Utah has a bunch of great spots to ride unfortunately I’ve only had the opportunity to ride things outside of Salt Lake City. There is a deep click of riders in SLC who are constantly out exploring. Check out this quick clip of bobsledding champion Mason Moore cranking some turns in Salt Lake. If you’re in the area be sure to get in touch with these guys, this spot looks hella crispy!

Gittes Aka Evan Carlson http://www.the-dirt.net/?p=895 The best of the beast, mountainboard videos from around the globe. Some old, some new and some that probably shouldn’t have been posted in the first place. Take note of the style from country to country some dirty action in these.

England – Ye Olde British Cunts

You know all these guys and you’ve probably seen all of these edits as well. That’s because they’re kings, straight royalty on the mountainsticks.

France – J’ai un escargot dans mon oreille

Maybe you aren’t aware of this but the French rip, and I include Dutch friend Nicky Geerse in this group because he speaks French better than he does Dutch.

“Monistrol Madness” by Nicky Geerse

Russia – I like my borscht without the beets

I just spent a week in Moscow where it was -20 degrees for 6 days straight, not exactly a hospitable climate; especially not for mountainboarding. Despite the long winters Russia has well funded events(thanks to Tunetz), super good riders and a communist government.

Australia – Sheep shaggers in my book

The bastard children of the United Kingdom and savage beasts. Watch the gymnast do a double backflip! Dyl Radface had a seizure while eating a big mac this past summer and my girlfriend thinks he’s got Aspergers syndrome.

“Double Trouble With Andy Milenkovic” by Project Doc

“Crackheads at Como” by Dylan Radface Warren

USA – McDonalds & Walmart now open in South Pole, Antarctica

We take claim to the creation of the sport. We sell you boards. Occasionally ride them. Mostly we just put a lot of time and money into shooting video of it. Are tricks aren’t the best but we have way more fun than everyone else. Truth.

Spain – Pelea de gallo o lidia

I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about Spain, nor do I know of many Spanish riders but I do know Iguria park looks like an amazing place to ride. Check out the Facebook video.

Japan – Have you seen Blood Sport??

I don’t know what flows through the water in Japan but no matter what board sport it is the Japenese seem to have the best style.

“Jingi Part 2″ by KoenjiNoSora

“Jingi Part 3″ by KoenjiNoSora

Brazil – I think there are more super models per capita in Brazil than any where else in the world

These guys have been riding hard for a long time and possibly the most passionate about it, I mean you’ve probably heard of Tony Dogga right?

Germany – Hmmmmm

I almost forgot about the Germans, never forget the German’s they’ll fuck you up. How could I forget Winterberg possibly the gnarliest park in mountainboarding. If you never saw that video of TK doing front 7′s over their massive 40 foot jump its worth searching for.

Gittes Aka Evan Carlson http://www.the-dirt.net/?p=886 If you’ve been asleep for the past two week or had no internet connection then you probably missed out on the release of the Rad Magazine video, Giving Birth to Rad Mag. There is 20 minutes of the dirtiest mountainboard action and the occasional dick, puke or shit shot thrown in the mix. Apparently they have a lot more to share with us with they launch their magazine site, but they want 2000 likes on their Facebook page before they do so.

Enjoy the video & stay Rad!

Gittes Aka Evan Carlson http://www.the-dirt.net/?p=882 Over the past few year there has been a serious emergence of Bike Parks around the world. Recently, I made a trip back to my home state of Vermont and rode the Burke Bike Park on the Kingdom Trails which has full lift access and some amazing top to bottom runs. One of there best trails is Knightslayer which has tons of tables and possibly the biggest wallride I’ve ever hit, towering around 25 feet!

Colorado has also stepped up their game with the construction of 4 new bike parks in the past two years. Starting with Rhyolite Park in located the open space of Castlerock, CO, here you will find a long line of rollers berms with an option of hitting a 10 foot wall ride into a 6 pack of jumps. The other stand out park is the Valmont Bike Park in Boulder, CO. Valmont has a wide range of lines and features containing jumps of all sizes, a fast and technical dual cross track and a straight line of jumps into a wallride.

Some how all of these parks fail in comparison to Winterberg in Germany. Maybe it’s the fact that they’ve been catering to mountainboarding for four years now so they’ve got our best interest at heart but the bottom line is they have built a park that mountainboards can absolutely slay!! Here is a clip that was just posted, possibly the best freestyle clip I’ve seen in a year.

Planning to put together a comprehensive list of riding spots in the next few weeks, if anyone has a park to add please email me here, evan@the-dirt.net.

Gittes Aka Evan Carlson http://www.the-dirt.net/?p=879 Woke up this morning with a gift on my door step, well maybe not my door step but on my Facebook wall. The gift was from Tom Kirkman, his brethren, Project Doc and MBS Europe. It’s a film and it’s call Ride And Destroy. Here is the teaser, only one clip but it’s a dope on.

Here are a few word from TK posted along with the video clip.

RAD MAG enthusiasts sit back and enjoy!
for coming soon is a film that will literally melt your face an make you fizz!

“This summer the bays an no girls from Mbs europe, Atc productions, Magic media and Project doc just spent three weeks of speeding, drinking, riding, wild debauchery leaving a trail of blood an guts an fag buts across the whole of europe. Rails were slayed, jumps hit with our fists, metal chicks loved, metal hand gestures made, the word cunt thoroughly worn out and thus “RIDE AND DESTROY” was born!”

Gittes Aka Evan Carlson http://www.the-dirt.net/?p=865 It saddens me to share the news that long time mountainboarder and friend Jason “Small Dog” Smalls passed Thursday evening in Seward, Alaska after being in a serious car wreck.

Jason was always a really strong, and talented mountainboarder, and possibly the first to attempt and ride away a double back flip back in the 2006 US Open in Aspen. You will be missed by many Jason, rest in peace.

Gittes Aka Evan Carlson http://www.the-dirt.net/?p=854 Summer has arrived, lots of riding, lots of new spots to ride and we’re just two months shy of having out good friends from around the world come out to the states for some riding. Last year Dylan & Nicky Geerse did a transcontinental tour and made a stop in the states for some demos and events. It sounds like it will be going down again. Here are a few clips that Nicky shot of Dylan on the road last year.

Gittes Aka Evan Carlson http://www.the-dirt.net/?p=836 Last week I escaped from behind my computer and took a trip to Belgium where I had the pleasure of meeting two fine chaps from the BFC, Martyn James & Nicky Geerse. The first night we met in Brussels and the night consisted of lots of beer and absinthe, dancing and was proceeded by a hefty hangover in the AM.

Little Delrium with BFC

That next morning we took a two hour trip to southern Belgium to ride Wayni Park, possibly one of the finest mountainboard parks in the world, complete with a long boarder cross track, tons of rails and some large jumps. Oh ya they have a lift so you never have to take off your board and you can just make laps all day, and you wonder why all the best riders in the world are coming out of Europe. Despite the rain from previous days we were still able to ride most of the park, with the exception of the large jump.

BFC = Big Fat Cunts

Riding with Martyn and Nicky was mind blowing, the Euros have so much control of there board and even the smallest of tricks look amazing. In a span of 30 minutes I watch Nicky stomp every 540, none of which were huck and all were grabbed, pretty impressive. You can expect to see some web edits coming from Nicky and Martyn’s road trip in the next few weeks on the Yum Yum BFC site and rumor has it they are putting out another full length movie shortly. Looking forward to seeing both Nicky and Martyn over here in the states this summer.

In the mean time enjoy some of the BFC edits below.
