Is Yoga Good For Snowboarding?
Yoga is something that’s been on my radar for quite a while now, though there’s never been a big enough impulse for me to actually give it go. Well, there have been a few things recently that have made me reconsider. Whilst I’m still not convinced that I am going to try it – that’s [...]
Plan for Snowboarding Next Summer
Injury update The last 10% of my walking-recovery is taking it’s time. I can walk without a crutch – but even when I’m concentrating specifically on staying straight, I’ve got a wobble at the hip. It’s proving difficult to isolate the muscles involved and make them stronger, compared with the obvious muscles in the leg, [...]
Update: Missing Out On Jeremy Jones’ Deeper, Online vs. In Store? And Physiotherapy
Deeper There’s a premiere of Jeremy Jones’ Deeper, tomorrow night in Amsterdam. If you don’t know, Deeper is a film put together by Jeremy Jones and Teton Gravity Research. It’s not only Jones shredding it in – there are a bunch of other big freeriders, like Travis Rice and Johan Olofsson. From what I’ve heard [...]
Why I Won’t Be Snowboarding This Season
Back in July I had a collision on my mountain bike: the car won. The most significant injury was a broken femur. The leg was pinned, I lay in hospital for 17 days, nearly 3 months later and I’ve only just started to bear weight on my right leg. It’s going to take a while [...]

Gav out of action
Hey all. Just a quick note from Mal here, one of Gav’s mates here in the UK. Wanted to let you know that Gav took a pretty bad tumble earlier this week, but off his bike rather than his board. I’ll hand over to the man himself for the gory details; reads a bit like [...]
Snap!
It’s been around a month since I was last boarding, so I was well up for last Friday’s session at Castleford. However, the night unfortunately ended rather abruptly when James broke his collarbone. Ouch! And it totally snapped – the picture here doesn’t do it justice… when he moved his shoulder the bone was really [...]
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 [...]
