Beyond beginner board?
I live over in Bradford, not too far from Xscape, but haven't been over yet.
Is it good, wats the crowds like, etc.

I've now been boarding for about a month, probably about 20 hours in
total,
mainly on indoor 'real' snow (www.xscape.co.uk). A couple of weeks ago I
bought my own board, a K2 'special' ('the offspring' album cover);
bindings
(burton CFX), and boots (VANS Daniel Franke).
I've been trying to get my turns to carve rather than slip, so far with
only
limited success; then today, I borrowed another board, not an overly
expensive one, a Salomon. I found my turns to be much more presise. My own
board now seems to just kinda bounce around when turning at any speed.
So I'm after some advice/comments, I'm sure that with limited experience
my
tehnical
abilities are still developing, but I think I may well have outgrown this
board. So, what should I be looking for, cost is not a major issue but
obviously I don't wanna just buy a board and find it's no beter than the
one
I have. Equally, going out and buying the most expensive pro board is
probably not what I need to do at the moment.
The majority of what I'm doing is indoor snow, I live 10 mins from xscape
at
Castleford.
Any ideas?
