Remember SCUK members get an additional 10% off accommodation at Dragon Lodge all summer and winter even after any current offers. www.dragonlodge.com  The special SCUK membership discount from Maverix last winter was a great bonus for those riders taking out an annual SCUK Membership. In response to the success of the voucher and the continued support of Maverix by SCUK, we've decided to launch a similar scheme to encourage your spring / summer training. The focus is on rider development. Quite often riders will do a little bit of training in the winter then often neglect their skills during the spring and summer. This new voucher will provide riders with a one off 30% discount* for courses running between 1st April and 30th September in 2013 or 2014. That way riders can be more fully prepared and stoked for the winter. The new voucher will be included with every SCUK Membership pack we ship. In fact, the last batch already included the voucher. SCUK Members will still benefit from a 5% UK discount with Maverix at other times. www.maverix.org *Course should be adults only and not already discounted. You'll need to provide your discount voucher and SCUK Membership card at the course you're attending, else full course fees will be charged. One place per SCUK membership.

Thanks to The Snow Centre, Maverix, Definition who we couldn't do it without. Thanks to all our sponsors and demo partners on the day - see below. Thanks to my main men - Rob, Pocket, Charlie, Todd and Spencer. Thanks to everybody for coming!  The Jam Session was very serious - Dave, '68 Snurfer, Dunx and Rob See you all again next year, if not before.                          www.snowboardclub.co.uk/springbash With all day passes now sold out and only morning, afternoon and evening passes left, the SCUK Spring Bash is looking like it will set more records at The Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead. The event is all about one thing for us and that's helping you find your freestyle mojo. We don't make any charge for the event, because this is the sort of event that we should simply "just run". For those looking for a spot of coaching, well those sessions are just about full too... with one strange anomaly and that's the 9.30am Box session with Definition. Whilst the majority of the other sessions are either full or approaching capacity, this session has just one person booked on. Fancy it? Let me know quick as I'm closing reservations at 6pm tonight! Or take your chances and turn up early. We will be making a few more passes available on the day by increasing some of the sessions from 6 people up to 8 people, just so a few more people can get some coaching.
www.snowboardclub.co.uk/springbash  The SCUK Swag Chest is not big enough and this lot doesn't include the half-dozen sponsors who are taking prizes direct to the slope tomorrow! As we'd hoped, more of the park will be available from 9am so make sure you get to Hemel early - there's still some early coaching sessions available too. The Big Kicker will be closed for the first part of the morning, just to make sure it lasts in to the evening jam session. There will also be rolling closures of other features throughout the day, just to make sure we can keep the park in tip-top shape. Hemel will be dropping in two more rails for the afternoon session and these are likely to be more advanced features. Day passes are almost sold out, so please pre-book so you don't miss out! There's also morning, afternoon and evening passes available. All at a tasty discount for SCUK Members. Don't forget your SCUK Membership cards on the day for the slope discount and cheap coaching sessions. www.snowboardclub.co.uk/springbash Jam Session Sponsors The Snow Centre are looking forward to it and have cancelled all their normal recreation passes on the day to make this a freestyle-only event. We're hoping that means we'll get more of the park set up the night before and also squeeze in a few more hits. We may have a slightly revised park plan for you early next week. Half the coaching sessions have now been reserved, but there's still over 120 places available from Maverix and Definition in the morning and afternoon on the slope, kickers and boxes. £5 for an hour of top rate coaching... What's not to like? The prizes continue to turn up at the door for the evening jam session. We like to leave them unopened until nearer the time, but there's some bloody big boxes! The evening jam session is looking on and if you turn up, show off a bit an get down the hit we're at, you're pretty much guaranteed to walk away with something. We also hope to reveal the new SCUK Box on the day. If only we'd thought to get the vinyls in black to go on the new white box instead of white! Doh... brain engage. Rewind. We'll try that one again later in the week. The SCUK Spring Bash 2013. A day unashamedly aimed at freestyle punters!  Video by Big Blue Multimedia. Here are the slope plans for the SCUK Spring Bash a week on Saturday. We've worked closely with the park team to come up with a park with spaced out hits during the morning with the gradual addition of more features as the lesson slope becomes available and building towards something a bit more interesting as the night time jam approaches.    You can now reserve your coaching sessions with Maverix and/or Definition for The SCUK Spring Bash on Saturday 20th April at The Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead. We have 240 coaching sessions available and you can reserve any four sessions in advance. The only limitation is that you can reserve no more than two sessions in the morning and no more than two sessions in the afternoon. This is to give everybody who comes a chance of getting on sessions even if they fail to reserve any in advance. Not long now! www.snowboardclub.co.uk/springbash  What a great season it's been so far, and recent snowfall throughout March continued to provide fresh powder and great piste conditions, while topping up and already impressive snow coverage that will mean excellent skiing & snowboarding for the rest of the season. The Espace Killy area covering Tignes and Val d'Isere is open right up to the 5th of May, and the Tignes glacier is even open a week later until May 11th, so there's over a month left to get on the slopes - the Dragon Lodge is open right 'till the end, and there's deals & special offers galore on offer: - 25% off all remaining weeks at the lodge - 1/2 board weeks stays from £199 - shorts stay, long weekend + B&B only deals - 20% off weekly lift pass prices - 30% off equipment hire - Free demos of next seasons Endeavor snowboards Add to that cheaper flight and travel deals, plus quieter slopes and it all adds up to being the perfect time for a snow-fix trip before the end of the season. For more info, prices and booking see www.dragonlodge.com or email john@dragonlodge.com SCUK members get a further 10% discount on the above deal too :) View SCUK discount offer here.

All well as coaching, an all day park, great session passes and a relaxed evening jam session, we have something new this year for the SCUK Spring Bash on 20th April at Hemel... kit demos. We've asked and they have responded! Amplid are hitting the UK hard this year and will have some snowboards for you to try out. There will also be Northwave boots and Drake snowboards and bindings to demo. Ride Snowboards and Volkl Snowboards will turn up with sticks galore. Then we have Capita Snowboards and UNION Bindings, which will both be available to demo. To top it all off, the bearded boys from Butta will have their waxing tent with them and will be offering free hot waxing out on the slope.Here's the current list of sponsors lined up for the evening jam session at the SCUK Spring Bash on 20th April at Hemel. We have so much gear that, as usual, if you stick your face on a rail, box or kicker in front of a judge (and we use the term loosely), you'll probably walk away with something on the night. Here at SCUK we want everybody riding more often, enjoying snowboarding and loving the benefits of SCUK Membership all year round. To us, that means a summer of freestyle in the UK. If you can already ride, but have "the fear" of those rails, boxes and jumps, then the fourth Spring Bash is just for you. www.snowboardclub.co.uk/events-springbash13.html  The lovely guys over at XtremeHire.co.uk are offering a sweet 10% off to SCUK members.About XtremeHire.co.uk : Xtremehire give you the opportunity to use the cutting edge GoPro cameras without having the expense of buying one.

As you probably know, The SCUKers entered a team in this year's Snow-Camp Apline Challenge, which ran just before the SCUK Winter Bash in Morzine back in January. The team consisted of SCUK Editor Duncan Worrell, Rob Carey, Dave Oldacre and Charlie Eddington. Whilst we felt a little robbed of a podium place due to some mixed messages with the "rules", it was without a doubt a great challenge and the hardest any of us have ever snowboarded in our lives. All credit to the winners and everybody who entered and raised money for this great charity. Up in the dark, first on the first lift up and back at dusk, over eight hours riding a day, drinking and eating protein bars on the lifts and breaking only twice for a pee. It was a full on two days snowboarding and a night hike in snow shoes, which stole most of my heel in a blister the size and shape of a minstrel! We finished 4th, making all 15 check points and snowboarding over 200km in the process. To put that in perspective, your average snowboarder covers between 20-25km per day - we were doing four times that. The team raised £2384 for Snow-Camp, were the first placed snowboard team and the first team to break the 100kph speed barrier. A big thank you to everbody who sponsored us and to Dan and his team at Snow-Camp for the organisation. If you love to ride hard and fast (baby) and don't mind a spot of fund raising, we'd highly recommend you give it a go next year. Hopefully we'll give it another go one year when we've recovered! www.snow-camp.org.uk https://www.justgiving.com/teams/theSCUKers  The lovely guys over at JamHill are offering a sweet 15% off to SCUK members.About JamHill : JamHill offer a diverse range of active lifestyle accessories for the style concious.
