Surfing Dirt Mountainboard Forum

One of the guys i ride with is involved with them, hes been riding one of their decks for a while, and loves it.... Ive messaged him on facebook to lookin here and give you some info...

I've not tried them myself, but I know the cable disc brakes are good. The only issue I can see with them is the lack of protection for the disc.... If the disc gets bent by rocks it will likely need replacing, I guess it depends on what kind of terrain you'll be using it on. A more robust alternati...

Its fine until you start trying to scrub speed by driving up the verges....

Best evidence of a good day mountainboarding = still feel like your riding as you close your eyes to sleep;-)

Edit from our footage shot in Whinlatter Forest - summer 2014..... 2015 date to be announced soon;-)

Sorry cant get embedded code on my tablet

Gettin excited now.... Bring on those mountains:)

There is a campsite very nearby, not sure ofthe name, i'm pretty sure the details are on oneof the old winlatter threads. I will have alookwhen i have abit more time and post the details.

9s and the ABS would be best combo, a brake isn't essential but it is useful. Most of the tracks are firetrack, rideable on 8's, but silky-smooth on 9s - there's some tight and twisty DH MTB tracks, a lot are too rutted/tight-cornered to be much fun, but a few add some interesting extra bits to the ...

I feel like a runaway dog coming home for his dinner..... Howdy all, hope your all well, beleive it or not Ive been under a text-book shaped rock for awhile now, still managing to get out riding now and then ,but with time for little else:-( Some of you may be interested to know that we are planning...

Finally got round to editing some of the footage.

Interesting stuff, it would be great to get more variety into the terrain in the comps. As a side note Rog, if you could get permission to use the footpaths at the top and bottom of the Whinlatter DH track, you would get a nice mixed terrain track, the singletrack at the top is well surfaced and sup...

Llantrisant is worth checking out, nice wide firetrack, which is great for carving on, and there is also some interesting stuff between the trees!

You probably want to make sure you've got powerslides down before you hit it tho, it can get quite fast if you don't carve.

Interesting, so your estimating around 350 mountain boarders in the UK?

3 out of the 4 Trampa ratchets I bought about a year ago went the same way within 2 weeks of each other........:-(

Where did you nightride/ride today?

We rode the comp track, but hit the singletrack into it, and then the singletrack at the end too:)

Yeah, it was so good of the campsite to accomodate the hoards of people that turned up!

Stuff like this

I sell and install exotic audio visual equipment to people with a lot more money than I'll ever have:-(

hope you dont mind me adding and how do you strap and to what (if other than helmet)? Velcro, you can get it in strips about 50mm wide with super strong adhesive on. Slap a big bit of the hook stuff on either side of your helmet, and either wrap the loop stuff round the torches or fashion a flat pa...
