I dont take stupid risks before a hol but i do try to carry on the exercise as normal.

Mainly for the fact that after takin it easy before the hol last yeat halfway through my first day I twisted me knee! So if its gonna happen it will get ya one way or another!

Serious ability to get over fear, I hope I am never that confident about anything let alone snowboarding...that kind of confidence gets you killed.

A friend told me yesterday that that was a clip from a film. It's about a group of (extreme) boarders touring Alaska. Apparently a couple of the group actually died on that tour!

Dont think anyone died like. Ive seen the film look back through the thread :) its called "First Decent". Its a good film.

Yeah its from a film called First Decent. Im not a boarder but I do like the video a lot. It follows a group of boarders young and old and famous in their own ways into Alaska back country. That First Decent posted above is the climax of the film! Also i think the peak is called 7601 if anyone is looking for further info.

Have a read of that I found it very informative.

26 sleeps and counting. Wouldnt mind going twice next year the extra one a bit earlier, just too long to wait till march!

I seen a dry slope once about 15 years ago, it was just a rectangle at an angle! Since then thats how ive pictured them till now. Was amazed to see cool things like...bends! Never mind half pipes and jumps. haha
