Mountain Boarding, also known as All Terrain Boarding (ATB), is an extreme sport that has really exploded in the UK over the past few years and is seriously good fun. A Mountain Board is a kind of a cross between a skateboard and a snowboard which can be used on slopes covered by grass or sometimes dirt. The basic principle behind Mountain Boarding is fairly simple - get down the hill having as much fun as you possibly can. Nice. Our 1 Day Introduction to Mountain Boarding is our comprehensive intro course and is great for those who are serious about learning as much as they can about the sport before investing in a Mountain Board of their own. Top course, extensive tuition, after this course if you carry on like you have started you'll be competing in no time!
Experience Content
On arrival at the centre you will be met by your instructor and supplied with all the kit for your day which includes the mountain board, helmet and pads. You will then be given a safety briefing, determine whether your stance is regular or goofy and learn the principles behind the most important move in mountain boarding which is power sliding or if you want to be technical, stopping! It is then off to the junior slope to have a go! You will practice your power slides and then be shown how to perform moves such as toe turns, heel turns and how to carve down the hill. You can move on to the big slope as soon you are ready where you can continue to practice your new skills and be shown how to use the drag lift. The full day course is really good for gaining confidence and getting to grips with the sport, the instructors are on hand to help whenever needed and if there is a particular riding style that you want to focus on such as Boarder X or Freestyle then this course will allow you the time to do so. Kickers and grinders here you come!
