Snowboarding

Snowboarding

has anyone snowboarded in Livigno, Italy... probably the wrong forum to ask but worth a shot.

Never been snowboarding, been skiing a few times tho.

my mate probs has... he travels around europe to all the snowboarding hotspots and he's supposed to have a lot of talent.

im going to the slope in sunderland soon for lessons

don't fall over, it really hurts on the dry ski slopes, the soft bouncy snow is much better

It doesnt hurt when you fall over on snow at all, Skiing on a dry slopes much harder aswell, if anyones planing on going skiing id reccomend just getting a days lessons while ur there, thats all you really need if that if your a fast learner.

lol ive been skiing on the s'land one before but got told to get off cos i was "a danger to myself and others"

hoping i can do better at snowboarding

pm's btw

havent been on on a board since my teenage years but used to go every weekend.

just booked up for a week in january... havent been on a mountain in about 6 years

Smog I'll be at silksworth loads over the next few months so I'll no doubt see you.

skiing's piss, what were you doing to get told to get off?

i'll keep an eye out for ya, been meaning to go for months but always seem to put it off!

i'm gonna get down to tynemouth for some surfing too before the weather turns crap

falling over :blush:

nah i'd never done it before and i was like bambi on ice... altho being a percussionist i should have good coordination!

my gf is fluent french/italian so she spends loads of time over there.. she was in corchevel last season but i'll ask her cos shes pretty well travelled...

got a few trips to tamworth planned soon

Fucking hell, well i never !!

One of my relatives is italian and is heavily into snowsports ... she reckons that Livigno is good for "boarder-friendly slopes" whatever that means !!!!

I fancy having a go ......was supossed to be going to a place called Xscape near Milton Keynes to give it a try, but then found out i was pregnant
Anyway, the little one is probably old enough to come with us now.
Has anyone ever been to Xscape ??? Is it any good ???

yeah theres meant to be a good park too... and its £5 for a bottle of vodka that would cost £30 here as there is no tax in the region

canada is next year andy

three months now, i'm reaching a record

mug shots

Get to canada if you've got the cash. Im planning france and italy this season, italy is meant to have some sweet resorts.

Means its not full of wankers on ski's normally sporting retro 80's dayglow ski kit that you can see 3 miles down the slope. Technically its those mountains that have not too many flat bits as obviously unlike skiers you don't have poles to push yourself along and its a pain to unstrap and walk unless you're hiking the 20ft kicker you've just built :chill:

I started to learn to Snowboard at Sheffield Ski Village on the student night but it clashed with a good club night at Bed so started going there instead
