I was introduced to mountain boarding by Rob Griffiths on an old school MBS comp 16 pro on a "hill" that was about 5 metres long and somehow got hooked. One of the best aspects and attractions of mountain boarding for me is how creative it is. It can be done on any terrain, any size jump and mixes the smoothness and elegance of surfing with the snowboarding style and stunts which makes the possibilites endless and gives it no limits. Props go to Rob, Will, Mark and Connor who have given me some sweet memories and laughs.
Personal Quote: Tricks evolve, spots change, trends fade, but mountain boarding is forever.
