The Camera Isn't Rolling
I returned from the LG Action Sports Tour weekend (more on that to come) to be greeted by a letter from my insurance company regarding the claim on my stolen camera equipment… Considering the particular circumstances of your loss and the above policy exclusion we will unfortunately, be unable to assist you with you claim [...]
Orange AIM Series Jam Session Tonight!
The Orange AIM Series will be at Xscape Castleford tonight. I believe that anyone can enter, and the event this evening is going to be a jam session format, which should make for real good watching (and taking part). There’s a group of us travelling down to Birmingham tonight for the LG Action Sports Tour [...]
Worst Slam Of The Season…
…and I wasn’t even snowboarding – or skating for that matter. I was just riding to work and managed to send myself over the handle bars, skidding to a stop on the pavement, using my right arm as a brake. I also added a chunk out of my left hand, a slight sprain on the [...]
2nd Visit To Xscape Castleford
I made my second visit of the summer to Castleford on Friday night and it was another good freestyle session. The rail/box setup was very good and included a nice flat-down rail, a down-flat-down box and two c-boxes. Similar to the week before the kicker was small. I spent most of my time riding the [...]
Afterlame: DVD Review
Time and time again I go back to watching Afterlame. Without doubt it is my favourite snowboarding DVD. Some others come close, and it might be worth me listing them so you can get an indication for the type of films that I like, such as: Lame, DC MTN.LAB, White Balance, DropStitch and Afterbang, but [...]
Snow Then Skate
Last weekend’s action of snowboarding and skateboarding was so good that I’m going to do it again: Castleford on Friday night and then the R-Kade skatepark on Saturday morning. Here’s this week’s park layout for Xscape Castleford (taken from SCUK): Right Top, Zone 1: 10m Rail and 4m Down Rail (side kickers) Right Top, Zone [...]
The Kink Is Erm… Kinked
I didn’t notice it at the time, but a day or so after the trip to Castleford I found that my snowboard has taken another beating. As I think back to Friday evening I do seem to recall a rather unnatural cracking sound… I’m not quite sure how I did that, but it doesn’t look [...]
Best Skate Session Yet?
OK, I’m writing this on Sunday morning (ish) and I must say I’m aching. Snowboarding on Friday night was excellent; a quick drink and bite to eat afterwards meant I fell into bed around 2am Saturday morning – with the prospect of leaving the house at 9am to go skating at the R-Kade skatepark in [...]
