THE RACE IS ON!
The long awaited Twilight Showdown Mountainboard Championship is next weekend and racers from around the USA are descending on Kansas for one of the most epic events of the summer. Will you be there?
If you want to improve your riding, then ride with someone better than yourself and races are the perfect venue. You'll always feel welcome at a mountainboard race even if you are a beginner or intermediate rider.
Remember, regardless of how you do at a race you'll come home with a smile on your face knowing that you met new riders and pushed yourself a little bit further.
MBS is always coming out with new products and this month are a few new items for your closet. New shirt and hats! Check 'em out below!
After a long period out of the mountainboard scene Pro Rider Jereme Leafe is back and in top form. Look for Jereme at some of the biggest races around the world.
Happy trails from the crew at MBS and see you out in the dirt!
