Shoulder And Fitness
My shoulder is improving, but kinda slowly. Just about all of the symptoms have dissapeared now. Trouble sleeping looks like it’s going to hang around for the longest; lying on my front can cause discomfort in the morning. According to the doc, it’s probably a good time for me to start strength-building excercises. I know [...]
Sooooo Good!
I saw this (Torstein Horgmo in Northstar Park) over on P.Wikberg’s blog – but had to post it here too. It’s soo good. I’d like to visit a mountain with a park like that… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjLlYPyT1fw&hl=en&fs=1]
Fernie: Cornerstone Lodge Review
During the 2007/2008 season, we stayed in the Cornerstone Lodge, in Fernie, Canada (BC). The Cornerstone Lodge is in the actual resort, rather than Fernie Town, which is a bus ride down the road. I don’t know the exact price that we paid for the 6 person appartment as we booked as part of a [...]
Early Season Last-Minute-Deals
Just recently someone mentioned to me that there are some pretty good last-minute deals going with Crystal Ski. Naturally I had a browse over the weekend, and, they weren’t wrong! Flights and accommodation for £149 is pretty good – as are the destinations (Mayrhofen, Tignes, Cervinia). I think the deals on offer here fly mainly [...]
Injury Update
I spent a little over two hours in the hospital this evening, waiting to see a doctore and then to get an x-ray. It’s been around a week and a half since the shoulder-slam, and the end of the collarbone has been feeling weird. To be clearer – towards the end of last week the [...]
New Shred Stick: It's A Lib Tech!
I bought my new board this weekend. It’s pretty sick; I like it a lot. You might have my previous post which listed the 8 boards I was considering. From that collection, I’d made a short-list in my head: the DH, the Skate Banana and the DC MLF – and maybe the T1, but it’s [...]
New Dakine Luggage: Split Convertible & Tour Bag Review
For a while now I’ve been intending to move away from having an all-inclusive, wheeled boardbag (e.g. Burton Wheelie Locker), to using two pieces of luggage: a regular case plus a smaller board bag. I’ve now completed the transition, pairing a Dakine Tour Bag with a Dakine Split Convertible. Despite having more first hand experience [...]
Castleford Shred
We headed to Cas’ last night for an indoor freestyle fix. It’s been a long time since I was there last, and I haven’t ridden since I was last at the Chill FactorE, when I slammed pretty hard on my back. Probably a little rusty, and out of shape… I gotta do something about that. [...]
