China Man Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I have been there once, nice to go again with a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Im up for a Supra Snowboard meet at MK. I thought about knee pads but it was just at the top of the training slope where there was alot of compacted ice in large bumps. I did 9:30 to 5 Ollie and i think it was £150. You can do it in 3 hour blocks but it works out more expensive. I think Sabrina mentioned going there to learn to ski. Here's thier website.

SteamAhead Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Oooo snowboarding, now there's something I'd love to try. (When I have some money,grrrr!) I do a bit of kite boarding (which can be hard work at times) I would think snowboarding can make you ache after a while though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Ha, James if you need any tips come down my way. I taught freestyle snowboarding for 1 1/2 years in Canada, Europe and NZ. If anyone is interested I might be taking Jan 07 until Mar 07 to teach in Canada again so if any of you are thinking about it give me a holler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
