Summer blues

Well, the clocks have sprung forward (despite the easy rhyme of “spring forward, fall back” I still nearly forgot which way to switch my clocks at the weekend…) which means it’s officially summer. Cue wild and unbridled celebrations all over the land as a shivering population emerges, blinking, from their winter hibernation in centrally heated dens to feel the lukewarm spring sun on their skin. Unless you’re a snow boarder, of course. If you’re a snow boarder, the arrival of More

Board for a good cause

Bored? Life a little dull? Excitement levels on par with a day stuck in Birmingham Airport Parking. If you need another excuse to get out on your board then consider some charitable work.
A friend of mine invited me to a fundraiser for a charity called Snow Camp, (check it out over at www.snow-camp.org.uk) they volunteer to instruct kids in snowboarding (and skiing too) to help support them in their lives and aid in their development and education.

Back Country Snowboarding - A Wild Experience For Any Snowboarder

Back country snowboarding can be a truly wonderful experience. It offers many benefits that ski slope snowboarding does not. For instance, back country snowboarding allows you to snowboard with no one around except for your friends if you choose. You get the whole area to yourself. There are not as many rules as there are on regular slopes. The snow is pure and might not even contain one single track.

Back country snowboarding will allow you to board without constant More

U.S. Father Charged For Threatening Bully

As I was passing through Liverpool airport parking recently I heard on the news the story of a father in The U.S. whose stepdaughter was being bullied by a certain 14 year old girl and the action he took. This bully apparently is well known among the children for being a bully. Even some of the parents know about this bully as they had heard her cuss out, seen her being mean, and also calling other children horrible names.

Snowboarding - Learning This Fun Winter Sport

Snowboarding is a sport that makes the cold days of winter very fun. It is a popular winter sport that involves riding on a single board and gliding down a ski slope or ramp, and is a relatively new sport. Snowboarding is fun and progressive. It is the practice of skiing sideways on one ski, and is allowed on 100% of the mountain. It is really about balance. Snowboarding is a sport that can be very thrilling and exciting, but More

Snowboarding in the UK

As die hard fans will agree snowboarding is an absorbing and exhilarating sport no matter where you choose to do it. As long as there’s decent snow then there is fun to be had. Personally, as well as Finland I’ve been to Blackcomb in Canada and also Avoriaz in France and both were excellent resorts; beautiful and well organised. The UK however is often overlooked when it comes to finding a good snowboarding destination but actually Aberdeen has a great More

How I Learned Snowboarding

My experiences of snowboarding began a few years ago at our local ski slope before we went to val thorens ski. We were teenagers and used to hang around at the place just for fun. We were quite young then and had nothing to do and nor could we go out drinking as the other older boys did. In fact we were rather fascinated by the extreme entertainment that is associated with snowboarding. This was just perfect and suited More

Buying The Right Kind Of Snowboarding Jacket

There are so many people who would rather hit the terrain of three valleys ski snowboarding rather than sliding down the slopes skiing. This is especially true of teenagers due to the wild tricks they can do with their boards. Snowboarding can be a very fun hobby, but it also has the reputation of being the sport where people take the most falls. Taking spills can result in a person becoming wet from the snow and ice. Because of this, More
