What started out as an in-your-face beginners’ training manual, has exploded into much more than that. “23 Sessions Later, The Freeriders Guide to Mountainboarding” (The revised editon of “Beginner to Thrasher in 23 Sessions”), takes freeride mountainboarding by the horns, disects its most essential elements, and lays them out into 23 intense training sessions that you do at your own pace. Beginner or not, these 23 sessions will help you improve your ride.

“23 Sessions Later” is written by Ryan Saunders, Cheif Editor and long time writer for MountainBoard.net. In each of the 23 Session, Ryan presents the training objective, gear required, and information on the ideal location (terrain material, level of steepness…). Then using a focus-based, goal oriented approach, he walks you through the training using his usual entertaining approach you’ve seen in his articles.
Many riders have already discovered the benefits of applying “23 Sessions Later” to their riding. Some have been beginners who have been able to tear through obstacles that normally halt the average newbie. Others have been more advanced riders who decided to give the training a try, it is because of their success with the program that the title has been changed. No longer is the word “beginner” even mentioned in the title, that is because of the nature of this training. It will transform your riding regardless of your skill level. All you have to do is be willing to train.
Aside from the new title, this edition is illustrated wtih photos graciously contributed by Pro Riders: Jason Lee (MBS) , Tony Dogga, and Akoni Kama. “23 Sessions Later” is in a digital format (ebook), so you can download it directly to your computer and start training today. Give it a chance, you wont regret it!
What Do Other Riders Think About It?
“I wish this resource had been available when I started to mountainboard. I learned through a combination of trial and error, poor articles on the net and barely comprehensible videos on Youtube. If I did not have a background in snowboarding I think I would have struggled. This e-book takes you from the very basics of falling correctly,maintenance and basic turns up to multi-terrain trips to the mountain through a series of incremental skill practices.”
-Neil Matthews: Creator and former owner of Mountainboard.net
“I bought the book because of a lack of ‘how to’ mountainboard books. I have a number of mountainboard DVD’s but few of them provide much in the way of help and tips. I recently enrolled in a mountainboard course which I found really useful and no amount of DVD’s or books can replace practice, but I take your book with me and can put your advice into practice. Incidentally, I have laminated each page of the book, which protects it from the elements…I found it very useful and it is an essential piece of kit in my board bag.”
-Tony: Mountainboarder currently in “Trasher Training.”
