My six-year-old daughter loves her Maxi MICRO Deluxe Kickboard. I long ago lost count of how many times it has motivated her to get off the couch, away from the screen and outside. On a kickboard, a plain old sidewalk becomes an exhilarating slalom course. When I was running alongside her for the 40th time, I wondered—”that looks fun—why don’t I try one?”

I liked the action of the three-wheeled kickboard so much that I decided to go with the souped-up adult version: the MICRO Monster Kickboard. The Monster’s fat (70mm wide) grippy tires can handle the highest-octane sidewalk surfing.

The Monster comes with both the traditional T-Bar handlebar and the more dynamic one-handed Pilot Stick for two very different riding experiences. The Pilot Stick allows for a more sideways stance similar to on a skateboard or snowboard making bodyweight adjustments even easier when you want a more playful ride.

The lean-into-it axle steering, ABEC 5 precision bearings and 70 mm wide track wheels combine to offer better hold and a stable ride that is perfect for long carving turns at speed. The fiber-glass infused synthetic flex deck guarantees an extraordinarily smooth riding experience. And the rear spring-loaded brake can stop you safely on a dime—or you can feather it to control your speed on longer descents.

The Monster Kickboard has a patented folding system—very handy for loading into a cargo box or already crowded trunk.

The MICRO Monster Kickboard’s modular construction is made to last—virtually every part is replaceable. Kickboard Canada maintains a comprehensive replacement parts service to replace parts that might wear out over time.

✨GIVEAWAY TIME✨We've teamed up with @rab.equipment to give you a chance to win an epic prize to kick-off your summer adventures and See More Sunrises!
Jet lag can be a beast. It throws off our body clock leaving us drained of energy and constipated; the prime recipe for irritability. Not exactly the ideal vacation vibe, right? In our quest to ensure you don’t get stuck trudging through your day like a zombie, missing first chair, and sleeping through those short, precious daylight hours, we consulted the pros: snowboarder and Canadian Olympian, @spencerobrien spends roughly 200 days a year on the road and just as many in the snow.
Last day of the season @whistlerblackcomb! How was your season on the mountain? #whistlerblackcomb #mountainlifer
We hope this long weekend took you somewhere this beautiful 😍 #mountainlifer
Weekend motivation with @skifelix + @yankaczynski #mountainlifer
FRIDAY FLICK! @jasonhardrath has spent his entire life in motion: whether that was on sports teams as a young boy, as a triathlete through his early adulthood, or in the mountains, through today.
#ThrowbackThursday 👉Rhythmic raindrops pounded on the truck’s canopy. Wet snow avalanches growled down the slopes, and the river echoed its roar—evidence the Nass Valley’s spirit was very alive. According to the Nisga’a people, K’alii-Aksim-Lisims (the Nass River, one of BC’s richest river systems) is as much a part of them as their own flesh and blood, flowing through their land and lives.
Join us to hear from the Squamish Search & Rescue on trip planning, outdoor safety, outing ideas, and tips for backcountry travel while enjoying local beer and good company at @hellyhansenwhistler tomorrow eve! #Linkinbio to register!
@jamiemocrazy’s traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurred on her second competition run in slopestyle skiing at the finals of the World Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler in April, 2015.
Reel Rock 16 is coming to #Squamish! There are two showings 👉 May 20th and June 1st at the Eagle Eye Theatre, Howe Sound Secondary School, in beautiful Squamish supported by @climbonsquamish! #Linkinbio to get your tickets! #climbing #film #filmfest #climbers #adventure #climbon #adventure #squamishbc #tickets
