Discover Mountain Boarding

Mountain Boarding, also known as All Terrain Boarding (ATB), is an extreme sport that has really exploded in the UK over the past few years and is seriously good fun. A Mountain Board is a kind of cross between a skateboard and a snowboard which can be used on slopes covered by grass or sometimes dirt.

The basic principle behind Mountain Boarding is fairly simple - get down the hill having as much fun as you possibly can and trying cool new moves along the way! Our Discover Mountain Boarding intro course is the perfect introduction to this very accessible extreme sport; you can realistically expect to be carving down the hills by the end of the session and be set up to continue the sport on your own.

Bumps and grinds guaranteed - you wouldn't want it any other way!

* Great Intro Lesson Teaching You the Basics
* Expert Tuition from Pros
* Expect To Be Up & Running by the End of the Day

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your day will begin with a thorough safety briefing covering all aspects of the grounds and the boards. You will then be kitted out with everything including the board, helmet and pads. Once you have determined whether your stance is regular or goofy (left foot forward or right foot forward) you're ready to start learning the principles. It is then off to the junior slope to have a go!

You will practice your power slides and then be shown how to perform moves such as toe turns, heel turns and how to carve down the hill. You can move on to the big slope as soon you are ready, where you can continue to practice your new skills and be saving the walk all day by using the drag lift! An excellent half day experience that will get you involved and on the steep slope to becoming a mountain boarder!
