The Techniques and Unique Aspects of Free-Heel Boarding The first book ever on
free-heel boarding techniques! |

|
Free-heel boarding (also
known as Teleboard) could simply be defined as skiing downhill on a single
board mounted with free-heel bindings. One foot is in front of the other,
along the longitudinal axis of the board. On first impression,
there's indeed a bit of paradox with free-heel boards / teleboards.
The combination of free-heel bindings on a single board leads to an
apparently odd set-up. But looking at it more
carefully, free-heel boarding opens a unique range of possibilities (of
movement, especially) that can be turned into an advantage in multiple snow
conditions. This makes a free-heel boarder perfectly at ease with all snow
conditions and terrains. So what is at stake for
the teleboarder is to use all these possibilities
in a coherent free-heel boarding technique, and to exploit technical elements
from other sports (monoski, skwal,
snowboard) to sublimate them with the free heel. This is the challenge of this book.
