From the recent ATBA Newsletter #29:
"One of the things that keeps beginners from getting into mountainboarding is the cost of buying a board. We want to do something about this, and we need your help to do it. Do your have any spare board parts just gathering dust? Donate them to the ATBA-UK and we'll build up boards and sell them cheap for beginners. We'll also include an info pack with the board with info about centres, basics techniques, and info about becoming part of the community. We think it'll really help get more people into mountainboarding but we can't do it without you. So, bring any old spare wheels, bindings, trucks and even decks to any of the ATBA-UK comps and we'll gladly take them off your hands."We've all got bits and pieces lying around the place - old egg shocks from when we were all a bit thinner round the waist, or skate trucks that became obsolete as the tracks got faster and the tricks got larger. Club all the bits together and we've probably got a good number of boards as well as the opportunity to make a bit of cash for the ATBA. This can go into promoting these events to make them even bigger and badder than ever before or go into any number of things that suck up money these days just to keep things running smoothly.
So, feeling charitable? Going to an event? Round 2's this week by the way!
