A new film by Push Kiting features MBS Pro Kite Team riders Lewis Wilby, Dave Ursell and AJ Philipsen in yet another epic kitelandboarding movie filmed in Frinton.

2010/11 Boardercross Racing Highlights from the ATBA UK Championships
Harry Jessop has put together this video which really shows what racing is like. Racing has always been and probably always will be one of the more popular disciplines when it comes to mountainboarding. In terms of competition entries there are regularly more than twice as many people racing than in the freestyle. There are many important elements to being a great racer. The start is important – if your not out front early on then you have to work a lot harder, but it can sometimes pay off. The start is a massive burst of energy. It is almost always followed by a roller section. This is where the technique really comes into it. A great racer can build a lot of speed on rollers, where as a bad racer will lose speed.
The turns are the most tactical part. You want the fastest line but at the same time, you need to stay out of the melee. If a rider goes down you need to be able to get around him and not just pile into him, slowing yourself down. Despite all the technique, and fitness, luck is still a major factor. On race day it is all about not making mistakes.
Enjoy the video, and share it to help show the world how much fun mountainboarding really is.
Tom and Mick ride Moscow Skate Park
Last February Tom and Mick Kirkman headed out to Moscow where they hold a massive mountainboard exhibition in an arena. In their downtime they get to live it up and hit some cool spots around town. One of which was this epic mini ramp. These indoor ramps are great places to ride in the winter when the weather is a bit grim.
Spring N Ting – Looking back at 2011
As we head into winter here is a look back at spring and summer 2011. The footage covers all kinds of antics but it really does confirm it has been a summer of rad. The tricks have gotten bigger, better and smoother than ever!
Kirkman Brothers in Winter Training
Sam Sutterlin has released a video from his time spent in Cornwall chez Tom and Mick. One day they went down to Mt Hawke skate park for some intense winter training. It is important to keep riding and practicing even when the weather is not so good if you want to be the best. Mt Hawke need to sort their lighting out in there, not great for filming.
Green as Grass – landboarding documentary
Green as Grass is a documentary supported by Flysurfer about pro kitelandboarders and Flysurfer (and MBS!) teamriders Yusca Balogh and Lennart van Schuilenburg explaining what drives them in Kitelandboarding and why they love to kite on the land.

Tom and Mick try a bit of acting. The result? Some sick mountainboarding. What Tom does Mick does.
New MBS Pro 95 Promo Video
A quick overlook of the new 2012 MBS Pro 95 – Retaliation. Joe Dickson took the first board in down to Bugsboarding for a test ride. The footage really shows off the new graphic by Dan Wilson. Kudos to Joe for doing the big drop at Bugs with the GoPro in his hand and keeping it focused and pointing at the board.
The MBS Pro 95 features a Reverse Cap Composite deck, Matrix Pro trucks, Rockstar Pro hubs, T3 tyres and F4 Pro bindings.
