Hey guys!
New member here just saying hello.
A little about myself...
I’ve been boarding since February and been away on 2 x 1 week holidays (pas de la casa) and only about 6 or 7 times to my local Tamworth snow dome. Unfortunately I have been plagued with quite bad injuries and my board has been sitting in my room unused for about 4 months now which is bad.
As I used to skateboard when I was younger I picked up the hobby quite quickly and decided to get my first board package. Boots was first and I decided on some Vans Jamie Lynn boots because they fit great and you also get free boobs on the side. Tried Salomon, DC’S, Burtons, K2’s and thirty-two’s (various models from each brand) and the vans came up on top closely followed by the thirty-two’s but Vans it was. Now time for the board and bindings. I ended up going for a Salomon Riot 2010 152 as I’m only 11 & ½ stone and 5’9 and (when I’m back) would like to start getting into the freestyle side of things so thought this was a good choice. Along with some Rome SDS 390 bindings all for £360.00 I did not think was too bad. Not that this matters AT ALL....but I really think that the graffiti style bindings go really well with my board? What do you think? Always nice if things go together.
I’m currently sitting on my settee watching homes under the hammer with a broken ankle from playing football and will be for the next 6 weeks. I hope I’m still able to board when I get back. Some pictures of my gear are below so you can have a look.
Hope to speak to some of you guys soon and thanks for reading.

i think the whole "not being on the baord enough" situation is the same for most people on here, so you are in good company lol...
for "ultimate" healing you need a good range of TV.... after the extreme channel (Obviously) then you must get into some cool TV series.... ill start you off with your first 2
Steven Segal - Lawman... classic
Bondi Rescue.... never a dull moment haha

In the meantime help make this place a little more active over the summer!
And don't watch that abortion of a tv show! I'm working from home for a few weeks and I'd rather watch no tele than that tele in the background Get hold of some snowboard movies and pass the day dreaming of 12's and tripple corks. |

The Yesterday Channel in the morning is pretty cool, the Shipwreck detectives was great value.
Also (I know it's supposed to be a kids program) but deadly 60 is good, it was in the morning, but I think it is now 4:35 BBC1 Thurs |
