How did you get into Mountainboarding?

Training for snowboard.

Why do you Mountainboard?

I like forest, dirt, and standing sideways.

How do you stay motivated?

I try my best to make my teenage self proud of who I am today.

Where have you traveled to Mountainboard?

USA, SWISS, ENG, AUS.

How do you get others involved in Mountainboarding?

I‘m currently working for an outdoor company and taking reservations for mountainboard lessons. And also offers rafting and snowboarding lessons, so I introduce mountainboarding to people I meet there.

What does the future of Mountainboarding hold?

Personally,I think it would be nice if more people climbed the back hills and rode down the slopes,or rode on the grassy slopes at the ski resorts in the summer. But what you might be interested in in general is electric mountainboard. I think that a course in a forest that has been leveled to some extent will become popular.

Who are your 3 favourite Mountainboarders?

Joel, Jason, Makken.

Favourite thing about Mountainboarding?

Road trip or sleep over night next to a dirt course.

What do you do outside of Mountainboarding?
