abstract:Freeride is a discipline of the sport longboarding. Freeride is the compound word referring to the act of descending a riding surface interspersed with various maneuvers such as semi-perpendicular slides by breaking traction and carving (riding in an 'S' shaped path).
With the Freeride I have trekked across the Alps from Chamonix to Zermatt, spending more time going up than down, and I have spent seven-hour days doing downhill laps using Snowbird's 125-person tram in Utah--all on one set of skis.
