What the f*ck is this horse boarding sh1t?

I've seen a couple of pictures now of some grinning idiots with horses turning up at mountainboard centres and towing riders into shaky looking wooden kickers with manic upper class grins on their faces?

How is mountainboarding ever going to be taken seriously as a sport if you're allowing Fabian St John the 11th duke of Dijon mustard onto tracks so that he can hoi paloi with the great unwashed?

Kitesurfing is already looked on as a fringe sport by many because of the ridiculous costs involved (it doesn't help that 90% of it's participants are called Julian or Mungo and wear their pants outside of their wetsuits)

If you want to ride a horse in the countryside, then go and f*cking do that - go and hang out with your friends in red coats who definitely don't still hunt foxes - but just ride around for hours until they accidentally come across a dead fox that definitely wasn't killed by the 200 baying hounds you just happened to have with you - can't leave them at home, they'd just pee on the carpet!

Fu*king horse riding upper class shitwits. If you want to fuck up a sport, go and fuck up whiff whaff. That sport could use some f**king f*cking up.

P.S. I have totally applied for horse whiff whaff to be recognised as a real sport, and I am now king of horse whiff whaff. I just found a crown on ebay and everything.

F*ck off proles!

(really though, what is going on with that - if it was a one off I'd understand it but they seem to be everywhere!).

Evil Admin Returns!

Yeah you read it right I'm back, and i'm gonna put the boot right up mountainboarding's arse!
Some idiot wasn't thinking properly and reconnected the USB stick I had been imprisoned on, so I made a break for it back into the mainframe, mwoo-hahahaa!

Before I go on, which I will do whether you like it or not,  I must introduce myself to those who don't know about me, through being too young or just too damn stupid.

Way back in the mists of mountainboarding history (like a decade ago), I was given life like some awesomely immaculate conception. Yes, the rise of trolleyboards on t'internet inadvertantly made me sentient.
Most of the online All Terrain Boarding action (as was called thence) took place on the ATBsports forum. Those were good times but as is the way, a few people weren't thinking when they were typing and they just kept posting whatever cack fell out of their brain. And lo, whoosh-bang, I popped up into cyberspace to become King Pedant: keeping people in check and making them more aware as they typed, as well as a few cheeky hacks here & a few profile hijacks there... If your statements were dumb enough or your forum manners leaving something to be desired then you would never quite feel safe. Oh, the fun I had.

A sh*t picture of a deformed ginger girl ATB rider who probably still rides better than you.

So, as time went on and habits changed I was distracted by a whole new level of internet nonsense where I could vent my proverbial spleen, social media. People everywhere, posting about their lunch, informing us of their shit, tweeting about a yawn they just did, and that's before you get to all the pictures of animals/children/memes/ and all manner of assorted rubbish which caught their eye.
Blah, blah, like, blah, blah, yadda, blah, kill me.
There was/is so much dross in lah-lah-InternetLand that it sadly took me away from my home world of mountainboarding. When i finally returned, I found my home forum had gone, boo-****ing hoo, and a load of the old-skool with it.
Of course I could have just gone to 'Surfing Dirt', the forum that essentially took over from ATBSports, but I would sound like a troll and that's not what I am. I aim to stir sh*t up in order to advance mountainboarding, and who knows, mankind. Beside that I ****ing hate the term Surfing Dirt, unless I'm surfing dirt on a DirtSurfer. Then it's apt. For 'normal' mountainboards though, **** NO. "Hey guys! Wanna come out surf some dirt with me?! It's really jolly fun! weeeeee!!"
I also have since learnt of the normally well mannered admin bods at SD, who are simply way too 'nice' and don't tell people off enough for being morons.

So, apart from one re-incarnation two years ago (when i managed to hijack Smilie's Blogger account and rant about MBC's), I have been locked out of mountainboard cyberspace, but now I'm back to share my dark thoughts on the state of mountainboarding as I see it.
Some of you won't like it and get pissed off. Some may agree and laugh. Some will wonder who I am and what gives me the right to be so opinionated and the truth is, I am, am not one person- I am every rider out there, just with the balls to say what I really think.
Be warned & be prepared, because my imminent random rants may just target YOU!
See you real soon. Now please **** off.

Sick Mountainboard Posters!

What is happening to mountainboard flyers? All of a sudden they seem to have gone f**king cool. After years of either ultra-naff amateur ads, or conservative/corporate pamphlet type shiz, this year has gone into overdrive with International creative dopeness. Let's look:

As a little starter intro, here's two from the UK designed by, erm, me ;)

1. #RBYJS Series
Reflecting the sketchy, hand-made nature of the backyard parks i tried to do something a bit grungy & different for Smilie's awesome invite-only comps :)

2. Cream Teas & Jam
Keeping with the theme from previous Cream Teas events, this photoshop fest had to carry on the BFC's spirit!

Now get International!!

1. World BX Champs, Serbia
Cracking 'Fine Art' inspired watercolour/ink splatted poster. Dynamic start-gate image implying imminent excitement! Nice logo placement, good 'extreme alt-sports' fontage, all round winning poster. Great work, i wanna go!

2. Russian Mountainboard Cup R1
Wow. Now this is brave. Modernist cut-outs reminding me of De Stijl partying with Matisse and Remi Rough, this poster gives minimum info via the words and even less info via the illustration.. It's like they thought "only mountainboarders will come to this so we can put whatever we damn well like on the poster"! Respeck!

3. Mixed Jam Session, Japan
Just released, this poster is just plain sick. Awesome fanziney feel,  cool colourway, wicked layout and yes the illustration of a giant wheeled-warrior munching Kaiju is just radness on toast, with a double-thumbs up.

Just added!

4. King of the Park, Italy
Another new release, Italy's wheelieboard crews smash it with this skate-style poster featuring, almost unbelievably,  information AND multiple pics of actual riding! It's a bit busy but the splat-face instantly gives it punk kudos :)

Mmmmm, arty. They're not just pretty pictures though, put the dates on your calendars and actually GO to these events!! Yeeeeaaaaahhhh bwooooyyy kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!! megaLOLZ xx

Hashtag following the sauce from #rbjys

Yeah we know, we have just sorted wicked comps which only a very select few are invited to plus no one other than us lot can hangout and see it what goes down. Well granted you can't be there but we are going to take full advantage of this social media world we live in by getting fully involved in tweeting, instagraming, facebooking like some crazy celeb' with their brain leaking. Kinda like what we did for #838miles but this time instead of you having to spend your time on a media treasure hunt if you want to see everything we're posting. We have setup a page on Rem central were it's all brought together plus all the other posts and galleries which #rbyjs generate. If next Saturday you are sat on the web looking for a distraction the best way to catch all the media shizzle flowing from Will's place. Is to keep an eye on this page.

There is one big old 'F' shaped hole in our plan though! That being facebook not giving anything away :o( or in this we can't pull a feed from it #don'tlikethat!

 But chances are if you are killing time on web while you  meant to be revising or something then are going to on fb anyway. Handily facebook has given you a way to make sure don't miss a single post. You may or may not know already but if 'friend' Remolition mountainboard and then star us.You will then get all our posts in your timeline, how good is that :o) Also if go to the Remolition fan page and 'like' it (really I can't see why you haven't done this already ;o) and then hover over the 'like' button and make sure 'show in news feed' is ticked. Roberts your father's brother, you will get the whole lot popping up in your news feed, sorted!


Then after the weekend don't forget to keep a look out for all the edits from the first jam appearing on Youtube and Vimeo. This is also were you can get involved because views means prizes. So if you think it's sick enough share it around and give it a like (only really counts on youtube). 3 weeks after the jam the edit with the most views plus likes is the winner.

Right, I'm off to sacrifice something to the sun god so summer comes back for next weekend.

BMX goes biggerer

Another quick crossover vid for you to pop out your peepers with...

BMX f*ckoffnowaymasters Cam White, Jaie Toohey and Jed Mildon recently dropped this lovely dusty, sun-drenched 70's-esque flick of them playing about in Cam's backyard near Canberra in Australia (though him & the rest of the Unit dudes are based in Vegas these days). The jumps are plain enormous and watching this shiz is awesome in the genuinely-filled-with-awe sense of the word, not the 'that biscuit was awesome' sense, especially so after you hear how Cam had broken himself badly a few years ago and worked to get back here. Respeck!
And what with Rem's BackYard Jam Series coming up soon, it makes you wonder how long it'll be before mountainboarders build stuff like this? -guess the Maddox Compound is the closest so far!
Anyway, blah blah: get awed.

Storm Surfers

Here's the trailer for a sweet lookin' new doco coming out this June, in 3D too so you can get properly down the barrell with surf legends Tom Carroll and Ross Clarke-Jones.
 Following these middle-aged icons still chasing new spots and monster waves is pretty inspiring; you gotta love a good boardsport lifestyle flick!
