The Benefits Of Riding With Your Friends
The last few times I’ve to Castleford, I’ve been snowboarding with my friend, Ian. There have been others in the group, but we’ve been the core two, there each time… …In the past, way back in 2006, I spent a good handful of Friday nights driving down to the snowdome, on my todd, shredding, and [...]
First Video Evidence…
I was at the Castleford snowdome on Friday night and it turned out to be a good session. They’re running off-season prices, so the freestyle night costs £28 rather than £35.

Second Session At Cas: Putting The Garden Practice To The Test

First Snowdome Action For A While

I’m thinking of going to Castleford this Friday for the freestyle night. Ever since being in Morzine this season without actually being able to snowboard, I’ve been champing at the bit to go shred. That, and I’m pretty excited by some of the tuition in the SnowboardAddiction videos… The problem has been my ankle; it’s [...]
