ENDLESS SUMMER!

Summer's here and mountainboarding season is in full-effect. With the meat of the riding season comes the addition of even more NEW MBS products. And these NEW products rock!

All you ROCKSTARS out there get ready for some serious bling! Gold and Black! Same sturdy RockStar Aluminum construction and attention to detail now come in shiny new colors!

The 7th annual Bolder Boulder Mountainboard Rail Jam was as rockin' as ever. Rain hampered the crowds a bit but the riding continued hard-core. This year, actually because of the rain, we implemented a new Contest Format,  "Longest Grass Slide" contest.  Although the rules were a bit sketchy it made for a LOT of fun. See below for results and pictures.

The T-Shirt design contest is over and now the voting starts! There are some great designs to choose from. It's up to you to select the WINNER! See below for voting details. Congrats to all you artists out there!

Bottom line......there's always a lot going on at MBS and we're psyched that you're always a big part of it.

NEW ROCKSTAR PRO ALUMINUM HUBS - GOLD!


Extruded from the strongest 6061-T6 aluminum then precision CNC machined, these hubs are a thing of beauty ready to take the beast of your abuse. And this year, we've made them even better by increasing the stiffness of the nylon rim spacer so they can handle even higher pressure than before, a change we hope will secure this hub's position at the top of the podium for years to come. The only choice for high-pressure freestyle riders!

NEW TWISTAR HUBS IN A VARIETY OF COLORS!

The revolutionary MBS Twistar hub design takes all the hardware out of the traditional two-piece hub, and replaces it with interlocking teeth that are molded right into the hub itself. So just a simple twist of the hub with your tire deflated is all it takes to assemble it. The result is a hub that is lightweight, strong, totally rust proof, and so easy to assemble / disassemble that you'll want to change your tubes / tires just for fun. Ideal for freestyle riders - especially kiters.

NEW FX PRO HEEL STRAPS!

FX Pro Heel Straps are the most advanced heel straps on the market.  They're both light and comfortable, but their specialized shape and rigidity prevent them from ever falling down off your heel so you can feel 100% secure in your bindings at all times.  And if you want to ride without heel straps for certain tricks or terrain, just flip the FX Pro Heel Straps up over your bindings where they'll stay until they're needed again (next trick, next ride, or even next season). FX Pro Heel Straps come stock with Cam-lock Buckles. For riders with F2 bindings or F3 Cam-lock bindings, or for any "adjust-aholics" out there, MBS recommends upgrading to F3 Ratchet buckles.  FX Pro Heel Straps are not compatible with F1 or Freeflex bindings.

ADAM COLE'S DOG "HOOCH" - ENGLAND


"At the moment we just go boarding along some trails in a local field by some woods. It's nice and quiet so we can get some speed up without having to worry about running anyone over - or having to stop (Hooch is slowly learning 'Woah' but we're not 100% there yet)!  As for hitching a ride, they're both always too busy pulling, although Hooch does like to stand on the board as you can see.
We're moving at the end of the month though, and will be living right next to the Chiltern Hills, which means we'll have lots of new trails to discover on our new board!!"
