June 23rd, 2012

Every year we have a World Mountainboard Day. A day where we make sure we get out on a board and have fun with friends no matter what. The great thing is that mountainboarders all over the world will be doing the same and that is what makes it special. It’s amazing then to see all the photos and videos that surface online in the days afterwards. This year we would like to make WMD bigger than ever! Riders all over the world have their own little events so you dont have to travel far. Just help us out by doing your bit and spreading the word and riding your board! Ride On!

Join the Facebook Group HERE and post pics and video of this day for your dirt friends around the world!

Just in time for the holidays Atom Longboards has just added to their already comprehensive line of longboards. Just added are the Mini Retrohs and Electric Longboards. Now there’s a longboard for every possible use. Need a board for downhill? Check. Need a longboard and carving? Check. Need a mini board for your backpack? Check. Need a board with some electrical power? Check.

If you’re looking for a little more 70′s in your life, or just wanting the most convenient way to cruise around town / campus you GOTTA get one of these.  The Atom Mini Retroh is essentially a revamped version of the original plastic injection-molded skateboards (aka banana boards) that were born in the heady days of feathered hair and fuzzy black-lit Black Sabbath posters. But with its super high-grade urethane wheels (62mm), ultra-precise ABEC 9 bearings, high-end polycarbonate deck, and performance 80-grit grip tape on top, the Atom Mini Retroh is sooo much more.  This 21″ beauty may be the funnest thing you’ve ever ridden, fit in your backpack, and bring a smile to your face every time you look at it, but trust us, it ain’t no toy.  After all it’s not the size of your board that matters.  It’s how you use it.  Grab one today (before your best friend buys the color you wanted first).

Click HERE to buy.

Looking for a little more POWER in your life?  Buy the Atom Electric longboard and you’re feel like a bonafied benevolent dictator as you cruise your neighborhood, uphill and down, without ever breaking a sweat. Want to waive to one of your subjects?  No problem.  Either hand will do because the cordless remote controller (throttle and brake) leaves your hands totally unrestricted.  Use the built in brake to stop and talk to the admiring masses who would love to know how it feels to silently carve around town / campus with 600W of power underfoot.  No smelly fumes or head-splitting motor noise, just pure quiet electric power that recharges while you sleep so it’s ready to ride afresh with each new day.  Feel the power with Atom Electric.

600W/36V Motor;  Battery: 9Ah,12V,3pcs;  Max speed: 30km/h;  Ride time per charge: 1 hour;  Distance per charge: 20 miles (32km);  Recommended Max Rider Weight: 200 lbs;  Oversized PU Wheels and Torsion Truck Bushings.

Saturday was 4 man boardercross at the Pikes Peak BMX featuring newly built starting gates giving riders plenty of speed to blaze through the track’s multiple pump features and three huge concrete berms. Thanks to the BMX crew for sticking around and operating the hydraulic gates and drag-race style start lights. Very cool.

Racing was  followed by Freestyle at the MBS “Backyard” dirt park featuring a newly constructed starting platform complete with stairs. A nice improvement over last year’s dirt mound starting area. This year we used two big blue wood jump ramps to launch over the 20′ and 16′ dirt table tops. Freestyle was followed by a stall jam and big beats by DJ Nicky “Stirrups” Geerse and DJ Matty “Dirtmonk” Kenoyer. The stall jam and DJ set was followed by the party to end all parties at the “Treehouse”. For more information on the “Treehouse” party talk to someone who was there. But as far as activities it featured all you can eat buffet, a dance party, a nail slam and a crate stacking competition followed by almost burning down the house.

Sunday was a mellow yet intense Freeride day starting around noon. Riders basically could choose from freeform mellow runs through the woods or more intense and technical rock drop areas. Honestly this was some of the funnest and amazing riding i’ve in a long time. Riding was followed awards and dinner and drinks and live music at the Sedalia Bar and Grill. American style.

A big shout out to all the sponsors that donated prizes. Altitude Sickness for the event shirts and hoodys, Cuso! for the sweet longboard decks. Team Phun for the cool beanies and bandanas, and Billy Goat Moving for helping move stuff. Also an ultra big thanks to Jon Diurba for making all the new Starting Gates and Freestyle Roll-in and an amazing milk crate stacking ropes course at the party and of course Matt Kenoyer for running the bobcat and moving a few tons of dirt. Thanks also to Greg Harris, Jade Lee, Cole Shipp, and Justin Dersham for helping run the event, mc and judge. And anyone and everyone else who helped out and rocked out.

Thanks a ton to everyone especially those who came from very far away such as the Utah crew from………Utah, the Silva’s from New Mexico, Gerald Paul New from Alaska, the Startin’s from Missouri, Mica from California via France, and Dylan Warren from Australia. Now everyone get out of my house and go home! : )

BOARDERCROSS, FREESTYLE & FREERIDE MOUNTAINBOARD WEEKEND

Colorado Springs, CO – The Fifth Annual “Fall Classic” Mountainboarding Event will be held again in Colorado Springs, CO home to the world headquarters of MBS Mountainboards. Top riders from around the world will be looking to win their respective categories and take home the “King of the Mountain” crowns by being the best in all three disciplines. Riders will be competing in Boardercross, Freestyle and Freeride disciplines. The Fall Classic is one of the largest mountainboard events in the United States and riders of all ages and abilities can compete. Expect to see top pros like Dave Stiefvater, Devin Garland and Cole Shipp from Colorado go up against Nicky Geerse from Holland and Dylan Warren from Australia among others.

Saturday starts off at Noon with the hotly contested Boardercross races at the Pikes Peak BMX Race Facility located behind Rampart High School near Lexington and Union. Riders compete head to head in this double elimination format race. The rider who can navigate their way the fastest over dirt rollers, jumps and through tight bermed curves while at the same time beating their fellow race contestants will be victorious.

The second half of the day will take place at the MBS “Backyard” dirt terrain park where riders can show off their launching, jibbing and freestyle skills. The park features a 35’ start hill, two 20’ table top jumps and several rails and box features. Expect the pro riders pulling the hugest airs, the most spins and the highest flips to come out on top. Saturday culminates with Freestyle Box Jam and Live DJ music on-site.

New this year is our Freeride Challenge. This takes place in the woods near Rampart Range Road 7 miles outside of Sedalia, CO. 30 minutes north of Colorado Springs. Riders compete in runs through challenging “natural” terrain performing the freshest tricks and smoothest lines while keeping wrecking to a minimum. There are several large rock features and a few small cliff drops to contend with. The “Velvet Elvis” award will be given to the smoothest rider of the weekend.

Look out! It’s bound to be a fantastic event for both riders and spectators alike.

Sponsors include MBS Mountainboards, Altitude Sickness, DirtStar Army, Team Phun, CUSO!, Dirtmonks, Dyad Clothing and more!

Thanks again to all the riders, spectators, Vitamin Water, MBS Mountainboards, Unity Snowboards, Lewis Sweet Shop, 1860 Tavern, Picci’s Pizza and the rest of the sponsors, without you this event wouldn’t have happened! We also want to give a big shout out to Sean Anderson & the Washington crew who spent the last weeks prepping the venue for the event.

I was fortunate to have recently taken a spur of the moment trip up to Alaska. I wasn’t planning on it. I just barely got his phone number before I left. Called him up. It happened to be the day before World Mountainboard Day. Gerald Paul New from Homer flew in on his small plane and we ripped it up. Like the old days. Find a place, scout it out, and ride it. We shared beers at the Yukon Bar later and reminisced about old spots, old friends and old boards of course. It was awesome. I look back on it now and realize how precious those 2 days were. But I also realize how great it was to know him for the many years I did.

He was true Colorado. He moved to Alaska to ride the real stuff he said. He said “Colorado was a training ground for Alaska” with a wild look in his eyes. You know this look if you knew Jason. He was glad he had the skills he did to manage the Alaska backcountry as a snowboard guide. And he was making a name for himself up there. Certainly as someone who was not afraid to take risks. I thought for sure I would be hearing about this tragic news after he was buried in an avalanche or drifted off a cliff while guiding in a snowstorm. But alas it seems to be the common mishaps that do these kinds of things.

Jason drove off in his truck and I waved goodbye certain I would see him again. Thinking about the care package I needed to send him. More tubes. More tires for sure. He was shredding his tread pretty bare. But that didn’t stop him from riding.”
