Two sites of interest

OK searching the net as I do I came across two great sites that might interest you! The first one I am going to talk about is Onboard Global Snowboarding which seems to be a social networking site for all of us crazy boarders out there. You can participate inthe forums post to your own blogs and basically do everything you do in social networking sites. Talk lots about whatever fancies you.

The second site is a little different, ThirtyTwo is a company. They sell gear they have a blog and a team. When I came across this site I was more interested in teh design but with some pokeing around it ended up as a site that I visit quite reguarly now.

So there are two sites I reacon you should check out.

Now Europe is boosting an early season so what does this mean for those of us that have booked our trips and hopeing that we aren't going to miss out. Well I believe that if you have booked for around the christmas time like I have you shouldn't have any problems. Quite frankly I think if anything the snow might even been better a little later on. That is what I am telling my self anyway.

Next years Chill and Destroy Tour will be held in Fellhorn, Germany. The new site isn't up yet but stay tuned cause thisis one you want to be in.

I have just bought a camcorder

I had been looking for some time and finally I settled on this JVC MG155 HDD camcorder off eBay for $419 AUD shipped. So now I just wait for it to arrive.

I went to the camera shop a few hours ago to have a look at it. I have to say it is a lot smaller then I had expected which is great.

Anyway just thought I would let you know about that.

Not long now

I thought I would move away from the usual post about gear and things like that just to let you know there is not long till my 2007/08 snowboarding trip.

With under 4 weeks now, (last time i checked 26 days) I have dusted of my snowboard and boots, made sure I have everything I need and have really started looking for a video camera.

Where are you guys going this year if anywhere?

It was just a short post for today.

Taste it

I can almost taste my end of year snowboarding trip to Wiesen. It is about 6 weeks away now and I can assure you that time is moving very slowly now.

Anyway the little villiage we are staying is just outside the majour tourism destination Davos. I memory serves me correctly it is about a 20 minute bus ride. Luckily my cousin own a holiday house in this village which we will be staying in.

Wiesen is also about a 10 minute bus ride to the nearest slope which will be our main destination due to is proximity.

We do have plans to do some traveling and maybe even get to some other mountains not in the area in which we are staying in.

Just thought I would give you a quick update about what we plan to do on our trip. There will be lots more to come don't you worry about that.
