Good idea to get this thread going!!!!!
I've had a quick scan and the first snowboarding I can see is the boardercross at 10pm on th 15th.
Anyone know the timetable for the snowboarding ???? Either live or just the times the events are on telly?

Not sure, Heard an add on BBC R1 this afty saying they start coverage on Sat. Maybe they'll start with an intro followed by actual qual on Monday?
Either way its win win, fed up of only seeing skiing on tv

yeah, cant wait. Whatever you think about it being in the Olympics, its great to watch those guys (and girls) riding the pipe.

Theres going to be Olympic coverage on the red button on bbc aswell, so hopefully there will be more snowboarding coverage on there.
I thought that at the last olympics snowboarding was one of the most watched events, so why is it not getting more coverage this time?

Hopefully I'll be able to watch it... I'll be in Toronto on Sunday!
Wrong side of Canada for the games unfortunately, but at least it's the same country!
I plan on spending Monday getting over any jet-lag by drinking coffee and watching the BoarderX!
