How did you get into Mountainboarding?

I saw an MBS Demo at a show, I had a taster lesson and have been hooked ever since.

Why do you Mountainboard?

To keep me sane.

How do you stay motivated?

It doesn’ t take much to keep me motivated to ride, but making videos for Instagram/YouTube helps, plus when I watch them back it makes me want to ride again. Mountainboarding is also a nice break from life and work, so I guess it helps with the motivation that way too. 

Where have you traveled to Mountainboard?

All around Europe and a little bit of USA

How do you get others involved in Mountainboarding?

Teaching kids at Bugs Boarding, sharing cool videos online & doing backflips for people at skateparks.

What does the future of Mountainboarding hold?

More Riding!

Who are your 3 favourite Mountainboarders?

Emlyn Bainbridge, Lewis Sams & Tom Reece.

Favourite thing about Mountainboarding?

The people.

What do you do outside of Mountainboarding?

Make videos, get stressed, and think about mountainboarding.
