What is your riding style
I like to think my riding style is about board control and riding smoothly, but I can’t really be the judge of that. Though this question might be about the type of riding I do, in which case, it's mainly freestyle and flowy jumps.
Favourite place to ride
Bugs Boarding
Favourite music
A super wide spectrum, but a lot of the time it's hip-hop or Bonobo type stuff - but anything that's good.
Favourite mountainboard video
‘Giving Birth to RAD MAG’ or ‘BFC - Like this’
AMON SHAW
How did you get into Mountainboarding?
I saw an MBS Demo at a show, I had a taster lesson and have been hooked ever since.
Why do you Mountainboard?
To keep me sane.
How do you stay motivated?
It doesn’ t take much to keep me motivated to ride, but making videos for Instagram/YouTube helps, plus when I watch them back it makes me want to ride again. Mountainboarding is also a nice break from life and work, so I guess it helps with the motivation that way too.
Where have you traveled to Mountainboard?
Mainly around the UK & France, though I did spend a summer teaching kids to ride at an American summer camp.
How do you get others involved in Mountainboarding?
Teaching kids at Bugs Boarding, sharing cool videos online & doing backflips for people at skateparks.
What does the future of Mountainboarding hold?
More Riding!
Who are your 3 favourite Mountainboarders?
Emlyn Bainbridge, Lewis Sams & Tom Reece.
Favourite thing about Mountainboarding?
The people.
What do you do outside of Mountainboarding?
Make videos, get stressed, and think about mountainboarding.
