Question

What the difference between freestyle and freeride snowboards/snowboarding??

Answer 1

freestyle

-dedicated to tricks only (park)

-twin tip (can go both ways equally well)

-feet in the middle

-usually softer to to tricks better  

-softer boots usually to be able to tweak the board

freeride

-directional (designe for one way, can be used both ways)

-floats well in the powder due to the setback stance (feet closer to tail)

-made for off groomed trails but handels them great also

-harder boots to be able to carve better and give better high speed stability

-softer nose then tail usually to float better in powder

Answer 2

freestyle = park/rails/boxes/jumps that stuff

free ride = like all mountain board for a mix between everything (good at everything excellent at non basically)
