THE RESULTS ARE IN!
The results are in and it's official. Mountainboarding rules! You know this already right? Sometimes it's fun just to think about how much freedom there is in mountainboarding. Every part of the world, any time of the year and any style of riding.
Lots happening this year and the Fall season is just around the corner and with it comes some of the best riding of the year. Cooler temperatures and the fall leaves are just a few things making this time of the year so nice.
Great events happened this summer and more events are slated for the next few months....so in case you think the season is over once school starts, you are mistaken. It's still on!
Happy trails from the crew at MBS and see you out in the dirt!
The Twilight Showdown! oh...and it was a showdown alright!

Camp Snowmass - End of Camp Contest
Jereme Leafe and friends at Camp Snowmass this year.
"It was a great event! We had 18 kids between the ages of 6 and 11 and we broke the ages up into 6 to 7 years olds, 8 to 11 years old, and women’s. There were two girls that both did big air and one of the girls Jaime (6 years old) rode against the only other 6 to 7 year old boy Ben in the boardercross. They both rode the whole boardercross course!
Ben took home the prize board because he was the only 6 to 7 year old to do boardercross and he won the big air for his age group. Jaime won the women’s big air as well and went home with a hat, shirt, and some candy from a store in Snowmass.
For the 8 to 11 year olds there were about 8 kids racing and there were some very close races and passes on the last berm. In the end Murry took home first place. Murry has been up at camp for at least 3 years now and has made huge improvements year over year. Murry also won the big air!
What a cool event! I was stoked to be a part of it and really "see" the future of mountainboarding."

Devin Garland on the MBS Roadie Slicks.
"The MBS slicks are pimp mc pimpen in the skate park. I get clearing to flat almost every time, until I had to go slower. It's weird because in a skatepark you usually never seem to have enough speed. It was smooth like butter baby. Pro rating "Best Tire Ever". Love them, no street rider should be without them!"
