Anyone on here do it or done it before? Going to Chill Factor in Manchester next week for an introductory lesson and hoping to get into doing it on a regular basis. Other than a board and clothing, is there anything else i need to consider buying, or is it best just hiring stuff to start with?? |

My main tip would be to put the snowboard down and pick up some skis. Pr1ck with a stick > gay on a tray. |
