Nice to see that snowboarding is still alive and well in the UK, with some solid support from Westbeach.

Somehow they are STILL, each year, going bigger and faster, filming better and doing more progressive tricks. Amazing.

Tried out the photoshop photomerge on one of the railslides I did last weekend. It blended the photos together really well, but it missed out the middle and end of the sequence for some reason.

The weather was amazing today, we had rain, sun, blizzard, sun, blizzard, sun, rain, sun.

Dumping again here, but i’m off to the England this weekend so no snow for me. Heading to my favourite spot in the UK though, and lots of fam to see so it should be good!

Happy Easter!

Really nice edit from Kenson‘s trip down to Salzburg from Antwerp for a long and epic snow filled weekend.

We spotted these avalanche barriers in Flachauwinkl which looked like they had a nice takeoff and landing, so we hiked up a bit to scout some angles, then Benny dropped in. He was a little surprised at how much air he got the first time and missed the grab, but always the perfectionist, hiked back up to hit it again and nailed it. The impact on the landing looked a little hard so I jumped it a bit further down where it was lower.

Quick and dirty edit from us riding at the weekend :p

Had some friends down from Belgium this weekend, and after their 8 hour drive down, they hit the snow jackpot. I hit the Belgian beer jackpot as they brought down a fine selection of Belgium’s finest beer. Took them out to the Belgian bar in Salzburg in the evening for some more Belgian beer (after the local Austrian Brewery of course). Did you know Belgium has over 135 breweries producing more than 700 different beers? Neither did but I like beer so I was impressed. They were impressed with the snow too so we showed them around a couple of the finest Spots for snowboarding in Salzburgland.  Took the GoPro Camera out for a couple of runs and finally got some nice snow and sunshine. Will try to put together an edit this week.
