Can you just buy a mountain board and then find the nearest hill or do you need to go to centres or whatever?

Well yeah you can go anywhere just its best to get permission from land owners or you tend to get lary people after you :p

Centres are great beacuse of the tracks and propper constructed jumps.. but then a woodland free style run can't be beaten :p

Argos in Yorkshire have all the big brands {this is the website now }

what do you think of the MBS Core 16 ATB

OR the Renegade adult Mountain Board .

This will be my first board but want to get a profesional one so i can do the big stuff without changing boards .

Cheers

mountain boards

Postby jamie » Tue Oct 12, 2004 11:06 am

If you live near a tubes surf shop that'd be aa good place to head for. the staff are really helpful and can do some good deals. theres a few different boards you can get too so you're probably better off bringing him with you
