It held up surprisingly well although I kept the full brace on for the whole trip.
I found the brace hindered movement of the leg a fair bit and it caused a load of muscle pain in the calf as the calf muscle was trying to over compensate the limited movement.

There were occasions when riding at speed on the heel edge the brace prevented the leg flexing enough and hitting uneven surfaces just made me have to put my arse down before I caught an edge.

I couldn't resist attempting having a go in the park at a jump or two, but bottled it each time.

Overall it was awesome though

I should be brace free by next season

Thanks from me too. I've already posted on facebook and bulgariaski too but it was this forum that started it all off. So thanks to john, tracey, francis, garrick, si and drew for helping to make this one of my best holidays! Can't wait for next year - maybe some or all of us will meet up again. I'll certainly be going back!! :-)

Aye up G and Boardangel !
Glad to hear, like me, that you had the best time recently in Borovets .
I am really happy that I started this thread off and am glad that we got to meet [and more importantly ride> with such friendly, like-minded people.
I really hope we can meet up again some time at a fridge for a bit of indoor action [oooooer missus > and, who knows, maybe next year our Goneboarding Posse might be hitting the slopes somewhere else.
No doubt you all have settled back into the daily grind but don't forget those bluebird days and the chilli's at Bobby's
Take care and hope to see you all again some time soon.

I am hoping for a similarly excellent response to an earlier post prior to my trip to Borovets. I'm looking for snowboarders to ride with for the week. A mixed ability (and sex ) group would be ideal as my partner, Tracey, is a good standard but not into the charging and larking about that I seem to get into. She was able to ride with a group of girls and it has seen her confidence build massively. So much so that she was tackling steep reds by the middle of the week with no fear !
This will be our 5th time to Pamp's so we know the area pretty well, but we are always up for some additional local knowledge of 'the secret spots'.
We are also travelling with our friend and her son. She is a skiier - bless her for her misguided choice but she is a really good friend so we allow her to ride with us.
Her son is a developing grom and has no fear of chucking himself at the nastiest looking slope he can find. Having someone his own age (14) to ride with though, won't hurt and will stop him feeling as though he is the nominated carer for a bunch of juiced up geriatrics.
So if you are a mixed group of skiiers / boarders out there and you will be in Pamps on the dates above, get in touch and we'll arrange a meet.
