Participants will use skills such as balance, control, and coordination to ride a mountainboard (modified skateboard with large wheels) down a hill while standing or sitting. During this time, participants will wear a helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, and wrist guards to safely ride down the hill.

*This may be combined with our bungee to make an even more thrilling ride called “Bungee Dirtboarding”.
