Time is Running Out

Posted on 24 February 2009 by admin

Time is running out to get your winter mountainboarding photos in to Mountainboard.net. The beginning of March will start with a end of the “Defy Winter” series of posts. We want your winter ride photos to be a part of it so you need to submit them now!

In parts of the world where snow is on the ground, snowboarding rather than mountainboarding seems to make more sense. But that doesn’t mean we have to lock our mountainboard up in storage. There’s always a hard packed section of snow somewhere, or a melted out slush fest waiting to happen. Grab your camera, a couple friends, and your mountainboard and help Mountainboard.net illustrate this up coming article.

Submit photos to Editor@Mountainboard.net.

Time is running out…

DirtFlirt 2008

Posted on 18 August 2008 by ryan

Boardology’s mountainboard girly camp, “DirtFlirt 2008,” was a huge success. The following is their report on the event:

The boom in the number of people taking up boardsports in the UK over the last 10 years has brought about an exciting twist the evolution of the female species. These once demure, fine Mountainboard girl learning to jumpcreatures who sat on the sidelines cheering on the fellas are hatching out of their molds with frenzied speed, sticking a board to their feet and are KICKING BUTT!! This wonderful creation has provided the opportunity for the development of the ‘Girly Camp’ concept where girls can go and learn to ride and grow their skills in a girl-only environment.

So, for years there have been surfing camps, snowboarding camps and skate camps, but last year girl-owned internet board sports retailer Boardology.co.uk teamed up with South West some of the girls waiting their turn to mountainboard at DirtFlirt mountainboarding campMountainboarding Centre in Devon to present the World’s first Mountainboarding Girly Camp. Following on from its success and a demand for more, the 2nd Camp (now nicked-named ‘DirtFlirt’ camp), hosted by Hales Superbole Mountainboarding Centre, has just chucked out its latest bunch of mountainboarding graduates after a gruelling 2 days on the lush hills of Chester.

Twenty gutsy girls ranging from newbies to accomplished riders hit the slopes under the expert guidance of the Hales Superbole ATBA qualified instructors. After splitting the group into ability level, the newbs were taught the essentials such as powersliding and carving whilst the advanced group mountainboarder doing some freestlye trainingtackled the kickers and boardercross, polishing their technique and style. The girls were further inspired by an impressive freestyle demo by the Hales superbole team, Ladies World Freestyle Champ Jos Kirkman, and Sophie Friedel. Confidence mounted throughout the day and after a very civilised stop for tea and cake even the newbies were flying off the kickers and nailing indie grabs! The evening’s campfire was surrounded a very stoked bunch of girls especially on presentation of the goody bags stuffed with amazing array of cosmetics from Lush, Les Ettes and the Co-op, vouchers from Scar Tissue, stickers from all the sponsors, Boardology t-shirts, gear from Brunotti, Northcore and the DirtFlirt trademark knickers!

Day 2 saw no end to the achievement with confidence levels peaking and everyone trying something they had never done before with spectacular results. The ominous weather held off until all mountainboard girl planning her decentwere huddled under the shelter of the Superbole hut for the prize-giving. At that point the heavens opened in a triumphant downpour – a fitting tribute to the very weary, bruised but exceptionally proud ladies of the 2nd Dirt Flirt Camp.

Prizes included a Fat Face Mountain board, MBS Atom Longboard and MBS Vixen Mountain board; Clothing from NIKITA, SP snowboarding gear, MBS and Scar Tissue; and Perfume by Les Ettes, Accessories and DVDs from Brunotti and Wind Designs; and 2 VIP tickets to the Fat Face Night Air Freestyle Champs.

Most Improved Newbie Rider award: Felicity Bullamore (Cooler Magazine VIP winner)

Runner up: Amy-Jayne Dutton

Most Improved Advanced Rider: Vicky Holmes

Spirit of the Sport Award: Vicky and Kyrienne Holmes (Mum and daughter duo)

THE SEARCH FOR “THAT GUY”

In Last week’s “Dirt of the Week” we kicked off an official search for the identity of the rider whose you tube video we had been watching. Well we found him! Turns out it was the amazing Nicky “Stirrups” Geerse, who rides with BFC. Stirrups has done a lot more with the sport of mountainboarding than tweak a couple 720 attempts so we contacted him and conducted a mini interview which will be posted later on this week.
