/r/mountainboarding
Mountainboarding, it's somewhere between skateboarding and snowboarding but now very much a sport in its own right. Invented by snowboarders back in the early 90s during the summer season when there was no snow to shred. The boards have come a long way since then with light decks, channel trucks, pneumatic tires and quick release ratchet bindings.
With instruction it's easy to learn and most are boarding within an hour. It is recommended that you always wear appropriate pads and a helmet.
"Mountainboarding, also known as Dirtboarding, Offroad Boarding, Grass Boarding, and All-Terrain Boarding (ATB), is a well established if little-known extreme sport, derived from snowboarding. A mountainboard is made up of components including a deck, bindings to secure the rider to the deck, four wheels with pneumatic tires, and two steering mechanisms known as trucks. Mountainboarders, also known as riders, ride specifically designed boardercross tracks, slopestyle parks, grass hills, woodlands, gravel tracks, streets, skateparks, ski resorts, BMX courses and mountain bike trails. It is this ability to ride such a variety of terrain that makes mountainboarding different from other board sports." - Wikipedia

Are these mountainboarding boards? Please help.
Found these 2 (two) in a storage unit we bought. r/whatisthisthing responses were uncertain. However, some suggested that this thread may be able to help identify. Are these Mountainboards?
Any help is appreciated!!!

Seven Bumps Hill
I know the first official mountainboard was invented in the early 90’s, but the first recorded session of what most closely resembled Mountain Boarding as we know it was in 1978, when Mike Motta went down Seven Bumps Hill in Malden, MA on a skateboard through the snow as a dare. My grandma lives within walking distance of this place so figured I’d share with people who appreciate it! ☺️

How well do electric mountain boards hold up on hiking trails?
I’m trying to decide if I want to buy a summer board or mountain board. The summer board looks more fun because you can carve and spin easily on flat ground. The mountain board looks fun to hit jumps and ride trials in the woods. Do the electric mountain boards hold up well for mostly flat trails and woods tracks? Because if they are uncomfortable id rather get a board made for flat/concrete.

Problem with my moutain board
Hi! I've had a problem with my mountain board for a few months now. I bought an electric mountain board a year ago and use it for most of my trips. I'm very happy about it, but I notice that the more I use it, the more it naturally turns to the left without even being on the board. The problem must be with the wheels, but I can't figure out how to fix it. I've already tried dismantling the front truck, tightening the screws and forcing the springs, but nothing changes. To move around, I have to press hard to the right to go straight ahead, which tends to throw me off balance, right turns are almost impossible and I feel less and less safe on it. Does anyone know how to solve the problem, or do I have to change the truck completely? (I bought it second-hand, so I don't have the truck reference).

Where to start?
Hi y'all, I'm looking to get into this sport but not sure where to start. I skateboard a bit but live in the blue ridge mountains, so more gravel roads around than pavement. What equipment should I be looking to get as a beginner looking to bomb hills? Are certain brands better than others? Are brakes necessary and when would you brake rather than slide?

One step closer to being finished! I wanted to get it working and take it for a birthday ride yesterday but the weather didn't cooperate, so I went today, and it rode well! Still needs work, wasn't a perfect ride, but unlike last time, it rode under its own power and rode quite well!
