Freeride Mania
Landyachtz have jumped onto the bandwagon and just brought out their new freeride models.

Its interesting how freeriding is the in thing at the moment. The most sought after wheels are now the freeride style wheels with the lack of lips and contact patch and most the videos we see these days are Canadian dudes forgetting they are actually not riding their snowboards. Everything is about freeriding now.
Is it only a matter of time before the fad ends and we are back to the Zig style wheels? or will something entirely new set the market?
Square wheels anyone?

Never!!! Freeriding is not some fad, its just another component in the lifestyle that is skating. Think of it as a form of self expression on a longboard, just like vert, street and sliding. It only adds another element of style to the sport. But I do agree with you on how big it is right now, its the same as full on DH was 5-6 years ago and DH ain't goin nowhere. So now manufacturers have noticed the need for a board that suits the needs of a DH'r and a free rider. Variety is the spice of life, different stokes for different folks.
ps. I'll try square wheels, wot have i got lose!
