On Saturday 9th July, the very first Billabong All For One Comp was held at The Snow Centre in Hemel. The event served many purposes, Two Seasons sponsored rider Jake Terry’s 13th Birthday party, charity fundraising and generally fun times – a demo and competition.

The first half of the day was for progression and lessons, provided by Definition and Grounded. The evening session saw the Billabong All For One comp split into three specific comps – kicker, Billabong rail and most outstanding rider. I watched most of the evening session (whilst waiting for birthday cake) and the standard was high, riders came from far and wide. There were the Tamworth regulars along with Belgian and Dutch riders who were slaying all the features of the set up. The Billabong feature rail got a lot of love and UK superstar Jamie Nichols even turned up!

After the session it was up into the bar for the prize giving, raffle and finally some cake! Prizes on the night had been provided very generously by Billabong, Two Seasons, Salomon, Bonfire, K2, Icon, Skullcandy, Flow, Nitro, Giro, Demon, Project 77, The Snow Centre, DC, Air Hole, Moog Royale, Tall Tees, Adio, NXTZ, Amplify, Westbeach,Burton, Whitelines, SCUK. The night managed to raise £504.00 for the MS Trust and Snow Camp.

Tweeeek it Jake!

The highlight for me was being able to present Jake with his Birthday present from myself and his UK sponsor Two Seasons, we got him a Nixon Newton watch, no expense spared, apart from on the wrapping paper which was a Two Seasons carrier bag (I was in a rush, gimme a break! ). For your information the cake was also great!

There will be a Slingshot wakeboard Demo Day and Ladies Morning at WakeMK this Sunday, the 17th October.  The day starts at 10am for anyone and everyone! There will be coaching for the ladies from 10-1pm, including double-ups with Lex Balladon and Sarah Kingdom.  The Slingshot Team will be there to talk about the 2011 boards/bindings and riding throughout the day.  There might even be a sneaky peak at some of the 2011 kit, eeeks!

As usual, it wouldn’t be a ladies morning without some prizes up for grabs!  So we have gift vouchers from Two Seasons, Nalu Beads, a goodie bag from Wide-A-Wake and something from Slingshot as well.

Go get yer’ boots on because it’s that time of year again. We’ve teamed up with Burton to offer you the chance to demo their Winter 2010 Snowboard range at the Snowdome in Tamworth (and believe us, that’s something you want to do). This year’s collection includes a few new additions, a lot of people have doubtless got their eye on the Sherlock with it’s fancy Flying V rocker shape.

All you need to do to take part is show up at Tamworth Snowdome after 8pm on September 14th and buy yourself a lift pass. Gear demos will of course be free, but bring your driver’s license or passport as ID may be required. More info at Burton’s Demo Tour Site
