Extractions: In 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. This 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.

Extractions: SPECIAL TO THE POST-INTELLIGENCER A couple years ago, a TV commercial featured a daredevil mountain skateboarder flying off a mountainside with effortless grace. He then planted his face into a pile of loose shale and tumbled downhill. The ad cut to a shot of several Gore-Tex-clad observers climbing into an SUV and wondering aloud: "What was he thinking?" Loren Callahan / P-I Leon Robbins catches air off a jump at St. Edward State Park. Staring down a small hillside at Seattle's Woodland Park with a mountainboard strapped to my feet for the first time, I'm asking myself the same question. "Don't worry," says Dave Dirickson, 32, who's been riding mountainboards for about four years and is serving as my instructor for the day. "Just don't look at the things you don't want to hit."

Extractions: By Rod Walters You stand at the top of a rough grassy slope on a board attached to wheels. The slope is strewn with half-buried rocks and there are patches of scree dotted about. Mountainboarding is both old and new. The basic mountainboard is not really that different from skateboards that have been around for years. It's more rugged and the wheels are bigger with knobly tires, but the principle of turning left and right by leaning forward and back is the same. It's new in that it owes much of it's popularity to snowboarding that has only recently become a major sport. There are several basic mountainboard designs. Perhaps the best boards come from countries not blessed with even decent snow. The fittingly named 4-wheeled NoSno and the 3-wheeled Starkboard are from the UK, while the Outback is Australian. The bog-standard Mongoose, MBS and so on are all bigger, heavier and not quite so cool. For oh-my-god design, nothing can beat the DirtSurfer which is barely a board at all. This is the fastest rig of the bunch and is best suited to wide carving. The obvious problem with riding a wheeled board down a steep slope is slowing down and stopping. You can jump off a skateboard, and maintain fine control of a snowboard with the edges, but you need to be strapped onto a mountainboard and it has no 'natural' speed control elements. This problem is solved by making wide turns across the slope to control speed where there is space, hanging on for dear life when there isn't, and the power slide for coming to a complete stop. Low tire pressure will also result in lower speed, as of course will riding on gentler slopes, both of which are highly recommended to start off.
