Adventure Activities Cornwall is a guide to all kinds of adventure activities in Cornwall. They have just written a full feature article on World Mountainboarding Champion Tom Kirkman.
Mountain boarding, also known as all terrain boarding or off road skateboarding is one of the world’s fastest growing sports but still small enough to be super friendly and have a great sense of community. Mountain boarding takes aspects of so many different sports; skateboarding, mountain biking, BMXing, surfing, snowboarding and rolls them into one to create one of the most diverse and adaptable sports out there.

Although not technically riding an MBS board he is still our rider! Lewis has proved his skills on land and water and now he is taking on the snow. Equipped with a top of the range Never Summer SL-R and his trusty Flexifoil kites. Kite photographer Richard Boudia is also out there so we are expecting some great shots to make their way back to us very soon.

It seems to be the place to go this winter. Both Joe Dickson and fellow Pro Team Rider but on the kite side of things Mark Berry have headed out there to get away from the cold. Here is what he has to say:
So I’m out in Australia getting away from the UK winter.. I was staying with the legendary Ryan Slater for a while in Melbourne. Had great times with that crazy cat. Now I have moved to stay with Dylan “Radface” Warren in the suburb of Beaconsfield. Hes got an empty house plot next door so we have been making some sort of ghetto board park. These shots are testing some of the new stuff. It is quite dodgy as you can see, made of rubbish from the building site next door, pallets from here there and everywhere around. Someone had crashed a car into a lamp post and that then became a up rail/pole jam. An old trampoline frame became a down rail and a wall ride. A vert wall and jump were made of random bits of wood and ply from someones bonfire. It all works and we will be having a session with local riders soon.
