WTF..who told you that dryslope was crap for snowboarding?
dryslope is the backbone of UK riding and is the main reason we've got so many riders competing at international levels
Jamie Nichols, Sam Cullum, Jenny Jones etc etc all started on dryslope
just cus your crap at dryslope doesn't make dryslope crap for snowboarding  |

| dryslope isnt crap, but it aint great either, regardless if it 'was' the backbone. It burns like hell and ruins clothes, bindings and boards. |

no one told me dude, its based on my own opinon of riding dryslopes.
Whats your opinon of me being crap based on, we've never met and as far as I know we've never riden together????
The point of my post was to question the requirement of a practice based on two already questionable "original alternatives". It wasnt to slate dryslopes. |

don't have a benny
i wasn't specifically calling you crap, i was defending the virtues of dryslope, which you attacked when making your point about the oversized boot polishing brush.
and highlighting that the main reason that peeps think dryslope's crap is that they find it hard to ride, even international pro's have ridden dryslope and been amazed how the uk has progressed with a surface that is so hard to master.
no dryslope isn't as good as snow, but with until fairly recently only 1 dome in the country was the only choice...and is still the best financial choice if you want to ride in the UK all year and still progress...
watch standing sideways or broken thumbs and see the tricks that people are laying down on dryslope....it ain't crap
and i'm sure your a wonderful rider, who in no way is crap 
i however am a crap rider despite riding for over 15 years, but still think dryslope rocks...specifically manky old dendix, that is to thin and has wire sticking out to knacker your board...thats hardcore  |
