Snowboarders - Keep On Riding In The Off Season

By Baxter Wells

Snowboarding is a great activity to take part of in the winter. During the winter months you can enjoy the snow and the chilly outdoors by carving and bombing down the slopes.

As winter turns into spring, snowboarders head off of the slopes and put their snowboards away until the months roll away and winter is back again. Everything they worked on that winter will be put on hold, and their skills will become rusty as they wait for winter to come back.

In the off season, instead of letting your skills take a couple steps backward why not take several steps forward by picking up a sport like mountainboarding? That way you can work on your skills during the off season and not get stale.

The sport of mountainboarding is much like skateboarding but instead of only being used on paved surfaces; it can be used on grass, gravel, dirt, and pavement. Small rocks and sticks are no problem for the large, inflatable wheels.

Mountainboards will usually have either foot straps that the rider can just step into without locking their feet in, or the kind that is like a snowboard, where the bindings keep your feet stuck to the board.

No longer will you have to stick it through spring, summer, and fall without hitting the slopes. With this all terrain sport you can continue to ride the hills long after the snow has left. You can keep on having fun in the off season.

Many snowboarders interested in the freestyle aspect of snowboarding, spend their time learning tricks. When the off season comes all that they learned is put on hold until the snow comes back. When they get back on board, many find that the new tricks they learned are a little harder to pull of at first because of the long break they took during the off season. Mountainboarding helps you stay sharp.

Having a mountainboard can bring new light to the off season and allow you to keep on honing your skills and your tricks. You don't have to get rusty in the off season. With one of these you can learn new tricks and have fun during the spring, summer and fall months.

I recommend to snowboarders that want a way that will help them get better during the off season to try out mountianboarding. It is a great way to keep on riding the slopes after the snow has melted. - 29951
