Mountainboarding Lessons "Shred The Gnar" What do you call a snowboard without snow? A Mountainboard, of course! Here at The Colorado Mountain Ranch, you don’t need to wait for snow because dirt never melts! Boarders receive progressive instruction and always use protective safety gear -- helmets, leather gloves, elbow, wrist, and kneepads. No previous experience is necessary. Learn to maneuver at different speeds over varying terrain. Master turns and jumps. Balance and confidence and the thrills grow with practice.
Terrain: The new course design project is complete, adding 3 new table tops, 4 jumps, 2 rhythm sections, wall ride,and tree course! The full course line is about a 1/4 mile long from the very top to the bottom. The lower section (the most technical with it's rhythm sections, table tops, and wicked jumps) starts the rider at the upper table top which drops into the first rythm section followed by our split-top. The course then breaks off into two lines, intermediate and advanced. The intermediate line starts from the lower side of the split-top and drops into a small kicker followed by the last rythm section. The advanced line drops from the upper side of the split-top to our advanced table top followed by a four foot kicker. The course ends with a wall ride/kicker combo which ends at the beggining of the tree course. Lessons: Instructors start out teaching the basics of mountainboarding such as ride stance, balance, and board control. As the rider becomes more comfortable, progressive instruction is based on rider's skill and performance of "ride trials". Ride trials are a series of excercises that accurately judge ability level so that riders stay safe. Technical Free-Ride: Mountainboarding in its finest form, free-ride. Free-riding is all about boarding un-touched terrain on the mountains. During this session, the instructor takes riders off-trail to carve their own path over rough terrain. Lesson and Ride - $25/hour
