I'm so glad you have this video! I just got my first one from you guys and it's really nice just so much bigger than the skateboard that I was really good on when I was younger... I want to try to go on the trails near my house with my siberian husky , I'm still not so sure whether I should take her or not, I need to get used to being on it myself, so I'm so glad you have this video cuz I really had no clue how to start!!!
I used to ride my bike with two dogs running on leashes at once. From what I know about combining dogs and sports, I guess you first need to get really used to the mountainboard. And then maybe try it on a small hill with your dog to see if it's compatible. Some dogs tend to run intentionally in front of you in the worst possible time, or bite the wheels, or whatever they want.
The boys might want to add to or comment on this, but I have found that rotating your shoulders and hips in the direction of the turn and looking into the turn with your head enables you to carve tighter and more controlled turns. The upper-body rotation is transmitted to the board through the knees, and leverage to the board is increased the deeper your knees are bent. Makes sense, doesn't it? Look where you want to go, not where you are going, rotate your shoulders and hips in that direction, and transmit that rotational force through your knees. The way this feels when you're on the board is that you are driving turns in the direction of your toes with your knees, and you drive the turns in the direction of your heels with your butt. See if this helps you think about what you are doing and how it feels while you are doing it.
One of the problems I've had to solve is how to execute a J-turn to stop when you don't have enough real estate to do it. The experts will tell you to do a skid-turn by squatting down, grabbing the board with your rear or uphill hand, and skidding the rear wheels while steading yourself with your gloved downhill hand on the ground. If that sounds risky (especially on pavement), there is an intermediate step: the hop-turn. If you will watch the video (link below), you will see these riders routinely executing two types of hop-turns with ease. There is the front wheel hop-turn that keeps the rear wheels in contact with the ground, and there is the rear hop-turn in which the rear wheels may leave the ground or they may just be unweighted enough to skid across the ground. Either way the radius of the turn is tightened. You will also note in a close examination of the video that a succession of hop-turns may be done, each one tightening the radius of the turn or creating a track that is a series of hop-turn S-turns.

I got this old Mongoose with some wear on it. 39" long board, super wide standard kingpin trucks bolted onto the nose and tail. Thick Velcro straps bolted to the deck. The baseplate pivot cup is chipped on one truck. Hoping I could swap out the baseplate with another regular truck. No idea how old the board is, or if the original quality level for it's time
A good pair of leather work gloves at about $15-$20 are Kinco out of Oregon, the best place I’ve found for the largest selection is at Coastal Farm stores. I bet they had fifty different models of Kinco gloves, I bought two pair of their insulated Ski gloves at about $35 can’t be beat, if you’ve a mitten guy check out their ski mitten. Kinco gives you NixWax to condition the gloves before use, just preheat the oven to Low, place gloves in oven for two minutes, remove gloves and put them on, squeeze entire package of NixWax into palm and rub content into gloves especially in the seams, place in oven again for two minutes, remove and place on paper towels
+Xstepher It depends on how much you have to spend of course, but the new Colt 90 (with constellation graphic) is an awesome entry level board that would work really well for your size. There were a lot of upgrades to this board compared to the old Colt line. If you have a little more to spend the Core 94 is nice because it has the new F5 bindings which are a huge improvement over the F1 bindings that come with the Colt 90. If your budget is flexible the NEW COMP 95 is probably the best value for money because it has the NEW Matrix II trucks as well which are incredible. Great for everything from entry level to advance. It's board you won't grow out of now matter how good you get.
The trick is to push with your rear foot without touching the rear tire. It's difficult. Your front foot is fixed in place on the board, the board is pretty wide and the trucks are even wider, and so getting your rear foot wide enough to avoid hitting the rear tire puts a lot of rotational stress on your front knee. It can be done with practice, and I suggest that a fair amount of that practice should be on your living room carpet.
this video has heavy 90s vibe, lol...but now I'm convinced that I'll get a mountain board soon so thank you
Really nice introduction to mountainboarding. Beginning to like it. I live in a hilly area.
what a great intro for a beginner

I'm fall in love with the mountainboard 🤩😍

awesome! love the new videos guys! keep them up :D
Fantastic video. Great job.
Just ordered my first mountain board, coming from years of skateboarding and 2 years of riding dirt jumps on bikes, I think I should be alright at it
how's it going?
@@curruptxfs9478 great tbh, I love it
@@davesgotsomewheels8611 that's great, I'm starting soon, any tips.
@@curruptxfs9478 start with your straps loose so you can bail out lol. Also just give everything a try. What looks scary often feels great
@@davesgotsomewheels8611 thank you for the advice you legend !
Wow it works so good
This is really good
Mega top 👌
Just bought my 1st board off of FB and I'm glad I found this video.
I got this old Mongoose with some wear on it.
39" long board, super wide standard kingpin trucks bolted onto the nose and tail.
Thick Velcro straps bolted to the deck.

@@Justinbowling1 nice work! did you find this video helpful?
Yes I did actually
where are you right now? this is like the perfect place.
This is so nice😀😀
I have a mbs atom mountain board can I jump with plastic rims
I actually have one of your older boards with with a brake system.
I can use this for just cruising around on bumpy asphalt and sidewalks yes?
just masterba sick turns
How fast is it?
How tall have a mountanboard to be?
So I love snowboarding but I don’t have any snow nearby- this technique seems slightly similar to it!
It sure is, a lot of people Mountainboard in summer to practice for the Snowboard season
I just ordered my first mountain board. Besides the Hillbilly gloves on your website, what other kinds of gloves do riders use?
A good pair of leather work gloves at about $15-$20 are Kinco out of Oregon, the best place I’ve found for the largest selection is at Coastal Farm stores.
I bet they had fifty different models of Kinco gloves, I bought two pair of their insulated Ski gloves at about $35 can’t be beat, if you’ve a mitten guy check out their ski mitten.

Друзі, ваше відео чудове, але цього мало... коли буде продовження? Я...., МИ чекаємо!!!!!
I'm wanting to get into Mountainboarding. I'm 5'9"(175cm). What would be the most suitable size for me?

I just wonder if its still possible to Stop (powerslide) on an surface with a lot of grip like dry concrete/
asphalt
It is
Is it worth buying a break or not?
Any tips on stopping on pavement? I keep biffing it
i have an mbs board but it doesn’t have bindings, only straps. Does mbs sell binding for mountain boards?
We sure do, check out our website www.mbs.com
Best with a kite 👍
Just bought one with a brake, take the brake off or not?
at some point for sure you will want to remove the brake...especially for freestyle. But if you are hitting single tack trails then throw it back on.
onland snowboard?
Uh, what if you always skate with your left foot forward but when you snowboard you skate with your right foot forward??
I have something similar but its got two electric motors
You should show how to fall or what to do when you crash
good idea...
Where can you get one of these?
www.mbs.com 👍
Can you push on flat surfaces and ride it like a normal longboard?
not really
just don't strap your back foot
Sure bud

How did I get here
you flew 🐥

No
i saw illuminat symbolism on one of your decks........ ugly
