How hard is it to be civil, Chump? Oh the irony in that sentence! Good, 'ey? Not really. Well, one bad turn deserves another. |

Ok, I'll take it straight.
Snowboarding's a sport which has a problem. People are encouraged to buy snowboards which they've never ridden, and to make their choice based on consumer concepts such as "brand", "hippness", "best" etc. This is particularly problematic for a sport where it's crucial that board and rider are well matched. The result is ultimately bad for the sport: most snowboarders are unable to even turn their boards and rapidly become disillusioned with something which offers so much in terms of "image" and yet delivers so little in terms of on-snow experience. |

Phil, really, you don't half exaggerate. something which offers so much in terms of "image" and yet delivers so little in terms of on-snow experience. Yeah, the image thing can be a problem, but that's marketing all over and unfortunately not limited to snowboarding. - Dave. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow - Securing your e-mail The Snowboard FAQ lives here - http://rssFAQ.org/ |

Phil, really, you don't half exaggerate. I'll put a number on it - I'd say 99% of snowboarders can't link carved turns, and half can barely link skidded turns. Neil |
