Tweet Is it ever ok to snake? Snaking is a term that’s used to describe the actions of someone in a snowboard park/skateboard park – when they’re pushing their way to the front of the queue… And we do get queues in our snowboard parks; sometimes they’re busy so people line up to hit the [...]
Tweet This is old news, nothing new here, move along please. We’re over the skier vs. snowboarder debate, we all use the mountain together, we’re all there to have fun. There are similarities between the two cultures, but some differences too. It’s all good. Yes, to many, this debate is old news. But what do [...]
Tweet OK – lockers might not be something that springs to mind when you think about your next snowboarding trip, but have you ever wondered why more snowboard resorts don’t have lockers on the mountain? I say more, because I’m pretty sure that I’ve seen some lockers in a lift station somewhere, up the mountain [...]
Tweet Choosing where to go snowboarding isn’t always an easy decision. The combination of expense, a huge variety of resorts, and variable snow conditions make it tough. You don’t want to make a bad choice when you’re spending a lot of money! So what is it that you’re looking for in a resort? What makes [...]
Tweet If you haven’t seen Isenseven’s trailer for their new film, “Kaleidoscope“, you should watch this. As far as teasers go – this one is pretty sick. It sets a high standard for the full movie – but then again, Isenseven usually deliver! Check it out:
Tweet This is the best video part that I’ve seen in a long time. On balance, given that you also get to watch a bunch of short episodes showing Jake’s approach to making it – it easily one of my overall favourites. Check it out – it’s so sick:
Tweet Check out the Fredrik Evensen’s full video part from Isenseven’s 2010 Don’t Panic. Great filming and as you’d expect, some smooth shredding to go with it. The trailer for their new 2011 film, Kaleidoscope, looks pretty sick too. One to watch out for… Fredrik Evensen / Official Part – Isenseven “Don’t Panic!” 2010 Visit [...]
Tweet Torstein has a bunch of these on his Vimeo channel – but this particular game of In Your Face with Halldor Helgason is just sick. At 5:10 in the video, check out the cab 5 nose grab off the toes. Awesome…
Tweet I first watched this shred video on the Key Aspects Coaching site – it’s pretty sick. But here’s the question: which part do you like the best? The first 40 seconds or so is a bunch of shots of the riders jibbing around the piste. The slow-mo of the backside 3 over the poma-track [...]
Tweet OK, first of all, if you haven’t seen this video edit from Seb Toot’s 2010/2011 season, you should watch it. This guy has got some serious ability on a snowboard, whilst also making his tricks look so easy. It’s the Canadian shredder’s video debut, so take a look… http://youtu.be/hDnGPpHEM6U
Tweet There are a couple of things that I want to put out there – both worth a look. First up is the website Key Aspects Coaching. Key Aspects Coaching is written by snowboarder, Chris Skinner. Chris is actually a qualified snowboard instructor, doing freelance work, but based here in the UK. As such, he’s [...]
Tweet Two videos to look at OK – first up is some shredding from one of the UK’s finest – Jamie Nicholls. I’ve been following Jamie on twitter for a while, and more recently, been reading and watching some stuff from his blog. I don’t know Jamie personally, but I’ve seen him and his friends [...]
Tweet Over the past couple of weeks I’ve heard various reports of fresh snow, “it’s dumping here”, “snowplough needed to clear the roads there” – it feels like there’s going to be loads of snow this season. Under normal circumstances, those being living in the UK and not in the mountains, it’s hard to take. [...]
Tweet I was reading this over at SnowLife, and from there I think it came via Snowboard Mag… So they’re building a Stash at Jackson Hole; cool. What I like about this video is that it shows you what the area looks like during the summer, while they’re still working on it. It’s easy to [...]
