| GONEboarding News #15 - " The aftermath issue" |
|
| Hello! |
|
Well dang us if there isn't a sparkle in the air to this dazzling April Tuesday - the season may be nearly over but that's not enough to deter us from all things snow. This issue, we've got the aftermath of Snowbombing for you plus we hear from the very talented Sam Cullum about his love of Chuck Norris and He-Man. As ever, let us know what you think.

Snowbombing, the aftermath: The music and mayhem in Mayrhofen is over for another year and the hangovers are slowly subsiding. Through the haze the good times shone out and Rachael was there to capture them all - including the GONEboarding Wacky Races Valley Rally: "I've never navigated a mountain alone, I've never ridden carrying a clip board and I didn't want to be the last one back holding up the whole event. No pressure then!"
See and read about the highs and lows of the week here - were you papped for the gallery?

Vote Ohs - the winner!: Our ingenious competition of photos that make you say "Oh" has drawn to a close and the winner chosen - seeing Swen Hiemstra (right), 27 from the Netherlands, spreadeagled and showing some GB love certainly makes us go "Oh"...
Swen wins lots of GB, Snowboming and Westbeach essentials.

| GB Jibber Jabber: This week we're bigging up British rider Sam Cullum, who freely admits he'd marry Ann Widdecombe. That's right, you heard it here first, the 19 year old fancies himself as a bit of a toyboy... Get Jibber Jabbered now! |

|
| GB Monthly Jam: Thanks to all those who turned up to the snowdome at MK to shred into the night - it was good to see both familiar riders and new faces. It's a bargain of a night, so don't miss the next one on Friday 22nd May. Check out the pics from the night here. |
