How did you get into Mountainboarding?

One day, as I was walking at a mall, I saw a weird skateboard with all terrain wheels, later in my life I met a guy who told me there was a mountainboard park and association in my home town that i had no idea about, once I checked it, I never left.

Why do you Mountainboard?

Because it's fun! I like the adrenaline and the freedom to ride anywhere, big wheels don't care if the ground is wet or dirty.

How do you stay motivated?

Riding with friends and witnessing someone getting the trick they want, trying new things or just the idea of being able to get to a new spot and do a line full of tricks very casually.

Where have you traveled to Mountainboard?

Bugs boarding in the UK, L.A. park in France. (This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it!)

How do you get others involved in Mountainboarding?

Riding skateparks and public places, posting clips and teaching people at our park in Sintra.

What does the future of Mountainboarding hold?

Hopefully, more dirt and rails. Also a bigger community and more people sharing what they do.

Who are your 3 favourite Mountainboarders?

Dylan Warren, António Macieira, Mael Baudoin.

Favourite thing about Mountainboarding?

Riding with friends, even better if it's a rail session.

What do you do outside of Mountainboarding?

Software development. 

Building, flying and crashing fpv drones.
