Freestyle snowboarding, which combines tricks and acrobatic moves, is a dynamic sport. The sport is popular in ski resorts, and sometimes even in the backcountry. The principal goal is to perform moves along the slopes while landing on natural features such rails or halfpipes.

Freestyle can be done on a variety of snowboards. They can be either soft or rigid, and may include a rocker/reverse camber. Depending upon the type of riding that you do you may prefer an allmountain board or a directional one. A directionalboard is a snowboard that allows for greater maneuverability and better carving. A all-mountainboard, on the other hand is more suitable for larger jumps.
The twin is a popular shape for freestyle snowboards. In fact, the twin shape is the most common type of freestyle snowboard. It can be a bit different in style but it's better to choose a true twin shape.
