Any ideas as to when we can put our names down for stuff?


Please read previous posts on the subject Rolling Eyes

There really is no rush is there. Only 6 people have pre-booked with Hemel. Everybody will know what slots are available at the same time as anybody else. As long as it's a few weeks in advance that should do most people. The longer the gap between the event and coaching booking, the more hassle I get as people change their minds, say they can't come, want to swap things around, start asking about what ifs, etc. The easiest thing for me to say is "booking on the day" really.

Is there a slot for those who are quite novice riders and therefore likely to be pretty comical on the freestyle stuff?!?! Dazed

Yes, everything from ollies and flatland tricks upwards. This event is specifically for people who are freestyle beginners and may never have left the ground before (on purpose).

This seems very reasonable. I will defo be booking one morning and one afternoon each with either def and mav as I want to get a feel for each company for future reference whilst also getting a varied experience on the day.

It wud reli not be worth doing as many coaching sessions as u can. Especially if ur beginner. Firstly fatigue? Also if u have been coached some technique, then u will wanna practice ur new skills and refine them in ur own time. U dnt wann spend a whole day learning new stuff as I wud imagin u won't take it all in and as dunx said, decide against ur later sessions to just shred.

This event seems to be shaping up nicely tho an if it goes to plan I wil be thrilled. Wikis that people r actually putting stuff like this on here in the uk. Being a boobie to the scene I didn't realise how dedicated companies like scuk reli r.

See u all there. I'm off to l2a tonight so as long as there's still snow there will be sick.

Last year I found one session in the morning and one in the afternoon was plenty - any more and I wouldn't have lasted the night. (But I am an old git)
And those that did 3-4 sessions during the day looked proper done-in by their last session. So there should be plenty of sessions to go around - don't panic!

This sounds absolutely awesome - am pretty gutted, as gotta go to a mates wedding in Edinburgh that weekend Sad

Does the "Summer bash" have a similar sort of lesson type thing happening, or is this only for the spring one?

Naa, the summer bash is traditionally about being very tired and trying to snowboard and getting inebriated.

Booking - last year is was a complete nightmare as we let too many people reserve too many things in advance, some turned up, some buggered off early, some people couldn't get what they wanted... and then we had lots of people hanging around trying to see whether spots were available and also changed the focus of slots last minute due to demand. Basically, very stressful for me all day 9am to 5pm.

Not sure about this year. How about you can reserve 1 morning session, 1 afternoon session and then take up the spare places as they become available. That means the earlier you turn up, the more freestyle you can probably do and the more you'll get out of the day pass.



Did people pay in advance last year? Maybe that would discourage people flippantly booking things.

I don't think it was flippant booking, just not appreciating what was possible.

Are many folks going for the full day/evening or just the day or just the evening?

I'm undecided whether to come up for the full day and evening or just the evening....

daft question, do you need to bring your own board? - I know they have rentals but what do most people do at these bash's!

i need to book my lift pass yet, but will be booking for the whole day (including evening) and taking it at a leisurely pace, don't want to knacker myself out before the freestyle session.
