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 - ‘Welcome to RAD MAG’ or ‘BFC - Like this’
Favourite food - Pie & Chips!
Favourite beverage - Coffee
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/Tiktok 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 travelled 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 do you think the future of Mountainboarding holds - 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 & Think about Mountainboarding
