Thomas Beaton — Thu, 28 May 2009 11:13:04 +0000

As the title says - the 09/09 SL-R has been reviewed by the NY Times gear tester Cameron Hunter. His comments were With "a lot of pop" and "great edge-hold," it was good everywhere and in all conditions: "very, very stable at high speeds," "floated through the powder amazingly," "great in trees" and "plowed through cruddy snow." He said the board is for the intermediate or advanced rider. It was his favorite board of the test, and a board he would ride every day.

Charles is a super motivated, all round snowboarder. Foremost he likes to ride full speed trough the powder, combining a fluid yet aggressive style with airs and cliff drops (up to 15 m.). Not afraid to hike, he enjoys and respects the Alpine environment. He is also an avid and stylish freestyler and is able to bust massive 720’s on the biggest kicker line, ride (street) rails and represent in the halfpipe.

We covered the Hemel Hempsteads Snow Centre PR day already. I Saw this video of the first freestyle night and immediately recognised our team rider Lon on his evo. There is also a mystery Never Summer SL in there as well. Those lumo green bases stand out so well.

“The best snow this side of the alps” it sounds a little bit cliché but could not be more true for Hemel Hempstead’s new and very anticipated snowdome. As a few of us had arrived for the special PR day we were greeted with free drinks and food just for us. They had a fantastic bar that was very homey with different areas for observing, resting, eating, an outside terrace to watch the slope. They even had computers where you could pick up your pre booked tickets helping save a lot of time.

The sun is out - It is longboard season

Thomas Beaton — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:41:36 +0000

As the weather gets better, the roads are dryer and it becomes longboard season. We no longer need to session on slippy roads or hide out in car parks. Even if it is just a quick run to the shops, it is worth getting your board out. The clocks changing gives us time to session after work too.
