Spot check: Leichhardt Park with A Loose Alliance.

Avatar

Most of the pro teams edits only show the big parks (and like us,most snowboarders are just as interested in stuff they can actually hit), quite a few people on BW have been asking what the intermediate parks are like this year, so we took a few quick laps through the intermediate park at Perisher, Australia to show you (watch in HD).

Park Review: 3/5 stars

Pros: A lot of snow for early season and very well groomed.

Cons: As always the long turn around time and the one t-bar servicing the park…...the actual park takes up about 1/8th of the run. There seems to be enough snow add to another 3 jumps in the jump line further down.

yeah that is our mate Danger Mouse, otherwise known as Duane Byrnes. He is a freak! If you look at the Loose alliance youtube page, you can see his sponsor me vid from a few years ago, which was amazing considering it was after only his 2nd season of riding.

I was thinking about sending you a message about putting a BW logo on it as well but wasn’t sure it was up to scratch. wanted to film a whole lot more that day but another mate blew his knee and after lunch was a right off.

Duane was riding for me that day. I’ve got him keen to sign up to Boardworld this year. Last year he actually landed some cool flying squirrels but didn’t get signed up…silly bastard.

Thanks! I had the idea for a while but have never really done it properly. Hopefully I can get one done in all the NSW parks…..would be good to see the VIC ones done! how the hell did you know I posted the vid up on vimeo before I even know it had uploaded? hahah

either he hadn’t watched the clip as of yet, or like me, he saw the off the toes front 3 and paused it and went “f*ck yeh” and wanted to know who it was.

will be better on ce they install the boxes/rails further down the line at Leichardt.
Those down boxes/rails were my fav (after the jumps of course, more of a booter guy then rails)

Haha. I did watch the whole thing. Didn’t take note of the credits. I just assumed it was music credits. My bad. teacherboy

yeh I agree. I think they could have more jumps up further down the line already as well. I’d quite happily hit the jump line all day and not go near the rails hahah
