Hey guys/girls,
I have just started a new snowboard website - and have had great feedback so far.
It is dedicated to boarders, and just needs members to grow the community.
We have a long trick list, with pictures, explaining how to stick most tricks step by step, user forum, snowboard news, videos, images, and the best tunes to listen to.
Please, I would love to hear your feedback and see you guys there - any feedback will help us at this stage
View this as a suggestion to check it out, not spam.
Find us at www.ustomp.co.uk
Thanks all. Happy boarding
Sam |

Nice idea for trick tips.
Run the site through a spell checker though. 'Shoulders' and 'should' is all over the site spelt with a double 'oo' instead of 'ou'. i.e shoolders.
I'm rubbish at spelling but it does not look good at all. |

1st page i randomly went to: http://www.ustomp.co.uk/nollie360.php
1.8meg 3,072 x 2,304 pixels graphic resized at the bottom of the page - you're taking the piss m8
didn't dare go anywhere else. Know the majority of ppl have broadband these days but that's no excuse for using 2meg logos.
on the same page "land regolar"
others have commented about bad spelling - is there any hardship in spell-checking before posting?
not wanting to knock the site m8, seems promising but these silly mistakes just makes it seem unprofessional. |

I like the site, but not mad on the graphics.
I also suggest if you want to build a community, putting a link to your forums in the top bar and not just on the front page 
Link your main site's registration with phpBB3's, most people won't bother registering twice for one site. |

Hi Guys,
1) We are trying to link forums to main site - but not had any luck so far
2) We use phpmotion are are restricted on the file formats we can use
3) Spelling seems to have been some kind of copy a paste error where all our U's got mistaken for O's or something along those lines, eg. Shoolder, Regolar, etc etc - This is being fixed now
So,
What do you guys think of the grab indicators? I thought it was a nice touch?
Any other suggestions? I will be happy to try and get extra stuff you suggest added for you.
Also guys - feel free to upload your content.. we want to grow. Try and remember, we are 3 days old - we need your support.
Thanks for everything people
Sam |

I'll comment because I am confused and pedantic...
The Japan Air, for example, suggests I use my leading hand to grab but the "grab indicator" refers to my rear hand as the one doing the grabbing...
Also "site" instead of "sight" is an issue here and there...
"gra1" instead of "grab"...
"you" instead of "your"...
Random capitalisation after hyphens...
Random punctuation - semi-colons are all the rage...
Hope that helps. |

Figureitout: Agreed on all those points, I will look into it immediately.
Any suggestions for new content?
Anything you think we are doing well?
Any reason why you haven't signed up for an account?
Thanks in advance for the feedback - it is a learning game.

Facebook has alot pics of friends videos/pics and all the social networking neeeded. SCUK2 will do more of the networking slope wise for people to ride with.
Mpora/Vimeo/Shred tv have alot of peoples vids who are far better than me and make for better watching.
Forum wise you'll never touch the membership of SCUK and GB. FoTP tried after being a successful online mag with a members list already and didnt get anywhere near a flowing forum (a shame)
Trick tips are done to death on Youtube.
Tons of threads a yr on SCUK about riding playlists.
To be honest I think you might be aiming at a market thats pretty saturated. |

Thanks for the honest opinion Dashie.. But anything constructive for us to take away?
(Deleting the whole site isn't really constructive)
As you had to list 5 places in your list that do what we AIM to do, I will view that as a good thing.
Thanks - anyone else?

Yeah sorry seems a bit negative reading it back.
I know your not gonna delete the site but you seem to be spreading it at bit thin, personally I think it needs to be songs from shred site, forum or media. |

No problems - any feedback at all is useful - thanks for taking the time to look at the site.
We resolved the Japan Air issue (grab indicator was wrong, as was the picture) and some (not all  ) of the spelling mistakes - no idea what happened when they imported our word documents into the site but it messed some of it up quite a bit .. We are working on it though.
Keep the feedback coming guys! www.ustomp.co.uk - we want to make it better!
