Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello,
I was pointed at this site by a skier mate from work, and thought I'd stop by and see what he was talking about.
I've had a look through the FAQ and can't see anything about whether it's the done thing to post an intro or not, so here's a short one (apologies if this is the Wrong Thing)
Name: Ben
Age: 30
Location: London
Experience: Intermediate - I can get down a black run OK but won't enjoy it that much as I'll probably have to go slower than I'd like. Just started riding half-pipe.
Where have I been: Saas-Fee (5 or 6 times), Lake Tahoe, Aviemore
What am I after: Some more boarding mates to talk about it and maybe some people to go on a trip with - my gf's doing some psycho 1200km cycling thing next summer so doesn't want to risk breaking an ankle boarding and not being fit for bike madness ; my oldest boarding buddy has done his back in permanently ; my best mate's doing his MSc and won't get up from his books and my next-best mate is leaving Blighty for sunnier climes. So I thought meeting some new people might be a plan.
So, anyway, yes, hello. If the above should belong somewhere else, then somebody poke me and I'll move it.
Cheers,
Ben

Text book example of how "stressed, edgy, irritable skiers" compare to "chilled, welcoming, friendly" boarders. Enjoy your stay bje,
PS - some of the petty arguments and point scoring the "bearers of the sticks of shame" have on this forum are nothing short of hilarious!!! Keep an eye out for them.
Keep on riding.........

I can't even be bothered with them anymore. Why don't they just enjoy themselves and look forward to the impending white stuff? .............do they remember how to enjoy themselves?

Richie, It's only cause they are all overly excited by the coming winter. Once the snow falls they'd be getting drunk with Stalin and Pol Pot in some resort bar if it meant they could quibble over which of this years skis/boards was the best in powder.
Oh - and welcome mate!!!
