Mountainboard – A Large Wheeled Off Road Skateboard

By Action Isle • May 2nd, 2008 • Category: Boards

With skateboarding you are confined to hard surfaces. Sticks, rocks, cracks, and even small holes are mortal enemies to the skateboard. The wheels of a skateboard just can't handle them.

Mountainboard

If you want to experience off road skateboarding at it's finest, check out a mountainboard. Also sometimes referred to as an all-terrain board, a dirtboard, grassboard, or a landboard.

To make it simple, a mountainboard is basically a larger version of a skateboard adapted for off road riding. Big off road tires, bigger deck (bigger than a skateboard that is), footstraps, and trucks with shocks are all common on most mountainboards.

Snowboarders often mountainboard in the summer so they can continue to improve their skills. Mountainboarding can be a fun sport to try for anyone who skateboards, longboards, wakeboards, or does any other board sport.

With mountainboarding you can ride on much more than just hard surfaces.

Altered Electric Skateboard M4 800

By Action Isle • May 1st, 2008 • Category: Boards, Motorized

I've seen many electric skateboards before, but not many have off road tires like this electric skateboard made by Exkate.

The Altered M4 800 has the power and durability needed to go on or off road. The pneumatic tires make it able to handle rough terrain. No need to worry about rocks or sticks in the way of your wheels with this board.

With the wireless handheld accelerator and brake the rider can easily control their speed or accelerate up to an impressive 20mph. Not too many electric skateboards with off-road tires can say that.

Here's a video of a guy explaining how he made his homemade electric skateboard.  Doesn't sound too complicated.  He made it in the 80's and it STILL works.

 

The motor he has on his homemade electric skateboard is a blower motor from a car that is powered by a lawnmower battery.

Off Road 800 Watt Electric Skateboard Video

By Action Isle • Apr 17th, 2008 • Category: Boards, Motorized

Here's a pretty sweet video of a guy riding his 800 watt off-road electric skateboard on some trails.  Not sure what brand of electric skateboard it is in the video, but both the UM70sx and the m4 800 are 800 watt electric skateboards with off-road tires.

NPD Landboard – Real All-Terrain Boards Have 8 Wheels

By Action Isle • Apr 15th, 2008 • Category: Boards

The NPD Landboard had a distinguished uniqueness about it. I'm fairly certain it isn't being made anymore and that it has joined the ranks of the many discontinued boards.

 

NPD Landboard All-Terrain Board

 

The all-terrain NPD Landboard had 4 sets of wheels. Most distinguishable about the Landboard was the suspension system it used, called the "QuadFlex."

 

"Simply mount the QuadFLEX suspension system to almost any skate truck and you're ready to experience the smoothest, most stable ride ever achieved by any skateboard. Only the best materials were chosen for the construction of the QuadFLEX suspension. The frame is aircraft grade aluminum and the axles are corrosion-proof stainless steel. High grade components are used throughout. QuadFLEX instantly adjusts to the slope of the terrain and flexes independently in four directions utilizing four springs. Deadly high-speed wobbles are virtually eliminated by the QuadFLEX design. Stock springs provide a stiff, aggressive suspension for the average weight rider (100-150lbs.). We realize that not everybody is average, or aggressive, and offer custom springs to suit any style of riding for any size rider! QuadFLEX also offers adjustable compression, adjustable height, comes standard on all Landboards and is sold separately."

Half Surfboard, Half Skateboard, Half Shark

By Action Isle • Apr 15th, 2008 • Category: Boards

Before anyone says anything, I know three halves does not equal one.

That aside, take a look at this board by On Shore Boards called the LandShark.

On Shore Boards LandShark

On Shore Boards currently makes two other boards similar in design to the LandShark. All of their boards have the line of wheels in the front, as well as what is similar to a skateboarding truck in the back with two wheels on each side.

"A cutting edge triple-patented steering system now being introduced in defining a hybrid crossover board sport never before seen or experienced. The On Shore Board, representing a new and unique carving system, is bridging the industries of surfing, snowboarding, inline skating, and longboard skateboarding to deliver an adrenaline ride like no other."

Their board the LandShark is in the middle of their line of boards in terms of size. At 41'' long this unique board is good for transportation purposes as well as carving down mid-sized hills.
