Yibb Snowboard Helps to Learn Snowboarding – Does It?

yibb1

The Yibb snowboard was developed to help young children ease into snowboarding and allow for easy movement down the slopes. Although designed for children, this helpful slope-shredder can also be used by rookie adults who need a little more help with learning snowboarding.

As they say in Yibb home page, “the Yibb is a snowsports product that can be mounted on to any standard snowboard. It allows you to snowboard without the use of bindings: your feet are not attached to the board and you ride with the use of your entire body, including your hands”.

This gives not only a new riding experience, but also a new way to learn snowboarding. May be it makes learning even more fun as you don’t crash every three seconds.

The Yibb was invented to open up snowboarding to everyone. It makes snowboarding accessible to kids from 3 years old. This makes me really interested, because my daughter is currently three years old, and I want to teach her skiing and snowboarding. But will this thing really teach real snowboarding or is it just a crutch that will be useless for learning proper technique?

Yibb is mainly for young children

Yibb was invented by Dutch designers who have their background in designing products for sports and outdoor. Read more about the history of Yibb and the designers in Yibb website.
