The biggest collection of snowboard literature ever assembled in one bag is now on a newsstand near you, and it includes the most comprehensive gear test of snowboards on sale in the UK to date. And it's all online too at www.documentsnowboard.co.uk
Document is the sister mag to Fall-Line Skiing, in case you're wondering what a (mainly) skier is doing lurking in this area...

Really enkoyed the mag this month but still feel like there could be more resort info in there for holidaying boarders.
The gear guide has whet my whistle though.
fallliner, any chance of getting last month's issue FOC though?

We are currently uploading all the travel stuff so it'll be online in a big clump shortly.

fallliner, loved the mag this month. Don't need any new equipment so the gear pull out is dangerously tempting !!

hey there falliner -
any chance of mailing a copy of the mag? i'm in (the republic of) ireland and there's not a hope of getting a magazine out here on the west coast that doesn't cater for those with a penchant for red tractors.

rogg, drop janet@fall-line.co.uk an email with details - there's a back issue charge for postage to forrin parts and she'll have the details. You'll be delighted to hear that we nearly, nearly had a red tractor on the cover. Honestly.

Document is the best of all the mags I buy (DMS&S, Document, Onboard, Whitelines) although it's still not perfect.
Onboard is a bit too in your face with all the environmental things and the design is crazy – it's more of a coffee table/status symbol magazine, that says "I'm a tree hugger and I'm going to make you feel guilty for ruining my planet"."
Whitelines has some amazing photography and it still has some close-to-home stuff in it (the piece last year about the Grand Massiff was good), although it's again a coffee table mag. Good design though.
DMS&S. Bought the latest issue and I liked the piece about finding the holiday to suit your needs, even if it blatantly was an 8-page filler. I also liked Henry Deuce's piece about holidaying as a couple, but it's again, a blatant promotion for Warren Smith academies. I had to laugh when I read the bit about buying abroad. There was some kind of comment like "so-and-so loved their holiday in Switzerland so much, they decided to buy a condo there for £xxxxxx!" - typical snobbish look at winter sports and so little for boarders. I only buy it out of habit. There's no good product testing in there and more often than not, 90% is dedicated to skiing and not boarding. remind me again why I spent £3.70 on it?
I like Document as it's a bit of a 'let's have a laugh' magazine. Good photography and I like the way it's never trying to say "if you're poor you won't belong in this game". More, more , more though – it needs more pages to keep us going through the month!!

Woah - sorry folks, been in the World of Office. And someone's being nice, too.cookie monster, the freebies only come with a dd subscription. i guess you can guess the reason - we want ot keep folk subscribing for as long as possible and dd is the way to do it. But we are looking at giving out more freebies on an annual basis to say 'thanks for sticking with us'.
Specialman, cheers for that analysis - I'm impressed with the vast reading matter collection. We suspect that a lot of our readers get all sorts of different mags. One I like is Snowboard Canada.
Pages-wise, keep an eye out for issue 50... The plan is to keep you going all summer...
The plan for Document is to be totally relevant to UK riders. Yes, there's more we need to do so email me or editor Rachel at richard@fall-line.co.uk or rachel@documentsnowboard.co.uk with your thoughts. They are most, most welcome. No, really.

fallliner, just filled in my DD instruction for Doc Sbd. Really like the mag, I always think there could be more pages though!

I have been sent a copy of Document (iisue 46) in error (as I'm a Fall Line subscriber). If anyone wants a free copy, I'll happily post to the first person who PMs me. Then you can see what all the fuss is about, and subscribe. As a subscriber to the two planked version, I can't recommend it highly enough.
