|
Slide 2009: What do you do all day over there at GB? I wish I had a cool job where I could sit around all day reading Whitelines and chatting on a forum and didn't have to sit / stand/ be (delete as appropriate) in this boring job!
Well its not all forums, reading and riding, its been mad here. Marcus has been off on his jolly's staying with the lovely guys at Ride&Slide and generally ripping up Morzine and left poor little me to hold the fort (sympathy please!). |

| As soon as he got back to the office I shot off to Manchester for the Action Sport and Streetwear retailer show - Slide 2009. To hear about how I coped without Mr GB himself and my escapades up North click here. |

GB Jibber Jabber: Back once again for the renagade master
GB Jibber Jabber with the ill behaviour. Sorry that was rubbish!

| Snowbombing - The Greatest Show on Snow |
What's more enjoyable than knocking one off the wrist?
Answer... knocking two off the wrist!
And that's exactly what the generous guys at Snowbombing are going to do for you and a friend; just answer the question on our competitions page and if you're name comes out of our virtual beanie, we'll knock off a couple of Snowbombing wristbands in your general direction.
Parties included this year are FATBOY SLIM in the forest, Dizzee Rascal in a subterranean arena, an oompah-band at the street party...and a dozen bands and a million or so of the Worlds best turntablists, a-spinnin' and a-scratching their way through the night in venues all across Mayrhofen.
