Sick
I stumbled across the following video on YouTube. It’s really short, but I think this bs 180 looks so sick that I should share it… Smooth and stomped. I’d quite like those skills
What's The Park Like?
It’s a question that I’ve asked myself many times. So what is the park like? Can I expect something good? Is it gonna be all rails or kickers too?… If you don’t know someone who’s been to a resort before, finding out what state the park is likely to be in when you get there [...]
The ABCs of Avalanche Safety: Review
This is the first book of its kind that I’ve bought and read. Most people would agree that when it comes to avalanche safety, a book alone is no substitute for regular practice with avalanche equipment, guidance from an expert or real life experience of travelling in the backcountry. I was looking for an introduction, [...]
VholdR Snowboarding Helmet Cam – The Real Deal?
Someone suggested that I should check out the VholdR helmet cam, (update: they’re now Contour Cameras), as it might be more durable than the first two that I mentioned… Man this camera looks sick! The video quality seems pretty good. The mounting to a helmet certainly looks more solid than what I’ve seen with the [...]
Helmet Cam, Round Two
Well I’ve ordered the Oregon ATC-2K helmet cam. I’ve got some reservations, but I’m confident it’s gonna fulfill at least some of my needs. The whole package was pretty reasonable too. I bought the camera itself from purely gadgets. It was £75 plus £5 delivery. It may not be the cheapest price around but I’m [...]
Absinthe's Optimistic: DVD Review
I’m a fan of Absinthe films, especially the last two, so I was really looking forward to this season’s Optimistic. It didn’t disspapoint – I think Optimistic’s a good snowboard movie with some exceptional parts… but for me, overall, it didn’t grab in quite the same way as Futureproof and More. So which bits didn’t [...]
Helmet Cam?
I’d quite like to try out a helmet cam next year in Fernie. I’ve seen some footage around the web that looks pretty good, and then there’s some of the examples from snowboarding films. My current video camera doesn’t have video-in, however, which eliminates nearly all of the options on the market. As far as [...]
Deep Powder And Avalanche Safety
So it seems that it’s snowing everywhere. Fernie had a half meter during a 24 hour period this week and I think some places in the Alps have had as much as a meter. There’s still a while to go before I get there, but it’s a good sign all the same. The thought of [...]
