I bought an 08 Freebord last week at SOS, thanks lads.
Bought some Troy Lee Gloves and a Pryme helm so I could practice snowboard on the streets. AND ITS THE BEST FUN IVE EVER HAD ON A LAND SPORT.

Unfortunately, I went down a hill too big and too much for my skill and almost killed myself last wednesday.

I was carving it up and pulling some sweet slides. It really is addictive, but the hill was just too big, I had no Lid on and I was going wayyy too fast for my skill.

I came off around the bottom of the gradient doing about 30ks, hit my head, then my skull onto the concrete and got an Acute Subdural Hematoma. (basically a blood clot inside my brain).

Was VERY LUCKY apparently, 60 to 80% of people in my situation die from that fall.

So Im on house arrest, Girlfriend arrest and kite arrest for about a month, anyone want a Brand Spankin (not Cursed at all) 08 Freebord?

Suggest a Price...Seriously its haunting me.

How much do you want for the lot? My GF wants to try kite landboarding so I might be interested if it's suitable.

not the greatest sales pitch saying you almost died using it, and then trying to sell it. lol
