Abstract

Mountainboards are gaining recognition in the recent times. It was developed in the year 1970. In the recent time the board has been developed and designed in such a way that it can be ridden in all the terrain. In this I have designed the board for optimal design for crash resistance and does act like a cushion for jump load too. The materials used earlier was wood for the deck of the board. As wood is a natural resource we need to conserve it. I have made use of the two materials for the deck. That is alluminium and the ABS. Both have showed good qualities to the resistance of the crash load and the jump load. But compared to each other the alluminium is a better option for the deck material as this cheaper than ABS and has more flexibility and acts as a shock absorber. Mountainboarding is also known as dirtboarding, off-road boarding, and all-terrain boarding. A mountainboard is made up of components including a deck, bindings to secure the rider to the deck, four wheels with pheumatic tires, and two steering mechanisms known as trucks.
