So I guess they are called free boards and are to act almost like a snowboard for the summer. Pretty sick!

There are too damn many boards on wheels nowdays - long boards, free boards, skate boards etc.
That thing looks like a death trap to the fact that I can’t even fathom how they stop once they get above a running speed, or even at running speed.
It’s cool on video, may not work that well in practice. You can’t trick them, hit the ramps, all you can do is go down hills while being able to go switch footed/goofy. However at those speeds most people won’t be comfortable in the goofy position so that will only make it more dangerous and you probably won’t switch to it anyway.
With that said, I’d buy one if I lived on top of San Francisco.

Kid on my street has one. Most awkward looking thing ever. You are never really sitting flat unless you can balance yourself on the center two wheels. Most of them are alsp strap in

id imagine you can slow yourself down quite a bit just dragging the trailing edge wheels.
it would suck to catch the edge of those wheels on something though.
