Whats up, I'm from England but living in June Lake, near Mammoth, Ca for the winter. I'm helping to film for a British snowboarding movie called 'Hungerpain'. www.hungerpain.co.uk- visit the site for more info and you can download a teaser from www.hungerpain.co.uk/teaser/images/teaser.mov

Hi Chris,

I'm from the England (Hampshire). Nice to see a few more people join the board from the UK.

Its snowing here at the moment, No need to go outside the UK for snowboarding ;-)

Cool website! Some nice moves and shots in your teaser!

Cheers,

Hey Ed

I work full time as a Broadcast support engineer, part-time I make various videos. Currently in the middle of editing a Trampoling video, and a dance event video.

Where in England do you live in the Summer/Spring monthes?

All the best,

Well I'm from Hertford, but I start uni in Southampton in October. Do you get away to snowboard much or you ride dryslope indoor?

Hi Chris,

I don't really ski or snowboard... I have done dryslope skiing at Calshot before and would love to do it again!

All the best,

Hi fellas,

A bit late to the party but was just looking to see if there where any posts from Southampton. I'm a composer by trade but do bits and pieces of video too- weddings, small corporates and charities etc. just to keep my hand in - more of a hobby in many ways, I just enjoy playing with technology.

I live just down the road from the University so don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm also going on my first skiing trip in February and fully expect to come back on crutches - perhaps one of you could bring some grapes into the hospital for me :-)

Cheers

Colin

I started skiing a year ago, since then been twice and going again in december to Andorra. I make a number of trips a year to Milton Keynes indoor snowdome - well worth the trip.

Hey Ed,

We were looking into the snodome for perhaps a trip next month. We have had a couple of lessons on the dry slopes and have some friends that ski regularly who might be able to keep us upright!

Hey Colin,

You'll be fine. The snodome is excellent, there are lots of things to do there besides skiing - shopping, eating out, climbing wall, airfix... shopping... you can make a whole day out of it.

The only thing I would say is that you need to be competed at using a poma lift, linking turns and controlling your speed if you plan on doing the free practise. Otherwise I would suggest do an hours learn to ski lesson. These all need to be booked in advance.

You'll enjoy it
