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 :)
