Happy New Years guys!
In true New Years fashion I thought I would have a quick look back at Mountainboarding in 2011 and what I think/hope 2012 has in store for us.
2011 has been a good year for me – I haven’t been out riding half as much as I wanted to, but it was the year I started brake boarding and my confidence levels went up as well as my ability to ride more of the local terrain.
Placing 2nd in the Novice Class at Dave has shown me that I’m possibly not the slowest rider out there…although I now need to prove that in the Masters Class in the 2012 comps.
2011 was obviously the year I started this blog, but here are some other things I’ve been checking out online this year: the Dirt Box, OneDayMedia, Project Doc, Kent ATB, Mountainboarding.uk.com, Remolition, Mountainboarding.info, Leapb4ulook and obviously Surfing Dirt.
2011 was what I hope will be the start of a Downhill revival and if last years competition at Dave and the talk about this years upcoming ATBA Downhill Series is anything to go by – it’s looking good for 2012.
After the Five Pass Challenge was completed successfully, the 2012 Challenge needs to be BIG!!! Or at least long (oooh errrr…).
What are my 2012 Mountainboarding resolutions?
- To get rid of Santa Claus’ tummy-tum & get out riding a lot more
- To enter four competitions this year. This should be an interesting as there are only three Downhill comps planned so far…and as the idea of me doing Freestyle is laughable (and physically impossible) it looks like I better get some Bordercross practice in.
- To find at least one new riding spot in the NW each month.
- To convert at least one new rider.
