Mountainboard Maniacs
When best friends Jake and Peter discover mountainboarding, they
decide it's one of the best free-ride sports around. They're stoked
about bombing down slopes on what looks like a snowboard on spring-loaded
wheels. When a junior-guide training trip promises action on some of
the Pacific Northwest's largest mountains, they shrug off the fact that all
three peaks are sleeping volcanoes that could erupt at any time. The
boys find themselves in a complicated situation--there's Peter's secret
agenda, Jake's inner turmoil, the arrival of two girls, and a nasty senior
guide. But things really heat up when the mountain begins rumbling.
Find out whether Jake and Peter can get the group down the mountain
alive in Mountainboard Maniacs, the explosive finish to the Take
It to the Xtreme series.
