The T-Board is a street surfing board created by Tierney Rides (owned by brothers Kurt and Tyler). The T-Board has two caster trucks on the front and rear, whilst maintaining a normal skateboard design. I guess the design falls somewhat between that of The OBoard and the popular street surfing boards of The Wave and The Ripstik.
The promotion video below shows you some of the excellent carving techniques which can be mimiced using the T-Board as well as the using street surfing tricks such as kickfips and ollies.
There are currently four different models of T-Board which are available. They feature a combination of 41″ Snowboard decks (for aggressive downhill carving or longboard – style cruising) & 38″ Street t-deck (Suited for mellow hills, freestyle riding or aggressive slalom) and rubber wheels (for downhill) or urethane wheels (for flatland/freestyle and light downhill/slalom riding). All T-Boards are currently available from Extreme Pie.

Kinson Primary School look like they had a good day learning how to street surf in aid of sport relief day!
1. Feet need to be evenly spaced on the board across the grips flat footed.
2. Prepare for the 180 by bending your knees.
3. Jump and turn 180 degrees as quick as possible, trying to land back, switch-stance, with your feet landing back on the grips.
Acid Drop
1. Make sure you bend your knees.
2. Shift weight to tail so that the nose lifts before drop.
3. Have your weight towards the back of the board and then shift your weight forward while in the air preparing yourself for the landing.
4. Bend your knees when you land to absorb the impact and try to balance your weight in the middle so you can roll away.
I’m getting a lot of visits from people coming for info on the different boards and tricks but no feedback.. what do you want to see on this site?
This is a good video by the guy who invented the Blade Board which gives you a good background on the differences for those of you who are interested in this subject.
