Alex CHUMPY Pullin Goes SplitBoarding In Oz

Alex “Chumpy” Pullin has been releasing a few really interesting clips on his website of late, documenting his 2011 Australian winter.

In the first clip, having recently joined the North Face team with fellow Olympian Damon Hayler, the two of them set off on a split boarding adventure to Blue Lake out the back of Charlottes Pass. Chumpy makes his own splitboard taking a ban saw to his snowboard and cutting it in two. Pretty interesting look at camping out back.

The second clip gives you an inside look at what goes on as a member of the national snowboard cross team and the training they endure. With a specially designed mock course at Perisher the team goes through the motions of getting out of the gates and into the lead as quickly as possible.

According to his site he is sponsored by Apex Snowboards. I know nothing about them
