1st Mountain/Landboard need advice

lmoaks - 17-10-2011 at 03:17 PM

Hi Guys,
looking to get into landboarding. I have a chance to buy a MBS Comp 16 Pro for $150. Its said to be in real good condition. I've been looking around and it seems like a good board and deal to me. What do you think??
Thanks for any advice, Mark

Great deal if its in good condition.

Board is on its way!

OK, the MBS Comp 16 Pro is on its way to its new home (mine). So now the question is what to get for a helmet and pads? Money is kinda tight right now so I was wondering if the MBS Core Pads and Helmet would be OK for now?

Thanks for your help, Mark

Get whatever. I wear my ski helmet kite skiing and kite landboarding.

I bought skate pads at Sports Authority and they are fine. I'm sure MBS pads are fine. I know 661s are great but probably more then you want to spend.

If you can afford only one, get the helmet first, knee pads second, elbow third.

Where in MA are you located?
