This is Powdersurfing! But Who’s if For?
Noboarding, Powdersurfing, this type of riding looks pretty awesome. Start by taking a look at this mini-documentary made by Jeremy Jensen from powsurf.com. http://vimeo.com/16306539 So Good. But who’s it for? Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to spend time riding powder like this. I’m just wondering, how many people get the opportunity?
Does Hypnosis Have a Place in (Your) Snowboarding?
Hypnosis. Hypnotism. Surely these things have nothing to do with snowboarding? For 99% of snowboarders that’s probably true, maybe even 99.9%.

The following is taken from the wikipedia entry for hypnosis: Hypnosis is “a trance state [...]
The Curse Of The Camera?
Taking photos and video of your snowboarding can be a lot of fun. It’s something that you’ll do with your friends and you can get a lot of satisfaction when you look back at the results. Frame a good photo, post it on Facebook or just keep it around on your phone, handy. Just glancing [...]

Does Visualisation Have a Place in (Your) Snowboarding?
Perhaps you’ve heard about how competitive sportsmen and sportswomen use visualisation techniques to improve their performance? Perhaps not? The power of the mind… Positive thinking. And it’s not just sports, it can have a real impact on all areas of life… Yeah, yeah – so what’s that got to do with snowboarding? What is visualisation? [...]
Should You Set Your Bindings Back In Powder?
For some people riding powder is effortless – and it shows. For others, the experience can be a mix of fun and frustration. One of the main difficulties riders face when riding in deeper snow, is keeping the nose of the board above the surface; stopping the board from digging in. Have you been in [...]
Ellis Brigham Has The Sole Rights…
I need some new snowboard boots. The last time I was at the Xscape complex in Castleford I thought I’d spend a bit of time before getting on the slope trying some boots on. Ellis Brigham/TSA was closed, so I strolled across to Subvert. It seemed kinda weird that this snowboard shop didn’t have any [...]
