Mountain boarding also known as off road skateboarding or all terrain boarding, still unknown to the masses has been quietly growing over the last 10 years with the UK being at the centre of this growth, partly due to its acres of perfect freeride, great skate parks and the worlds top centres. Mountain boarding takes aspects of so many different sports, skateboarding, snowboarding, mountain biking, surfing and rolls them all into one to create one of the most diverse and adaptable sports out there.

The UK is also home to some of the worlds top riders with the top three places in this world freestyle champs going to English riders and likewise in the world downhill, these riders now run a mountain board media site atcproductions.co.uk, check it out and learn how to back flip with 14 year old Mick Kirkman, see your local centre reviewed or watch the worlds top riders in action.

If you fancy trying mountain boarding for your self there are numerous centres across the country were you can hire all the equipment you will need, get an introductory lesson then rip the hill to shreds, alternatively you could go to mbseurope.com, buy yourself a board, grab a mate an go down to your local park, always remember to wear appropriate protection, respect the land and the people you share it with.
