20th July: What do you get if you cross a skateboard with a mountainboard?

What do you get if you cross a skateboard with a mountain board? Probably the BE Unlimited.



The Be Unlimited is a totally different direction for all terrain boarding. This is aimed at freestyle and specifically grinding... ANYTHING... the board has a very low centre of gravity and the trucks are on top of the deck. The back foot is also on a kicktail to enable the tail to be used like a skateboard for kicking round and grinding. This board is unbelivable for doing tricks you would in the skatepark out in the woods. The totally smooth underside lets you ride over anything. Pop the front and the board just slides over the rocks and logs. This being a freestyle board you would assume it has no bearing in freeride but this is where it also works great. You grind over everything you meet and with the ability to shave speed and turn tightly using the kicktail it opens up more lines that you wouldn't think possible. This is not a conventional mountainboard and does not do everything as well as a standard style board but it is different and when the rider gets the hang of the board then anything is possible. The board will handle at speed over rough terrain it will ride boarderx etc but in freestyle it grinds EVERYTHING!!!
