mountainboardin on rails can look a bit gash i know, but i think we might have actually made a video that makes it look alright, over the last year weve put a bunch of rails in at the atc backyard, here’s a few clips from a couple of sessions, 2009 till yesterday. hope it inspires you to get all slipery on them pollie grind, the world of mountainboarding needs you to otherwise we might be doomed to forever be at the bottom of the rail food chain! plus its pretty fun.
if you wana have a ride at our park or your in the sunny shire that is cornwall, get in contact.
as im sure you all know this winters been such shitty weather so we had to find someware new to ride rather than the trusty old atc backyard, mt hawk skateparks just down the road an works pretty well for a mountainboard so we took a frew trips down there, this time Mick came along an showed us all up on the vert proving that he does indeed have massive nuts, o yeah part of the car fell off on the way down so we (I) had to tie it back on with a scabby old sock that Muzzer magicly pulled out of noware.
First time I met Kodey was way back, he came over to our humble little island with all the hardcore badass Americans who used to scare the shit out of me, he had a cast on his wrist at this point but still rode harder than the rest. He ended up staying at mine for a while which was class an we spent many a day catching wildlife and free riding in the woods, good times!
I was lucky enough to spend a bit of time with good old beef chunk out in sunny south brazil a few months back, he’s one of the soundest chaps out there an can sure balance on one of the trolley boards even with one foot out, way out! anyway, here’s a few words with the main man himself all the way from the US of A
Name/nicknames?
Kody Stewart aka chickenboots
what’s the best sandwich you have ever made?
Butter Butter, cheese, and toast good old fashioned english breakfast
how long is a piece of string
Kodey didn’t answer this question
Favorite mountainboarder to ride with?
Leon, Jereme, and Akoni. We all push each other to ride hard and try new things. I’m actually heading out to ride with AK right after I finish this interview
Favorite skater?
Paul Rodriguez. We built a skatepark for him out here in California and he’s super cool. I witnessed the most pure skateboarding I’ve ever seen that day, just 5 guys sticking the craziest stuff like it was nothing
I seen a photo of you chilling with Travis does that mean you’re getting on some nitro circus action?
Leon, AK, and myself did film with them. It was a great time but I don’t believe any of our footage was used. Actually, they used one shot of Special Greg smashing a camera man while riding a mountainboard
Best thing about mountain boarding?
Mountainboarders
Worst thing about Mountainboarding?
No respect
Any big plans to take over the world?
Nope, I just like to do my own thing.
If you were a can of soup what one would you be?
Chicken Soup because I’m afraid to ride switch
How did you get so cool?
Ha ha…as Knepper would say “Eat your wheaties, do good in school, and listen to your parents. Then one day you’ll be as cool as we are!”
Funnest trick?
One footed 3
Lamest trick?
Suitcase methods
Best trick?
Probably the 9er
How did Houdini die?
Well he was running around bonking everything…trees, pole, trucks, even other Houdinis. Then one day an englishman came along, saw what he was doing, and killed him. The moral is…dont hate the bonk!
What makes Mountainboarding special for you?
The people that do it. We still are a giant family and I love that aspect. If you just have fun with the sport you’ll go places. Ride to have fun and push yourself. If you try and get sponsors and make money you’ll get burnt out.
Do you rollerblade?
Hells Yes!!! There’s no feeling like strapping on those roller boots and jumping down some stairs. Ha ha, no I wouldn’t ever touch those
Chicken boots?
A saying from Moab Utah in 2002. Back in the good ole days with some good ole people. Delirious with some friends after driving 14 hours to get there, we saw a picture with a chicken wearing huge boots and thought we’d start “a word” ha ha…it was stupid but somehow I got stuck with the nickname
Just fun. Was having a good day of filming and just thought those would be some fun tricks to try. Though nothing nearly as close to what I’ve seen you guys throwing
whats next in the wild world of Kodys moves?
Hmmmmmm, I have a backside rodeo, a backside rodeo 7, and a couple other dork moves I’ve been working on. There’s a time and place for everything and I just haven’t had a reason to throw them yet
Knock knock, who’s there?
Your mom, whoa nellie!!
Ever whacked someone in the face?
Depending on with what. My fist, no. Objects, yes
Who’s better you or leaf?
Tough call…I’d say he is and he’d say I am. It’s just fun to ride with him
Best film?
That’s it that’s all
Favorite song?
In the summertime, mungo jerry
Favorite drink?
Cactus Cooler!
Last words?
Ice lollie fo life!
Have you got a gun?
Sure do, I’ve got 2 of them. They’re called my biceps!!
If there was a jump in front of you, and it was the last time you were ever allowed to jump, what trick would you do?
A 360 stalefish…that was the first trick I ever wanted to learn
Tell us about the time with the slowworms in sunny Cornwall?
Ha ha…that story is boring compared to all the other ones. Like when you ran over that pram and we were told to stop riding. Or when those girls thought you were cute and their way of getting your attention was hitting you in the back with nettles. We’ve had some good times I just cant believe it was that long ago…
Any plans to come back over?
I hope so. I miss it over there alot. You guys are so much fun to ride with and I definitely miss hanging out. I can guarantee I’ll be there at least 1 more time before I stop riding.
O yeah would you be up for designing us a t-shirt?
All those days trying to design a downbeat skate logo and you still think I can draw! I’m hopeless my friend…
some time ago in a land far far away, well Birmingham, the trusty old mbseurope ramp arived at the nec outdoor show followed by a van full of scabby kneed scamps, king of whome is known to most as the fit one. some of what ocoured over the weekend canot be recalled, but i do rember a ceremonial hair cut incurring to anyone clumsy enough to fall over and some sort of vegan pie eating comp.
anyways im pretty sure we did a bit of riding too.
Joke of the post, what do you call a fish with no eye's, a fsh!
