Snowboarding is a great activity to take part of in the winter. During the winter months you can enjoy the snow and the chilly outdoors by carving and bombing down the slopes.
As winter turns into spring, snowboarders head off of the slopes and put their snowboards away until the months roll away and winter is back again. Everything they worked on that winter will be put on hold, and their skills will become rusty as they wait for winter to come back.
To help your skills stay fresh, and not turn moldy during the off season now you can continue to hone your skills after the snow has long been gone. This off season sport for snowboarders is called mountainboarding, and it is an excellent training tool to use when winter has gone.
A mountainboard is a beefier version of a mountainboard and has large wheels that allow it to easily roll over small sticks, rocks, and rough terrain. It can be used on dirt, grass, packed sand, gravel, and paved surfaces.
Most mountainboards will have foot straps that are either the kind that you can just step into without having your feet locked in, or they are like snowboard bindings in that they lock your feet in.
Why is it a good off season training tool? For starters, when the snow leaves, you can keep on riding the slopes in the spring, summer and fall months. Normally you would have to wait to have fun until winter, but this way you can enjoy the spring, summer, and fall months.
If you are a tricks kind of snowboarder, you probably spent winter perfecting a few more tricks. After the off season you probably came back and found that you were a little rusty with your new tricks. To fill that gap and help you stay sharp, mountainboarding offers you a chance to keep on perfecting your tricks, or even learn new ones.
The bottom line is that a mountainboard can be an excellent tool for learning new tricks, and staying sharp in the off season. A mountainboard can be taken off of jumps, used on rails, and you can pull off all sorts of freestyle tricks and practice new ones. Dirt and grass aren't the same as snow, but at least this way you get to have fun in the spring, summer, and fall months doing something other than getting rusty.
For any snowboarder that is looking for a way that they can keep on having fun in the off season with a board sport that will help them continue to improve, I recommend you try mountainboarding.
