Fin Jacobs dun dun dun....

One day Fin will fly onto the airbag on a board :)

Fin Jacobs is a gnarly awesome skateboarder but he ski's so on speaking to a gnarly snowboarder a snowboard lesson was arranged. To be honest I don't know who was more excited about it and as was predicted Fin kicked ass and did awesome. He was stoked, Natalie was stoked, everyone was stoked (well except the skiiers!!) and he's coming back for more :) Has Fin seen the light? can he be turned into a gnarly snowboarder? I think it's possible oh for sure it is and Fin has offered to give Natalie skateboard lessons stoked. 

Wed 29th September....

Well what can I say really, Wednesday was set to be a busy rad day at the slope with lot's going on, what happens.... we all awake to the worst wind and rain we have had in a while, boo to you weather gods!! We don't mind the rain so much as it makes the slope nice and fast but it's the wind, oh don't get me started on the wind.


We saw RGU and Aberdeen Universities in for their annual meet and greet, racking up new members for their snowsports clubs with some ski and snowboard taster sessions being ran and an open session for those who already have the skillz to come down and shred. The weather didn't seem to put a dampener on their spirits and considering the conditions a pretty good turn out was had. Let's hope to see the students back as a regular appearance at the slope.


Following the day time antics of the students the night was for the Burton and Forum board test, unfortunately we had a poor turn out and I'm going to put this down to the weather putting people off the bunch of wuss's as by 7 o'clock the wind had died down and the conditions were pretty good. 

Simon was down from Boarderline helping out the rep guy from Burton, with a steady flow of people testing out the boards and bindings on offer. Andy Duthie was the most stoked on testing out Burtons boards and was killing it it was non stop for him he had that adrenaline running through him all night and doing the cleanest 5 we've seen him do on return to the slope then thought why not I'll go for 7's and came pretty close on some and a front flip, wowzers.

Nicol, Chris Mahony, Emmet and Natalie were there representing the Boarderline snow team with Ben Kinnear still away and Barry P down in Glasgow doing his level 1 ski instructor course, they were both missed.


Overall all despite the turn out and the weather a pretty rad session was had, Fin and Keilan Bremner killing it and all the others doing some sick moves while testing out the boards and bindings, let's hope they come back next year.

Andy Duthie....

Andy Duthie has moved back to the Deen working in local board store Boarderline (head there for all your boarding needs, DO IT). He has been loving riding at the mat again and can't seem to get enough of it. A regular feature at the slope once again. No ones more stoked on this than Nicol Paton who has been riding more than ever now too, like Duthies lit a fire up his ass to bust out his sick board skills once again and learn some new ones too, stoked to see this.
