I love what you guys do and love reading/seeing where each adventure takes you! My local slope is the Gorm too, and was just wondering where about you’re from, im in the Elgin area. Im converting from ski’s to board this winter, and wondering if there’s any tips you could give me, i’d greatly appreciate it!
Hey man, thanks a lot really appreciate the support! Aw sick! We live in Boat of Garten, the village next to Aviemore it always helps when your that close to hill! Ha ha nice one dude, yeah if you have skied vefore then you should be fairly used to travelling on the snow at speed which helps a lot when your getting started. The main problem with converting from skis to a board is that many people have their shoulders square to the slope as if they were skiing. Try to keep your shoulders in line with your board the majority of the time, it will help with the progression of your technique/edge control. Apart from that have fun and enjoy your shredding, control will come with time, i guess!
hopefully see you up there! I you do see us, give us a shout and we can give you a hand. Thanks again!
I’ve played golf in Boat of Garten, nice wee place
Will definitely be up there this season, hopefully as often as I can, just keep your fans posted on what gear you guys will be rocking so we can notice you, would love to have a wee shred with you! Many thanks for your help
