{"title":"Mountainboards","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMountainboards: Off-Road Boarding for Every Terrain\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mountainboard is a large-wheeled board designed for riding on grass, dirt, gravel, and rough terrain — the off-road answer to the question of what happens when skateboarding meets snowboarding meets mountain biking. With pneumatic tires, bindings that keep your feet locked to the board, and a deck designed for the dynamic forces of off-road riding, mountainboards open up terrain that no conventional skateboard can touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMountainboarding has a dedicated community in the UK, where grass hills and downhill courses have been the proving ground for the sport since the 1990s, and in the US, where riders use mountainboards for everything from grass hill bombing to kite-powered riding on beaches. The sport has also influenced the development of all-terrain electric skateboards, with mountainboard-derived components appearing in high-end e-board builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMountainboard Components\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeck\u003c\/strong\u003e: Longer and wider than a skateboard; designed for stability at speed on rough terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBindings\u003c\/strong\u003e: Strap or step-in bindings that keep feet connected to the board through rough terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrucks\u003c\/strong\u003e: Channel trucks with wider axles and more travel than skateboard trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheels\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8–10 inch pneumatic tires; inflatable for adjustable grip and cushioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand-operated disc brakes on some models for speed control on steep terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways ride with full protection — see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/apex-rove-protection-systems\"\u003eProtection Systems\u003c\/a\u003e for helmets, pads, and safety bundles designed for board sports.
