Star Wars Meets Mountainboarding
Posted On 03/13/2008 03:40:19

Couldn't add this video to the video section because it's from dailymotion.com.

Kind of an odd combination to see mountainboarding and Star Wars together in the same video, but the special effects are pretty good.

Mountain Shocker out of business?
Posted On 02/16/2008 18:54:06

Anyone remember the mountain shocker? It looks like they are no longer around, or at least their web site is gone http://www.shockertrucks.com

Anyone know what happened to them?

Posted On 02/03/2008 10:32:51

Heyo everyone. This is hands down quite possibly the most amazing mountainboarding trailer I have ever seen!

Onefive Media just released the trailer for their video Shralpdown, and it looks pretty... well... you'll just have to see for yourself!

AkoniKama.com finally updated
Posted On 09/28/2007 14:52:40

Akoni Kama

 

Akoni Kama holds 30 mountainboard titles and is a mountainboarding pioneer. He has been boarding since the earlier days of mountainboarding and was recently featured in the Disney original film, "Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board."

 

If anyone can remember what his web site was like before he updated it (it hadn't been updated for several years, and the forum was infested with spam advertising x rated sites), you'll be pleased to know that it was recently redone.

 

They canned the forum, but there is now a store where you can buy mountainboarding gear and boards. check out Akoni Kama's updated site.

Dirtsurfers Are Great
Posted On 09/19/2007 13:33:35

But they aren't great for jumps and boardslides.


I love Dirtsurfers, don't get me wrong. They are great for speed, but they are pretty hard to jump with and boardslide with. This video is the first one I have seen of someone trying to boardslide with a Dirtsurfer.



 




Mountainboarding Gains Exposure
Posted On 05/17/2007 15:22:20

The Disney Channel is creating a mountainboarding movie called "Johnny Kapahala: Back On Board" scheduled to air in June.


 It is going to feature stunts done by riders such as Leon Robbins and Akoni Kama.




Really nice flatland mountainboarding tricks and others
Posted On 05/03/2007 00:20:41

There have been many times when I've been riding on my mountainboard and someone I'm riding by yells, "Do a trick!"  I always say I can't do anything, because really, I didn't know of any and couldn't do anything.


 I was just browsing around youtube when I came upon these two sweet videos.  The first one has a sweet flatland mountainboarding trick that I have never seen before.  I can't wait to try it out myself.


The second vid is just full of sweet mountainboarding tricks, along with several that I have never seen anyone do before.


Just goes to show that there is room in mountainboarding for more tricks!
