Snowboarding is lots of fun. You get to carve down slopes, shred the snow, and ride the lifts back up again and again. Many snowboarders love winter and look forward to it in the off season.
When the snow melts, snowboarders put their board and gear away until the winter months come again. They allow themselves to get rusty until the snow falls again.
To keep your sharp skills from getting dull in the off season there is a cool sport called mountainboarding that you can try. It can help you stay sharp in the off season and even work on improving yourself so when winter rolls around you can be even better than when you were when winter ended.
Mountainboarding is similar to skateboarding or longboarding except it has large inflatable tires that allow it to easily ride over rougher terrain. You can ride it on grass, dirt, gravel, packed sand, and pavement. It will easily roll over small rocks and sticks.
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.
No longer will you have to stick it through spring, summer, and fall without hitting the slopes. With this all terrain sport you can continue to ride the hills long after the snow has left. You can keep on having fun in the off season.
Many snowboarders interested in the freestyle aspect of snowboarding, spend their time learning tricks. When the off season comes all that they learned is put on hold until the snow comes back. When they get back on board, many find that the new tricks they learned are a little harder to pull of at first because of the long break they took during the off season. Mountainboarding helps you stay sharp.
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.
I recommend to snowboarders that want a way that will help them get better during the off season to try out mountianboarding. It is a great way to keep on riding the slopes after the snow has melted.
