I don't like to simply pimp other people's videos, but in some cases I like to make exceptions :) First up is young Jamie Nicholls, a UK shredder who grew up riding at Halifax, now making his way around the international stage. I like to see Jamie progressing. I remember the first time I saw him snowboarding, at Castleford, before I knew who he was. I said something like "man, that kid is killing it. He's class. He's gotta be something like 12 years old?"
I nice guy too. Anyhow, I'm sure most readers from the UK are well aware of Jamie... here's a couple of runs from the recent Burton European Open.
Next up is Jenny Jones, who has recently won X-Games Gold. I think it's great that Jenny does so well with snowboarding; I also like the fact that although women's snowboarding is often viewed as being over-shadowed by mens, Britain's most successful shredder is a girl :) That's got nothing to do with a lack of respect for the male snowboarders we've got, but more that I think it provides us with a well-balanced view of professional snowboarders.
Here's her winning run from the X-Games (you can read about it here):

Very very cool, the scenary, the player's performance, fantastic!
I'm so eager to learn snowboarding now.
Hey thanks,
their riding certainly is cool :) And if you're not snowboarding yet, you're lucky, because you've got the initial excitement to look forward to.
Having said that, I think I still get excited as much as I did the first time I tried snowboarding!
