    Friday, October 29, 2010

    Tweet With a very small number of exceptions, wearing a snowboarding helmet is optional. It’s up to you; it’s a personal choice. But it’s obvious, right? Wearing a helmet is safer than not wearing one. Let’s say you fall and bang your head on the icy piste, or worse, maybe a rail in the snowboard [...]

  • Can You Learn To Snowboard Without Any Expensive Lessons?

    Wednesday, October 27, 2010

    Tweet Snowboarding is expensive. Lessons are expensive. Sometimes lessons are great – you come away feeling like you’ve learned so much.

Yes, some people [...]

    Monday, September 6, 2010

Is there a good snowboard-companion sport? Does it matter? Maybe it does – read on, and as usual, add your own ideas. Good reasons [...]

    Friday, August 13, 2010

  • Why Snowboarding Is Better Than Skiing

    Wednesday, June 30, 2010

    Tweet Each to their own. There’s no right or wrong. I get that. This is my opinion. It used to be the case that snowboarders on the mountain were the minority. That’s not the case anymore. I don’t have the stats, but I think it’s fair to say that both disciplines are big. And these [...]

“Freestyle” Equipment Used for “All Mountain” – What Do You Think?

Tweet I like to jib around, hit jumps, rails and boxes, and when I’m riding the rest of the mountain I like to either bomb it fast or try to make use of natural features. As you might expect, I love to ride powder. That doesn’t happen as often as the other stuff, so my [...]

Shred Edit from the 2011/2012 Season

Tweet The afterbang site has been fairly quiet over the summer months (if you live in the UK you’ll know that it hasn’t really been much of a summer). Likewise, I haven’t snowboarded since getting back from Les Arcs (France) in March… However, I did finally get around to editing the footage from last season. [...]

Indoor Summer Shred at Milton Keynes

Tweet Recently I asked the question: Go Bigger in the UK? There’s no doubt in my mind that we should have bigger jumps in the UK, allowing the British riders to progress more… But putting bigger-jumps to oneside for the moment, it’s clear that UK riders are getting on nicely with what they’ve got.
