Does anyone here mountain board? I was thinking of giving it go as I only live a 10 minute drive from Ditchling beacon but need some advice.
I spent a couple of hours on google last night having a look at stuff but it all got a bit hazy after a while (no it wasn't the cider). I would like to have a go first but it would seem of the two 'dirtboard' centers closest to me one is shut till march and the other doesn't seem to be doing anything (closed?). So if I can't have a play first it would seem I'll have to take the plunge and get a cheep- mid range board, but what one? what size?
Any advice chaps?
