Now, what a mad week. I tell ya, Snowboarders really know how to have it. Late Saturday night I got back from the Ski & Snowboard Brits in Laax, Switzerland. I was out there to edit films for all 4 of the Snowboard comps (which ya can see below), I’d start editing at 7pm and be done asap, then out to the parties for a couple of OJ’s. I really was on them most of the week as I’ve never coughed so much in my life and wanted the vitamins. Some class DJ’s on, including Bonobo, DJ Vadim, Matt Smooth…. Apart from that it was all about getting in as much Snowboard time as possible. Hung around in the Park with my mate, Sam Nelson who in between spinning the kickers was tutoring me on how not to nail myself.
I also had a blast at my first Snowboard event, The Red Bull Home Run, which I’m writing about for my next issue’s (#88) ‘Hand In Glove’ column. Was exhilarating is all I’ll say for now.
