It’s inside every lover of mountainboarding. It can be found somewhere beneath the dirt and pads, and the blood, and the mud. It’s an unexplainable addiction to the ride that drives us like animals to move the sport wildly forward. It inspires and motivates, it dissolves limitations and boundaries. Mountainboarding is truly a unique sport.

Many mountainboarders began riding as an off-season alternative to snowboarding, or to fill in the gaps of surfing or skateboarding. This however, was only the beginning. Over the years, mountainboarding has blown away the early expectations of the sport. Riders have learned ways to tame the chaotic nature of the sport and by so doing have redefined the sport along with it’s potential.

The desire to push this sport forward to new levels can be seen in even the newest of riders. Mountainboarding is still a relatively new sport in many parts of the world which seems to light a flame of inspiration inside of us all. Open for interpretation, this is a sport always ready to be redefined.

Even in small quiet pockets of the earth, places where mountainboarding is know my only a handful of people, there are those who strap in an represent. Hundreds of miles from the nearest mountainboard center, mud covered riders drag there boards up nearby hills or along windy mountain ridges in search of thrash-worthy terrain.

All of us are united by this desire and feed off the same addiction. We all have our own way of expressing ourselves, our own way of pushing forward. Some of us bring the sport to new levels in fast paced competitions. Others never compete in a single event but redefine the limitation of mountainboarding as there wheels roar through mountain canyons, or down steep jungle hillsides.

Regardless of skill level or location, every rider who calls him/herself a mountainboarder has something to offer this sport.
