what is mountain boarding?

Important Information - Please Read

The minimum age that we can allow to ride at redhillextreme is 8 years. Under 16s will require a parent / guardian to sign a liability disclaimer / acceptance of risk form before we can let them ride. If you are bringing other peoples children with you, please print off a copy of the disclaimer so their own parent / guardian can read and sign it themselves (follow the link above).

Mountain biking and boarding are inherently dangerous sports. Like in all sports, accidents do happen and can sometimes be serious.

All riders (young and old) ride entirely at their own risk! All riders must wear a helmet! Helmet hire £2

Find out about our introduction to mountain boarding session

Mountain Boarding is an exciting new sport that over the past 10-15 years has developed from snow and skateboarding (combining skills of both), it is now a sport in its own right, with a national series and competitions all over the world!

Mountain boards have a snowboard style deck with foot bindings (similar to a wake board) and trucks (similar to a skateboard), with 8"/9" pneumatic tyres.

The best place to learn is an open patch of short grass with a gentle gradient, similar to our nursery slope (pictured top left).

Mountain boarding doesn't have to be taken to the extreme and can be enjoyed by the whole family, so there's no reason why mum and dad can't have a go as well. . .

Like mountain biking and all extreme sports, mountain boarding is inherently dangerous!
