Friday is time to Project.

Published on: 7th September, 2010

Bank holiday weekend wasn’t just reserved for those folk down in Englandshire to enjoy some fancy park and get their shred on. Up at SNO!zone Braehead, they had also been busy putting in the time for another edition of Project Friday, this time with a bit of a twist.
Project Friday this month was in for [...]

TSA’s got Indoor Game!

Published on: 2nd September, 2010

TSA’s Indoor winter games gave us a new style of snowboard event over the bank holiday weekend, that we hope is here to stay.
Spawned from the magical mind powers of Chris Chatt – the ‘Games offered a true alternative to the traditional snowboarding event.
The sports day style line up of events attracted teams from all [...]

FBBBvegas.

Published on: 31st August, 2010

August Bank holiday Friday is notorious for traffic jams, rain, festivals and that extra day off work in the middle of the summer.
It isn’t that well-known for attracting that many folk to the freezers for a ride, especially when you have to travel across half the country for the pleasure.
Funnily enough though, that’s exactly what [...]

2 Hips. No Squares.

Published on: 26th August, 2010

Saturday the 21st of Augsut was a busy day for us at FoTP.
Clocking up a bunch of miles in the car, getting out to the Westbeach Snowflex Series at Halifax,and then back to MK in the evening for our own night – 2 Hip to Be Square – was always going to be a challenge, [...]

Halifax goes Big!

Published on: 24th August, 2010

Halifax is one windy place.
We know this because we stood in the huff and puff weather all day Saturday to witness another dose of cream cake snowboarding on the infamous Halifax bristle.
Halifax has undoubtedly been the birthplace of some of the UK’s finest snowboarders, and the first leg of this year’s tour was another [...]

Braehead Projects.

Published on: 10th August, 2010

It may be the summer, but there is still plenty of shred going on around the country for riders to get involved with – we are pretty fortunate to be able to ride 364 days of the year in the UK.
The theme night is definitely one format that has become more popular over recent months, [...]

FBBB drops some colour on MK.

Published on: 4th August, 2010

Snowboarding indoors can get a bit samey.
Featureless freezer walls, those nasty lights and the cold dry air isn’t the most inviting atmosphere for riders as they religiously turn up for a night session.
It’s not something that can easily be changed either – they can’t really plant trees in one of these huge halls or open [...]

Sequence This.

Published on: 3rd August, 2010

These Parkstrife nights at Castleford just don’t quit.
With another Friday night and a slope full of features lovingly crafted out of some of the best pseudo-snow in the country, plenty of riders turned up for more good times on the CASvegas hill and CASrock.
Compared to past nights that we have been getting used to at [...]

The KPS hits Glasgow.

Published on: 7th July, 2010

For the last few summers, SNO!zone Glasgow has been pushing the boundaries and winning awards for their efforts up in Scotland, especially at one event – The Kelvingrove Session.
Take a few hundred tonnes of snow, some hardworking shapers and selection of Scotlands finest rippers, and you end up with arguably the best, if not the [...]

MK goes Big?

Published on: 22nd June, 2010

We don’t get decent big air comps often in the UK, as most of the time, we seemingly don’t have the space or time to set on up. They take quite a bit of planning, and time especially on the day.
As a nation, we’ve got some really hot big air riders, Ben Kilner is pretty [...]
