It's people who insist on taking their boots on the plane who use up all the overhead storage space.

Really annoying when you can't put your bag or jacket above your seat because some [Shut it] has filled it up with oversized hand luggage

Waits for the "I wear my boots on the plane" reply....

I sometimes get fall line magazine but I have been known to pick up Whitelines.

I know it's a snowboard mag but I really enjoy the photos and the articles are well writen.

Last month they did a 4 page story of your average seasoned snowboarder from the UK. They guy was in his early 30s and decided to give up his steady job in London to do a full season in France.
He worked 10-14 hour shifts in a chalet and during days off, boarded in his spare time.
It wasn't a glamorous ending returning home in spring this year to now living with his mum and having no job.

Really good read.

Is that jacket made by Westbeach?

Or made by Bassetts lol

Usually when it's near the time I watch a few ski / snowboard vids on youtube and download the good songs that they use.

Had cheap pair around the £35 mark before and ended up chucking them due to poor ventilation.

I have a pair of Oakley A frames hat i find gives really good ventilation allowing air to flow at the top of the lense and the bottom of the frame.

I also picked up a pair of electric EG1s on sale that I'm itching to use.

:shock:

Big advantage of a helmet, compared to a hat, is the ventilation that stops you getting too sweaty - a beanie's going to stuff that up (literally!).

True, thats why I wear a bandana like a head band under mine. catches the sweat on my brow and lets the top of my head breath.

Yep, I take a deep breath....and begin.
