HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM MBS!
This time of year is always exciting for us. It's one of our busiest of the year which means lots of people are getting brand new mountainboards. It's such a great feeling knowing these boards are getting a good home and will be well ridden. These new riders will explore un-ridden parts of the world and help spread the sport of mountainboarding.
This month's Rider Contest is looking for you to write your best "mountainboard" story. Help us spread the sport of mountainboarding in your words. See below for contest details. We are looking forward to hearing about your passion from your point of view.
If you are planning on ordering boards or accessories from us before X-Mas check out our holiday shipping schedule below to make sure you get your stuff on time.

NEW! Pintail Super Carver

Back by popular demand! - The "Lowrider"
MBS’ ultimate low carving street machine. Riding this board is like carving on a magic carpet. The Lowrider’s super low profile geometry allows for incredibly easy pushing and superb carving.
NEW! ATOM 95 (The Atom95X with no brakes!)
The Atom 95 is the perfect board for entry-level riders wanting to experience the thrill of mountainboarding. Beefy deck, F1 bindings and 15.5” ATS trucks give this board everything it needs to perform while keeping some change in your pocket.
