FACTS Mountainboards are apparently becoming so popular that the US snowboarding team use them during summer training. PRINT THIS PAGE View a printable version of this page. Mountainboarding has been described as snowboarding on grass or a cross between skating, snowboarding and mountainbiking, and in the past has very much been seen as a sport that UK snowboarders do when they can't get to the snow. Take a look at some boarders in action Things have moved on since then and now it is very much becoming a sport in its own right, with riders coming straight into the sport rather than crossing over from skating or snowboarding.

http://classic.mountainzone.com/mtboarding/
M ountainboarding combines surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding, and mountain biking to make every slope a playground, every hillock a jungle gym of possibilities. Developed by garage engineers, the first mountainboard experiments combined short snowboards, with skateboard trucks and lawnmower wheels for that knobby off-road feel. Since then, the boards have become smaller, the wheels bigger, and the suspension systems more advanced. See for yourself... The Story The Photos The Animations The Videos ...

A Thing Called Mountainboarding
I n the 1970s, to the first crazy skateboarders who were putting big, fat wheels on their banana boards, it was called dirt-boarding, earth surfing, or any other number of names. By nailing loops of old bike inner-tubes on the top of the skateboard, riders were able to strap in and bomb down the closest hill around. This was all-terrain skateboarding at it crudest. T his backyard hobby had a few things working against it: first of all, there were no brakes. Stopping consisted of jumping off at high speeds or trying to power slide the board sideways. This didn't always work so well. Secondly, the boards didn't turn very well. The skateboard truck system tries to slide all four wheels by friction in order to make the board turn. This works alright if you are on a smooth surface and all four wheels have contact to the ground but, that's rarely the case off-road. You basically had to pick a straight line through something (bushes, trees, dogs, etc...) and try to hold it. The short wheel base (length) of the skateboards also made them very unstable, bouncy platforms when going over rough areas and relatively small, hard wheels didn't work on any thing much but hard dirt and short grass. O ver the years, people kept tinkering with these things and started to make improvements. Longer skateboard decks (3 to 5 feet),and even snowboards were used. Lawn mowers were a favorite thing to cannibalize for their big, inflatable, treaded wheels. Sky hooks for your feet were used in place of the nailed down bike inner-tubes and skateboard trucks were jury-rigged to allow for a wider width and the bigger wheels. Inventors started making frames, to which the decks and wheels were mounted, from stolen shopping carts and old bike tubing. All of these things were leading up to the last few years when the backyard inventors started to really get things together.

    The US OPEN MOUNTAINBOARDING CHAMPIONSHIPS is the sport's most prestigious event. This three day event features the world's best riders ripping down the slopes for the titles of men's and women's US Open Champion. The championship features two challenging and thrilling events - Dirt Boardercross and Big Air. Dirt Boardercross consists of heats of four riders charging head to head down the mountainside. The course is similar to the Boardercross track used in snowboard races…only on dirt not snow. The riders fly down the mountainside over rollers, through bermed turns and blast of jumps to the finish line. Big Air is just that. Similar to big air contests on the snow, the riders launch themselves off of a huge jump and perform incredible aerial maneuvers. US Open Mountainboard Camp - run in conjunction with Camp Snowmass. August 12th is qualifying day for the pro mountainboarders - and a free slopeside concert will end a day of fast paced action. Pro riders will thrill the concert crowd with high flying jumps at the big air arena adjacent to the music venue. Friday features high speed downhill racing all day and an outdoor movie under the stars. Saturday is the big day! Immediately upon culmination of the Big Air finals, a second free concert will be held on Fanny Hill. As the sun starts to set a popular band will take the stage and music lovers will eat, drink and dance the night away.

    Mountainboarding by Sean, Ben and Neil
    A mountainboard is a kind of skateboard on steroids. The decks are big, the wheels are rubber, and your feet fit into bindings. When we mountainboard in Southern California, we notice that our boards ride differently when the tire pressure is higher or lower. Sometimes the wrong pressure makes us feel out of control. Our question: Which tire pressure will let us maintain speed and control through turns? more...

    Looking for a wild way to get an adrenaline rush this summer? With a mountainboard , you can get that same rush of extreme sports no matter what the terrain or weather.
    What Is A Mountainboard?
    Mountainboards are a combination of a snowboard and a mountain bike. It's a board with bindings that has tires and a suspension on the bottom. The tires and suspension are really what make mountainboards so cool. They can be used anywhere - paved streets, dirt roads, sand dunes, grassy ski slopes or rocky terrain. You can even use mountainboards on a BMX track or in a skatepark . The possibilities are endless but freeways and through the mall aren't recommended (those fat, slobby mall security guys are always lookin' to bust someone.)
    Mountainboard Safety
    If you're just starting out on a mountainboard , you should definitely The Mongoose Varmint wear all the proper safety gear (it's much more painful wiping out on rocks or dirt than it is on snow) and get a board that comes with a braking system . For minimum injury and maximum fun , it's recommended you wear a helmet , knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, gloves and a pair of sneakers with strong ankle support. For your first few rides, it's also a good idea to

    Availability: In Stock
    The Razor is Ozone's full-race kite. A sleek race profile with a high performance arc creates the fastest kite Ozone have ever designed. By integrating profile technologies learnt from both kite and paraglider developments, Ozone have built a very high-speed kite which produces low drag when tacking at slower speeds. For the less technically minded, this simply means there is much less chance of being lifted out of your buggy. A sophisticated inboard braking system, a semi closed leading edge and a high aspect ratio combine to help the Razor deliver smooth power both across the window and through the turn. This is a highly efficient and clean wing designed for ultimate performance. Just as Ozone's paraglider design has always been driven by the need to make wings cutting edge yet user friendly, the Razor has also been designed to be accessible to a very wide range of pilot. The Razor delivers direct, smooth handling at very high speeds but with a level of exceptionally user-friendly stability that means all competent kiters will be able to enjoy it's turbo charged performance.

    OTHER @ www.boarding.com Photos Msg Board THE THRILL OF MOUNTAINBOARDING: THE EXPLOSIVE YEAR-ROUND SPORT FOR SNOWBOARDING DEVOTEES Mountainboarding is an adrenaline sport that combines the best aspects of snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding. It offers the thrill of snowboarding on a variety of terrains during the off-season; long after the snow has melted. With mountainboards, outdoor enthusiasts are no longer restricted by weather patterns, limited types of terrain, or icy or windy conditions. The rapid growth of boarding sports in the U.S., from snowboarding to wakeboarding, yields 20 million eager sideways-sliding consumers, all yearning for a sport that is yearlong in nature, limitless in terrain and places to ride. Mountainboards are fitted with bindings and come in a variety of models, depending on the rider’s skill level and riding preference. The key difference from a snowboard is in the tires and suspension. Mountainboards come with a comprehensive selection of off-road tires and high performance suspension for virtually any kind of terrain, ranging from paved streets, BMX Tracks, dirt roads, grassy ski slopes and even rocky terrain. MBS mountainboards can be equipped with a reverse V brake, the company’s proprietary technology. This is especially helpful for beginners who are learning how to ride as well as advanced riders who prefer more extreme terrain such as steep single track.
