A Little bit about us....

All terrain boarding (ATB) or mountainboarding crosses snowboarding with skateboarding. Essentially, an ATB is a snowboard with 4x4 skateboard wheels and a set of multidirectional steering suspension trucks.  The rider surfs downhill, using snowboard techniques to steer and shed off speed through the wheels and trucks.  The feeling is very much a combination of the exhilaration of snowboarding and wave surfing combined.

Started around 1993 in both the USA and in the southwest of England.  Mountain boarding has grown from a small idea as a new way to have fun, into a highly successful alternative and accessible sport.

Our vision is to become the leading European Mountainboard specialists, particularly within the areas of tuition, standards and pioneering the growth of the sport. To help us achieve this, we work very closely with the ATBA-UK, the U.K’s governing body for Mountainboarding.
