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 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. Our Discover Mountain Boarding intro course is the perfect introduction to this very accessible extreme sport, you can realistically expect to be carving down the hills by the end of the session and be set to continue the sport on your own. Bruises guaranteed - you wouldn't want it any other way!

On arrival at the centre you will be met by your instructor and supplied with all the kit for your session which includes the mountain board, helmet and pads. You will then be given a safety briefing, determine whether your stance is regular or goofy (left foot forward or right foot forward) and learn the principles behind the most important move in mountain boarding which is stopping or if you want to be technical, power sliding! 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. A really fun half day, a great experience.
