The Techniques and Unique Aspects of Free-Heel Boarding (Teleboard)
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. 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 boarder is to use all these possibilities in a coherent free-heel boarding technique, and to exploit technical elements from other sports (monoskiing, skwalling, snowboarding) to sublimate them with the free heel.
This is the challenge of this book.
It provides an introduction to free-heel boarding, the unique Nordic boarding snowsport. Various free-heel boarding techniques are described.
