Bulgaria Ski discussion board

No don't, stop it !!!!!! im sorry.....
I was going to reply with something very cutting regarding boarders, but i've stopped myself....
`what do i need to board ??'
Im aching to..... i mustn't....... help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, a helmet is a must, yes, you will look a goon, even better if you get full armour, to enjoy the freedom of boarding, wrist protectors, spine plate, lower spine protection, rib and hip panels, knee and elbow pads.... is this starting to sound fun ???? is there a trend being set here ????

Of course, the obligatory baggy trousers with crutch near knees, the oversize jacket (to cover armour), massive gauntlet style gloves, v expensive goggles (Smith, Vaurnet, etc)... accepting that all the gear must at least carry a `Burton' label, other brands more exclusive better accepted....
The growing of dreadlocks is mandatory now, with the added bonus of being able to thread them through your helmet, for an overall look

There, decent advice.... and not a hint of sarcasm... Im proud of myself hehehehehe

If all you are plannin on doin is riding up and down hills I think you really only need some impact shorts. If you are learning you will fall on your bum quite a bit sothey are wl worth the investment.

I have wrist guards also and don't wear a helmet although I am considering it this year. Spine protection and body armour would be good if you start doing some free style but I would imagine that is unlikley if it's your first time.

You I used to ski and last year was my first time boarding and it is sooooooooo much more fun.

Me and my gf went to borovets last year about the same time, first time boarders too and had the best week of our lives! We only wore knee pads in terms of armour and both regretted not wearing padded shorts/arse protectors as we had some pretty nasty falls and both had sore coccyx's for monhts after! I def reccommend the shorts. We didnt wear helmets, some were but tended to be the better boarders who were flying past us! Try the night skiing, we did on our last day and it was awesome, the slopes are dead so you learn much faster and are more confident! Check out the bar crawl while your there its was a blast. Enjoy!!
