Due to the the rapid progression of board related skills offered by The Brush Ramp and the motion of BrushBoarding, we are offering you the chance to join our official Brush Boarding Team. If you think you have what it takes, then get in touch and tell us what you can bring to the Brush Boarding Team. Who knows you could gain the skills to become the next Tony Hawk or Kelly Slater.
Don't forget, this opportunity is open to all - even if you have never ridden a board in your life before! You would be surprised by the skills and movements that come from non-boarders. Rob Aubry took this photo with his skills as a photographer and is now a competent stand up rider himself.
After two and a half years of R&D The Brush Ramp is finally complete. Kyle Dent, the Founder of Extreme Sports Zone and inventor of Brush Boarding had a slightly delayed Christmas present. When announcing the completion of The Brush Ramps design, Kyle's face looked like that of his two young boys just two days prior when seeing all the presents Santa had left for them. “I just knew we could find a way to bring board sports fitness to people in an environmentally friendly and safe way”, noted Kyle, “With Brush Boarding people will be able to experience sports like surfing and snowboarding before spending the money to take it up. You don't need to get wet to Brush Board, and you don't need a special outfit - just get on it… Hey, that should be our catch phrase!”.
Brush Boarding is a new multi-boardsport X-training activity that aids in the simulation of most board sports. Different riders use varying board shapes when Brush Boarding. Surfers go for the longer boards so they simulate carving down a wave; skateboarders go for the shortest boards so they can hone their skills; Snowboarders want it all so they can move up and down the ramp, all aiding in improving technique.
Ben “SkinDog” Skinner is our first pro-rider to try Brush Boarding. “Dropping in from the top totally feels like the face of a wave”, says SkinDog, “I'II totally be back”. Ben is featured in the pre-release video that shows his hanging-five while Brush Boarding, overlayed with a photo of him hanging-ten on a real wave.
The coolest outcome of our User Trials was the discovery that families have fun riding the ramp. Dad gets on to see if he has still got the moves; grommets down to the age of 2 years of age have gotten on it (check out the photos!); and not only did a couple of Moms get on it, but so did Gran (serious… check out the photos)! So if you don't have your own wheels yet, and want to go Brush Boarding, you can bring the fam along and everyone can Get On It!
John is our regular pro-rider. When he's not off doing photo shoots for Fat Face (take a look at their latest catalogue…) or Starboard, or entering comps in foreign countries, he can be found at the Brush Boarding HQ. John says “It helps me with my core strength, and it's a tonne of fun as its own sport”. John is an all-round boarding guru, leading the way with Paddle Boarding most recently. He was the first to hang-ten while Brush Boarding - there's a name in that trick there somewhere waiting to be found. Thanks for your support John!
Discussions are being finalized as to where and when the official “hard launch” of Brush Boarding will be. Each discussion brings the date forward which is super exciting. If you don't have the chance to ride prior to this date, you'll be able to try it out at the event. We'll have some of our Brush Boarding Team there showing off their latest training techniques. Watch for announcements on this site, as well as our Facebook and MySpace pages.
We have officially launched Brush Boarding. Our press release went out today announcing our market launch. Crealy Adventure Park is hosting our first event in Devon on May 27th, and second in Cornwall on May 29th. BlooLoop (who “Network the Attractions Business”) has picked up our press release!!
