in the summer months when I can't snowboard.
Customer Service: I had to replace my bushings once and the customer service at Original rocks. I talked to the guy who shaped the board and he took time out to make sure I knew how to change my bushings and everything.
Similar Products Used: I have tried Carveboard, Carver, Flowboard and none of them come close. For me, my freeride blows them all away.

Summary: My god, this board is amazing. I really don't have any reference to compare it to in terms of other longboards but as a sometime surfer and a crappy snowboarder, this thing is heaven.
First off, sure it's about the size of an 8 year old, but don't let that trick you, this thing can take a turn so fast and so easily you'll be left wondering whether you made that turn or not.
The unique trucks are freaking incredible. Why waste $300 on a carve board when this can do all the same things? The board dips down pretty far but the trucks are fully adjustable. So far I haven't edged it yet either.
Considering my lack of skating experience and this relatively lack of time it took for me to get used to this beauty, I'd highly recommend it to all beginners.
Beautiful design, flawless handling. What more could you want out of a longboard?
Customer Service: Incredible, friendly helpful people working their phones and emails. They're always willing to lend a hand and answer a question
Similar Products Used: Used a carveboard b4, but I much prefer the freeboard over it. Rides faster and more responsive to fast turns and less speed wobbles.

Summary: Hi. I surf, but for most of the year I live in Conneticut. There is NO surf at all in Conneticut, so the closest thing to my surfboard is my skateboard. Its great! I can carve as hard as I can in the water, and it feels great. Im looking foward to taking it on a concrete skate park this summer! I believe that there is not another longboard skateboard that is better than original skateboard's. You can tighten up the trucks and cruise for miles, or you can losen them and carve like a maniac. It has really improved my surfing, and I recommend one to every surfer, snowboarder,wakeboarder,skater, or anyone who wants to have fun.
Similar Products Used: Sector 9- the really long one
The sector 9 is CRAP. You can go strait and thats pretty much it. It has little flex and it SUCKS! go with original!!!!!!!!

Summary: I have been skateboarding for 30 years and have never ridden a board like this. It carves like a dream, and slides with unbelievable control.
Customer Service: Scott and Original are going to be a big success. They make sure the customer knows what their getting, they try their best to make sure you know how to use it, and they are truly interested in your feedback. You couldn't ask for better products or customer service.
Similar Products Used: G&S 44" Fibreflex with exkate trucks and abec flashbacks. (Flashbacks are great too!)
