OK, next on the freebie list is a set of butt pads - brand new in their bag. They were given to me by Jason Lee, the inventor/owner of MBS Mountainboards - with the intention of using them for mountainboarding, but I’m told they’re fine for snowboarding as well.

They’re not the shorts type - they’re padded neoprene, fastened around the waist and thighs with elastic/velcro. Theoretically, I guess this would mean if you planned on hitting the park for a few hours, you could nip into the bathroom and put them on inside your boarding pants without having to take your boots off, then rip ‘em out when your done.

Anyway, I figure that after winning those Snowboard Addiction DVDs (and seeing what she did to win them!), cords is in line for a world of hurt this season - so she gets dibs on these if she wants them.

Otherwise, I’m happy for them to be passed around among whomever thinks they can make best use of them.

all yours, lanox. Thanks for thinking of me though, chucky.

I won’t be getting to ride much at all, this southern hemi season. Despite those stacks in the vid, I’ve never hurt myself badly enough to keep me off the snow for any days…I’m very careful about what I try and don’t try, while still trying to improve!

haha if only I’d just turned 20 and not 30 then that would definitely be my style….but my days on snow are too precious to me these days, to be doing anything much that risks missing out!

Is it a boy/Girl thing? At 30 caution was the last thing on my mind!

Nice one Chucky.

Girls the boots are still up for grabs. They are a great boot and really have minimal wear.

I’ll find a home for them once I get to the snow, not a random - plenty of BW lurkers there.

haha normally I would say no but in this case, maybe?!?! As weird as it may sound, I’m kinda keen on trying to have a kid sometime in the next few years, and I know my riding opportunities if/when that happens will be severely restricted and pretty different in nature…I look forward to and revel in every single day I get on snow and do NOT want to get an injury that means I might have to miss out on any of those days. It feels like these are the last days of my yoof, when I have no major responsibilities and I can’t bear the thought of taking it for granted! Does that make sense?

haha mmm yeah not gonna happen! Freddy’s parents are in Sweden (and his dad hates the snow with a passion)...my dad passed away nearly 9 years ago and my mum lives within 100m of her two sisters (the other two actually live across the road from each other) and isn’t gonna be moving any time soon! She’s not that far off 70 either, so I would not be keen to be wearing her out completely, looking after a baby!
