#1 Topic: Thanks all for another great Bash...

Posted 20 January 2017 - 12:16am on Snowboard Club UK

Just as the title says:

Thanks to all of you crazy SCUKers that went for making this years Winter Bash such an amazing, memorable and thoroughly enjoyable time.

Special thanks of course to Dunx et all at Wasteland for organizing the trip, and Jamie and Morgan of the Loop/Brasero bars for the fine food and drink (the pork belly was a particular favorite of the meal options).

Highlights: learning to Euro-carve properly on our 'off-piste/performance' day with Keith Wood of Lift Ticket Ltd; endless powder laps around the one lift that was open when the wind closed everything else (and few others went out); and riding virgin powder at the end of the week on a very quiet change-over day (it really does pay to stay the extra Saturday!)

Lows: catching a toe-edge and scorpioning head/chest first into the ground at speed (again on the off-piste/performance day) and the resulting 15 minute headache. Teach me to speed-check in future!

Looking forward to doing all of it and more with you all again next year!

Yep it was great fun! Thanks Dunx for organising. It was lovely catching up with old SCUKers and meeting some new ones too.

Just an update, WB17 - day 2: ACL snapped, now almost 7 months on and I'm almost 7 weeks post Op having had the ACL reconstructed, I'm doing well but the downside is its going to be at least 6 months before i can get on a snowboard and more realistically 9 months before i can get out on a mountain.
So I'm well pissed off that I won't be able to join you guys at WB18!
Bummer.

With a big weather front on the horizon, it was hoped that it would only affect one day of competition, but the early arrival of the wind shortened today’s Picture Big Air British Championship to one breezy run. Battling the elements and coming out on top were 2018 champions Billy Cockrell and Mia Brookes. A cloudy morning welcomed riders on the Crap Sogn Gion, but as they cleared it looked

Olympians and Junior World Champions have graced the ski cross podium in recent year at The BRITS but it was a host of teenagers which took centre stage today in an event which rewarded raw speed over cunning and tactics.

Day one of competition at The BRITS saw the UK’s finest amongst the monoliths of Laax’s pro line kickers, throwing their best moves for arguably the purest event in freeski - Big Air.
