same question here
Maybe it has much better all terrain ability, but with my regular longboard i can carve much better on the road than with this one...Looks nicely designed too.. a bit like the bmw skateboard but less expensive.
good luck with the product!

Thanks for your interest in Flexboardz!!!
Let me give some details:Independant tiltables wheels compared to classic longboard design will give a much better grip and deeper carving (you can lean much more without sliding).
It's basically the same difference than between a motorcycle and a car or an inline roller and a quad roller.
Believe me there is no comparison with a regular skateboard when it comes to carving...
In addition, independant wheels are more confortable when rolling on uneven pavement or all terrain.
But the main advantage of a Flexboardz is to reimplace the mechanical part by flexible elements so you have naturally flex, pop, spring...with a much lighter/cheaper boards.
Indeed, when you look at it closely, mechanics has nothing to do with boardriding...flexible materials (fiberglass, carbon...) are the right stuff like for snowboard or surfboard.
Have a nice riding day
