Turfboard All-Terrain Mountain Board - Vendor Liquidation!

Was $650?

Now $49.99

Shipping is $34.00

I ordered one for kicks.  At that price how bad can I regret it?

Fair warning, the review says it doesn't work well with standard bindings.  I was actually planning on not using bindings and riding it more like a skateboard, maybe even bolting a wider deck on top of it.  Feet bolted to a board while careening down steep rocky terrain sounds a bit sketchy to me.  I don't mind an occasional scorpion plant on snow, but think I'll pass on risking one on gravel..

Odds of that aren't too bad looking at it.  The better mountain boards I've seen have much wider trucks/wheelbase.  It looks like a design disaster, but for 80 bucks after shipping I'll play around with it some for kicks.  One of these days we'll need to hook up for some turns THERusty.  I get south of you (Wintergreen) and north of you (Blue Knob) every year. Rumor is that the BK crowd will try to meet at Timberline this February if we can find a suitable cabin to rent up on the mountain there.

Cheers!

I'd like that someday.. just can't be sure when. I usually don't do over 4 hours away without some plan to stay before or after.  Eventually we'll connect though I suspect.  I might get up that way on business or family stuff and I'll look you up if that happens.

It's here.  It is HUGE!!!  58" and probably 40 pounds.  What a freakin' tank

Waiting on grip tape.  Still leaning towards no bindings, but I would like to have sky hooks.  Nobody has any right now so I might make something instead.  Skater'sCafe peeps also want to see some video so I'll likely bring the flip when I find a suitable grassy knoll to execute my demise. The cemetery up the street looks appropriate.   I'll also include photos of any stitches and hospital bills.

Actually, it would be fun to try it out on a nice long green or easy blue run.  But, not worth the drive... yet.  I honestly haven't spied a nice wide open grade with a safe run out around here yet.  Most hills around here are either paved, full of trees and brush, or end in creek beds, ponds, or busy roads.

My church owns some property where we're planning to build new facilities.  I believe there may be some suitable terrain up there and I won't be trespassing.  I'll try to get over there and take a closer look this weekend.

Lift rides would have been nice today.  Went out after work just to christen this thing.  Christened it in sweat dripping from my chest, 98 in the shade and high humidity

No bindings at all yet.  Plastic hooks or web straps might be added sometime in the future.

No geezers were harmed in the making of this film..

One more time!  Needs music, imagine "Whacky Sax" playing along in the background OK?
