Definition: Freestyle snowboarding is defined as the discipline most closely associated with skateboarding. It involves riders performing tricks in the halfpipe and terrain park, in urban environments, or elsewhere using both natural and man-made features. As the name implies, there is no right or wrong way for a freestyle snowboarder to ride.
Pronunciation: [free-stahyl]
Examples: I spend most of my time in the halfpipe, so I ride a freestyle board.
