We'll be uploading some pictures from Liza's recent testing trip to the Oopalley chalet, and of people demoing the boards out there to our myspace soon.

Remember you don't have to be staying at Oopalley to demo a board in Morzine, Jo just asks for a deposit to cover the replacement cost if the board is lost, stolen or damaged. Which is returned when the board is returned.

Hi! We've been riding the boards for the last couple of weeks and are very impressed with them. The true spirit has proven to be very durable - surviving about 7 days of riding rocks mud and ice with only a few minor scratches to show for it.

The flex is amazing on all the boards - Andy found the 59 freedom much more flexible than his 58 burton twin.

Watch this space for more reports!

You can test the boards out here in Morzine - we have the official alpine test centre - just get in touch if you want to arrange a time. A breakage/loss/theft deposit of £250 is required if you want to take one out. We have a selection of sizes - although not all of them (yet!) and can take orders for delivery either in the UK or over here.

Hey Guys! My True Freedom is no longer as pretty as she once was!!! Just Come back from a few days in Les Arcs where the conditions were not the best Stones, Mud and Grass coming through all over the place But with a bit of searching and getting up to the higher slopes managed to really put the board through its paces, and I loved it! Having only used it at Tamworth I was a little worried that I wouldn't get on so well on a real piste but it came through with flying colours. Just with a few scratches(one that will have to be filled) and dinks to the edges nothing too serous Unlike my poor mate who took a 5cm gouge out of the base of his Burton on a rock, Not Happy!!

Anyway just keeping you updated, still love it. Have posted a pic too

Hi l don't know if Jason has already posted this somewhere, so apoligies in advance if this is kinda a double posting.

Me and him just finished putting together a little video of the guys on the team and stuck it on you tube. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=TrueSnowboards Thats our channel link and the video is on there we've also linked through to other videos people have made of them riding our boards so if you've got anything on there yourself let us know so we can add you as a favourite.

Its an amateur film but jason and l were proud of our efforts for a first attempt. Plus it didn't cost the company a penny

Thanks to the team that stared in the video and everyone else that provided photos and footage.

I am heading to MK on Sunday evening - a couple of us will have our True boards with us if anyone wants to have a closer look. Don't ask us any technical questions though or we will just look at you blankly and smile Please save those for Liza or Simon. I'd happily talk about the graphics though!

Now I know I haven't posted on here in a while, but I do come and read the forum quite a bit. So how the hell did I miss hearing about a new British snowboarding company that's named after me?!

So... how do you fancy sponsoring me?! It is my surname after all!!

Glad to hear your both proud to show off your boards. Its great to see lots of happy customers on GB.

As for Scotland its quite a long way from where most of the people involved in True are based, well in fact its a very long way, one of the team Neil Stead is based in Scotland so we couldn't write a trip to the far north off entirely. I know Neil rides at Xscape on his board don't know if anyone up there might have spotted him.

We've been offered quite a few demo's at different locations and hopefully we can get something sorted in the new year to visit a few more spots. Keep your eyes on the myspace for the most up to date information of where and when we'll be.

Well I tried my new 163 freedom out at Tamworth last night. Keep in mind that I have limited experience & I've only been boarding 8 times in total. Prior to this I'd rode Cas hire stuff, Burton Bullet & Canyon. Initially I found it more of a challenge to ride but within the hour I was fine. By the end of the night I was very happy. Allot faster than anything else I've had & I really felt that I had more control over what going on. By the end of the night I had progressed significantly & I think the board had a major influence in this.

There were lots of people asking questions about my board & nearly all had heard about the brand.

Bumped in raymorgan901 whilst I was there. He was easy time find with the same board & he spent a great deal of time hugging & kissing his new board.

P.s also had my new Cinch CTX's which were also great too.
