FreestyleMax has proven to be popular with Australia's peak snowboard instructor body the Australian Professional Snowsport Instructors (APSI) association.

Warning: The Snowboard Instructor is not a human being, remember it is made of a plastic compound and will break if stretched too hard. Not all freestyle positions humanly possible can be replicated on the Snowboard Instructor but we have tried to ensure there are enough joints to work on the basic grabs especially the method.

Create your own new trick or focus on the basics. What you do with it is up to you. Whenever you're stuck indoors or just trying to show a mate what to do, grab the FreestyleMax Snowboard Instructor and flex him into position.

Pro rider Anthony Leffelaar says:

“whenever you're watching a snowboard movie you can get Freestylemax to copy the tricks they just did on the movie”
