Boro Boardin' Vids

Mentioned these in another post, so I'll try and post the links to some great footage we got up on the Yastabrets runs a few years back ...

In Part 1, the Gondola was only going to the mid-station, so we got off and hiked up for an hour. Gets better as it goes on as for the first few metres I was still a bit stiff from the walk up!

Thanks to Bobby Turbo for being the best cameraman in the world, hope he comes back from the States soon, even though you can hear him shouting at me a lot in these!

Cool

Having skied (ok bladed) those runs - it amazes me how the camera levels the slopes out . . bummer - and I prefer the kilted look! Sorry. Very Happy

Nice clips on You Tube. How easy is snowboarding. I can ski fairly well. Is it easy to pick up?

I hope the kilted footage surfaces at some point, Steve C filmed the whole ski-a-thong for skidvd, so Banknote must have it somewhere

I'd say boarding was harder at the start but gets easier after a few lessons. There's no real relation to skiing, other than where you do it ... ok, it's all about weight distribution and balance, but going sideways. In saying that I think I picked it up quicker as I had a skiing background.
