........Hello riders, boarders and shredders in general! And of course all other wheelie board slider enthusiasts! This is one thing we all have in common......we all LOVE to slide downhill sideways. It's amazing something so simple can provide so much enjoyment for so many people in so many places. So....without further adew let's get on to this month's eNewsletter.
As usually you can find great mountainboard shots in our Rider Pics section but look out especially for the youngest shredder yet to fly down a mountain. This kid could be the future of Canadian mountainboarding. Speaking of shredding......I still can't believe how sick Jereme Leafe's Bridge Rail Slide is. Check that out in the Rider Videos section. And in case you missed it's release earlier this month you've got to watch the "Shralpdown" movie trailer. Sick. New. Funny. Dirty. OneFive Media is really outdoing themselves. Also this month we have another amazing Tutorial by "The Professor" Jon Diurba. This guy knows his board and riding like nobody's business. And finally make sure to take a look at my trip to Australia in the Event Report section. I only did a few days of riding but managed to ride some very cool terrain but some great local riders. And, after all,.......that's what it's all about.
We hope you enjoy our Dealer Spotlight section and have a chance to visit your local MBS Dealer to show your support. We'll be spotlighting more Dealers in the months to come who are doing their part to grow the sport. Click here for MBS Dealer Locator: http://www.mbs.com/findAStore/default.asp

January's Board Winner - Richard Behiel - Angels Camp,CA
I am so excited to win!!! I can't wait to ride my new board! Thank you so much for giving me this board, and I will make sure to ride it every day for the rest of my life. Oh, and I normally ride trails and also I set up ramps and practice on my grabs and spins.
AIR PADRE KITEBOARDING - S. Padre Island, TX
"The MBS line up of mountainboards has enabled us to broaden the kiting activities and lessons programs we offer. Kite Landboarding has been popular with students as it is much easier to learn than kiteboarding, yet offers as much or more adrenalin for the experienced rider. As the sport of kite landboarding grows we continue to be amazed at the stuff the younger guys are pulling off; the other day I saw a dude grinding a hand rail down some steps while flying a kite. You think its tough with a skateboard alone...."
"To all the current and future riders we invite you to stop by the shop and check out the MBS line-up. For those that are already up and cruising we have a try before you buy program, and also lessons for the beginners. We are located at 5709 A Padre Blvd. South Padre Island, TX or call us at 956-299-9463."
"For any body into kite-landboarding south padre island offers some great terrain and unmatched wind conditions. From the endless sandflats along the bay to the miles of deserted beaches to the north (offering incredible downwinders right along the surf of the Gulf of Mexico) South Padre is definitely getting a name as a kite-landboarding destination."
Captain Jeff Hoxtell - Air Padre Kiteboarding
BLAIRSVILLE BIKES AND BOARDS - Blairsville, Georgia
"We here at Blairsville Bikes & Boards (BBB) are stoked to be MBS dealers. BBB is involved in the local riding scene, and are looking forward the attending this summer’s event at the Trailer Park, Atlanta's premiere mountainboard Park. This past year our team the Soup Mafia which consists of skateboards, mountainboards and a BMX rider, raised over $2,000.00 for the Wounded Warrior Project."
Thanks, Randy Denniston
