Video of Costume snowboarding and ski Day on the Slopes Hinterglemm and Saalbach 2011

Just for kicks :)

See if you can sport all the crazy animals and super hero's on the slopes.

Extra bonus if you can spot a snowboarding where's wally :)

I'm the one filming so you will not see me in the one :)

Monster snowboarding competition Saalbach Hinterglemm 2011

I was lucky enough to see a little of the qualifiers on Friday but had to head home :( for the final on Saturday night...

Check out the action here:

One thing to note is if you like crazy base jumping people skip to the 5th min and watch!!!!!

Looking forward to next year my 6th year over in Austria and I've been back less than a week :(

Snowboard edges - Tuning your own

I'm bloody old now and thought it's about time I sort my board out myself instead of paying a load of cash for someone else to do it..

So how do you go about tuning your snowboard?

I found this video which is one of the best.. Loads of others but the marker trick is pretty cool...

Anyway check it out..

I'm yet to buy the kit and have a play as I'm going to check out what my local snowboard shop uses and get the same sort of stuff..

From the above video and other snowboard tuning videos I've watched you seem to need the following:

• Plastic scraper
• Mental scraper
• File
• Diamond Stone
• ptex
• wax
• vice

I'll update the post and start another with new advice on tuning :)

UK snow here we come :)

Taken from http://uksnowmap.com here is the current UK map of snow via twitter.

Will we get enough snow to do boarding in the uk like last year and the year before???

The year before I had a week in Alps to come back to snow more snow and snow, went boarding in my local park and golf course.

Just this week Snow has been not just hitting the UK but also the Alps are filling up nicely..

It was about -2c this at 9am here in St Albans in the UK and places like Oxford hitting -5c !!! eck!

Check out today's snowfall in at under 1,000m in Austria :)

A bit of powder

I don't have many videos of stuff that might interest others but this is one that reminds why I live and go snowboarding.. Yep no big turns or big jumps as I haven't got a bullet camera (yet, anyone reading this should buy me one) so can't do much with a little camera in hand :)

Yet again its Austria and in Hinterglemm in 2009 this time (your notice most stuff is in Hinterglemm as I've been many times) :)

Warm Welcome to Snowboarding stuff.

So what's the score?

Well I love boarding and thought I'd just put this blog up.. that's it really..

:)

Anyway this is me and the OH in Austria.

I'm going to get some product reviews of boards clothes etc up along with trying to blag some mate to post too :)
