Carveboarding is a boardsport on hard surfaces (roads, sidewalks, etc.). Carveboard is also the brand name of the board which popularized the practice of this sport. The board was invented by Californian snowboarder & surfers (David Colley and Brad Gerlach) to practice their moves during flat sea days and summer. The result is a board that shares with the surfing, snowboarding, skateboard ride experience. And although by its anatomy (a board, 2 trucks, 4-wheel) the carveboard looks somewhat like its cousins skateboards, the handling and feel are ultimately much closer to those of surfing and snowboarding. Joe Gerlach, Brads father, started Carve Board Sports based on the design. The practice reminds of, better known, longboarding. However, it emphasizes the work of the turn for which it provides all the variations of the carve. Some models are equipped with pneumatic (air filled) tires, so use on rougher surfaces (asphalt, pavement, hard earth, etc.) is also possible. == Anatomy == The board itself has the distinction of being connected to the trucks by small hinges that allow to tilt the board relative to the horizontal. Thus, the board can tilt up to about 45 °; much more than conventional skateboard trucks. This allows a much more aggressive turn attack, limiting the speed loss in each curve (carving). The possibility of instantaneous change of edge (Rail To Rail), allows to gain speed by flexion-extension as found in "shortboard" surfing and snowboarding. This is the "carving" effect that allows the development of necessary skills to advance one's surfing and snowboarding. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carveboarding」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
