Has anyone tried this? Because I'm thinking about getting one, and I just want some info on what to buy, where to do it, difficulty to learn if you ski, how hard it is hitting decent size jumps etc etc...
If you dont know what it is.....

if you have that kind of terrain near you and people to shred with I'd say go for it, but if you're just gonna buy one to shred around your neighborhood and stuff I'd say just get a normal skateboard and have fun with that... that video looks sick but I've seen people mountain boarding in parking lots in SLC and it looks mad boring.

We have quite a few dirtboarders at my local DH hill, and I gotta say, even the guys that are really good seem to always be on their ass. After seeing these guysfor a few years now I have no desire to even try it. I know it seems close mindede of me, and it could be really fun, but I doubt it. You could probably find a place that rents them. Make sure you wear some protection and clothes you won't mind shredding. Personally, I would rather save my pennies for a downhill rig.
