Ask A Skater, Part 3 or 4, I Lost Track

Ask a skater.

Please define freeride. What exactly is it? And how would I go about a "freeride". 

Thank you!

Dear Random Guy,

Freeriding is an amazing thing. It is normally associated with speedboarding, because when you freeride, you normally go fairly fast. It differs from speedboarding, though. The point is not to make it down the hill the fastest, but with the most style and most fun. Typically you drift around corners, do stand up slides and highspeed carving.

It is very difficult to explain, so I'll show you some videos,
