i was reading the trick tips this afternoon and i have to say they are shocking
you are running a video hosting site and your trick tips are a list of instructions... bad instructions at that....
take a look at some of these http://www.shredtv.co.uk/service/search ... p;as=48487
and see if your tips align.
tips from a decent snowboarder/freestyle coach would be a lot more believable & credible than something you guys downloaded of ask.com or somewhere
maybe approach some of the freestyle coaches/academy's etc and see if they would work with you
or find some decent riders who can do the tricks and get filming...
as i said before i applaud the effort but still don't get the site, and tbh it lacks a little credibilty... you've got no recognized name but are trying to sell stickers, t shirts , advertising etc... you're still missing a niche' at the moment it reeks of a few ex uni friends who are "boarders" and thought it'd be a jape to build a website... you're not regular/frequent riders, you're not involved in the uk scene, riding, instructing, sponsoring....so what is the site bringing to the party?? |

Thanks for checking us out guys.
The tricks are written by us not copied and you will start to see how-to videos added. But you raise a valid point - they aren't worded brilliantly, some are better than others, but in general we have started to go over them and totally agree.
Currently there are two how-to videos which should help you see the direction we are heading in - Backflip and Side Manual, with more to come when we get time to go filming @ the dome.
Please don't forget we are new, and expanding on what we have all the time.
And in point of fact, I can personally do nearly every trick on the list - every surface trick, most airs and most rails, - and have video evidence (some of it is scrappy) for nearly all of it too. However, the MJ and JJ grinds are a little beyond me as is some of the pipe stuff (Alley oop is fine)  - so don't get too cheeky - although your points are inescapably valid.
Watch this space boys/girls

Haha well perhaps he can be swayed into throwing an MJ on a box for us so we can film it then annotate it then? That would be ideal as it is unlikely any of us will ever get to that level 
For now - appreciate any feedback you can give us on the how-to videos we do have - we want to improve - trust me.
As for regular riders - every friday down Hemel recently (didn't snowdome before as wasn't into tricks until this year) - but again valid point - up until now, I haven't been

i just clicked on your mj and jj section and the descriptions are completely the wrong way round mj being a michael jackson slide is on your toes and i'm pretty sure its impossible to jj with your knee's bent as its on your heels and like gravity comes in your way! people are going to hurt them selves if they follow them tips?!?
you need to proof read the whole site and having trick tips that work might make the site more success full too!
sorry if this has already been raised but i couldnt bring myself to read all the posts in this! haha |

Hello
Killing the scene!!
May as well have a Xfactor for ridding...there's nothing worse than seeing an instructor holding someone's hand well on a rail...Just not right..
But Hey Ho it's there money there wasting....
Peace

We have been making some steady improvements, (Ie. no more spelling mistakes :/) And we are now getting through putting together some instructional videos.
As you can probably guess our site thrives on the participation of our members and we are starting to get a few repeat offenders, however as I am sure Danish will quickly tell you, the site is no where near there yet so we could still use your honest constructive feedback. |

Hello all,
Hope you are all enjoying the season - apologies we have been a bit quiet recently. We have done some considerable work on the site - sure, more is still needed, but as we approach 11 months old, we are in better shape than before.
Sadly due to lots of other things going on for the team, we have been unable to dedicate as much time to the cause as we had hoped.
However, still really keen to hear your feedback, especially on here, as historically it has been the most brutal, but also honest, critique we have got, and really helps us to move things forward.
Feel free to reply or PM me if you have any suggestions.. that kind of thing. Thank you in advance for your input - it is vital to us
Happy riding all!
Sam |

just looked at the boadslide video's, you really need to be doing them on a side hit mate, ride on's lack credability, ok for learning initially, but you need to make that clear. Check out the S.Additiction video's at how they do it....
when you click on the boardslide tips, it makes no differential to frontside or backside, when I clicked on the video its a bit confusing to see the rider doing a ride on noseslide
your nosepress description also mentions lifting the nose, which would be pretty sick though |
