DirtStar Army Facebook Fan Club

Dear DIRTSTAR Army Fan Club,

Thank you for sharing our motto "Live, Ride, Thrive!" - Every single day eat, breath, sleep success on and off your board with the world of facebook.

Established in 2004 a company by riders for riders made its way into the mountain board scene with Van DeWitt, Dave Stiefvater, and Halston Rhodes at the reins of Dirtstar Army. Dirtstar Army essentially is a crew of women and men with one common goal: to make mountain boarding what it deserves to be, which is a legitimately recognized sport, and a household name like skateboarding, snowboarding, or Ipod.
Featuring the talents of many riders who all contribute to the personality of Dirtstar includes riders like: Emily Wallace, Casey Thomas, Mason Moore, Coleen Mooney, and many more. Although Dirtstar has their pro riders, anybody who longs to see the progression of mountain boarding reach levels never seen before by any mountain boarder belongs to the Dirtstar Army.

When the DSA Pro rider's aren't out filming videos, winning competitions, and grinding the gutters off houses, they are out there hosting Learn To Ride events and educating anyone interested on their quest to reach total "gnar" status. By any means mountain boarding can be taken as lightly or as heavily as the rider wants to take it, But regardless, no matter what you do the message is clear: have fun and go ride.

If you've reached this message you've spent too much time on our page and is time to go ride YOUR mountain board.

 

To whoever the owner is...

THANK YOU!
