Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

jdizzle, you'll love it. Tam is a great place but get extra padding on your knees and bum because the slope is rock-hard.

Don't want to be a party pooper though, but my mate did the day course and even though he could string his turns together and stop with a modicum of control, he didn't pass. Only a few out of the 14 or so in the course 'passed' even though he said they got nothing to show for it.

Just enjoy it and keep your eyes of the rails and kickers - they draw you in and once your on, you'll be hooked!! Smile

Doesn't matter if you "pass" or "Fail" it's better than wasting the first few days of your holiday falling over if you can get it out of the way in the Dome.

Hope you enjoy it and that the bruises heal soon Toofy Grin

since when did snowboarding become all about passing or failing? It's supposed to be fun. Smile


Says the guy who got told mid way through his BASI course he would fail and then pulled himself together to avoid the shame of failing Laughing

No idea.

Wrist guards, helmet and a hefty dose of "toughen up soft pants" and you'll be fine. My ex did a learn to baord day at Milton Keynes before his first trip out. Granted he wasnt the greatest, but I didnt need to waste precious time teaching him how to strap a board on! I just wish they could teach boarders how to get off chair lifts- that would be worth the money in itself!

 You know it makes sense.

Nadenoodlee, the 1st thing taught the BASI way is how to scoot and move around/go in a straight line with one foot strapped in.

jdizzle, enjoy your day, I did it last year for a laugh and had great time and have been loads of time since you get a little better everytime and thats the addictive part for me. I'm excited thinking about it. I had to get impact shorts I was very prone to the bruised coxyx! My knee pads paid for them selfs quickly aswell and I found that a helmet works too! I wear wrist guards too but havent fallen on my hands YET!!! Its great to fallover and be able to get back up and go again! If you enjoy it youve passed there is no failing. Toofy Grin
The teaching was real good in Tamworth and you start to make progress really quickly. It was in following trips with fresh legs that it all really came together though. I wanna try boarding on a mountain this year but I usually ski when I'm away cause thats what I'm better at and I want to make the most of my lift pass.
