Dirt boarding, also known as mountain boarding, involves riding a wheeled board with bindings over grass, dirt or mixed off-road terrain. The activity combines elements of skateboarding and snowboarding, with riders using balance, control and downhill techniques to navigate natural slopes and purpose-built tracks.
ActivitySure can cover dirt boarding and mountain boarding when you are taking part abroad, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. As the activity takes place on uneven ground and often involves speed on descents, having suitable travel insurance in place before taking part is important.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go dirt boarding?
Dirt boarding and mountain boarding have strong roots in the USA and the UK, where riders use forest trails, open countryside and designated off-road areas. The activity has also grown in popularity in Australia, particularly in regions offering wide natural slopes and adventure-based outdoor experiences. Many travellers take part through organised sessions or activity centres while abroad.
Some locations offer guided experiences, while others allow independent riding within approved areas.
Here's why dirt boarding travel insurance matters:
Riding on uneven terrain increases the risk of falls, loss of control or collisions with natural obstacles. Injuries can occur even at moderate speeds, and access to medical care may be limited in more remote locations. Travel insurance helps protect you financially if you need medical treatment or support while taking part abroad.
Helpful travel tips
- Wear appropriate safety equipment, including a helmet and protective pads.
- Start on gentle slopes before attempting steeper or faster descents.
- Maintain control at all times, particularly when riding downhill.
- Keep clear of trees, rocks and other natural obstacles.
- Ride only in approved areas and follow any local guidance or signage.
- Always follow the instructions provided by organisers or instructors and adhere to safety recommendations throughout the session.
