Also going snowboarding for the first time next saturday i cant wait! Ive wanted to go for ages now so am so looking forward to it!


Where you off to?

Have fun, take it easy and try and get the shitest most scratched board you can find, they are a lot more forgiving.

when i went they didnt have any more boards in the hire shop and they wanted to put me on skis. so i kicked off abit and managed to wangle myself the managers nice 1month old latest burton custom board with some immense bindings on!! altogether he said it was worth about £600 muhahahahahaha! i was shit scared of using it!!! lol then i got used to it and started using it properly in the snowpark and alot of off piste....absolutely gorgeous board!!! anyway second to last day i was hammering it down over some moguls and my back foot felt loose, went to go toe edge and i was on my face, huuuuuuuge bail really hurt! the damn binding had snapped! the guy wasnt to happy when i took the board back and neither was i! nearly ruined my holiday! anyway it took alot of sorting for them to realise i didnt actually do anything wrong. basically if you have an old battered board you can get away with alot more wear on it than i could with that brand new one!

still gorgeous board it was.............*drewls*

There's probably more. I tend to go mad on a hobby for a week, and then forget about it for years. RC Cars are a good example of that.

Should have put the caveat that finding the shitest board (most forgiving board) is when you're learning. I brought my board too early, should have got a shitty second hand one off ebay as a first board, as it is totally unforgiving and the first time I used it was as if I'd never been on a board before :( still got used to it now and really love it, but boy was it a long painful process getting there.

I've heard good thinks about the Burton Customs, and tried one a few years back, seem to ride well from what I can remember.

I really want to find somewhere that rents Arbour Boards, as I've been drolling over the Mystic for a few years now, but there's no way I'm spending that much on a board without trying it first.

Not been to Val d'Isére myself, meant to be good mind, but in general you're looking at £150 for a weeks lift pass and about £50 - £100 for gear rental if you can go on-line and book you're lift passes and rental in advance, you normally get about 10% off, also you might be able to get a group discount, however be warned to get a group discount.

val d'isere is a great resort, very popular. for your first time you will love it. in risoul which is a pretty small resort and not amazingly popular i paid around 150euro for both pass and board hire. got gold board rather than premium, but as they didnt have any boards left i basically got a better than premium for the same price *happy*

Awsome! What trials do you ride? The only half decent place ive heard of is rogate?

Been riding on and off for ages but im proper getting into it at uni now, just built myself a 24seven slacker so riding all the time now!


there are a few trails around, lymington is where that picture was taken, and some other places. rogate is cool, there are some proper dirt jumps round that area if you look for them *wink*
we ride alot at chicksands, corby etc.. all over the place basically.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

1st to provide proof of a running Bimmy Conversion!

Brisbane ,Australia

I ride my down hill mountain bike every sunday (if im not racing my brick that is)I try to hit all the state & all the National races too, travelling all over the Australian country side for both the Down Hill mountain bike race scene & the mini racing scene is pretty dam good fun *smiley* I`m the current Queensland Masters champion & was 2nd in last years national series *smiley* & you are never too old to do this shit, i 45 years old now (last monday) & have level one spina bifida so there is no excuses for not getting out there & doing something rediculessly outragessly stupidly dangerously extream. *smiley*



Nearly every thursday/friday/saturday i`m off to Byron Bay surfing, if not every week then i`m there at least every second week for sure.


& i like to pretend to play guitar every morning & night, i bet my neighbours are sick of me tho *smiley*

& i do wish i could get more time snow skiing & snow boarding but it`s just too dam far away & too dam expensive really
