 Poster: A snowHead

Brilliant to see the news that James Woods won a bronze in slopestyle at the Euro Winter X Games.

Just shows what you can do if you are determined enough. For a Brit to even qualify for snow events is a miracle in itself, especially with no funding !
Pity that so many of our ski/board stars get zero press attention. Maybe if they did, they'd get some government funding. Our "alternative" snowsporters are doing very well in competition compared to the "regular" skiers and deserve some acknowledgemnet.
Very hard to find coverage, I thought I'd get it on Eurosport or Extreme, but it's on ESPN, which I haven't got.
I think I'd prefer the BBC to cover stuff like this and the Winter Dew tour rather than the holiday programme they call Ski Sunday.
Managed to find some coverage on line, French commentry, but the action is all I need to see.

Great news eh. Riders like James is where more funding should be going. He's also very impressive the way he works on the Salomon grom camps teaching the next generation of park skiers.
I dip my hat to you Woodsie.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Sarge,
do a google search for "everythingontv", the stream skysports 1/2/3, eurosport and espn.
you can initially watch for 20mins, then you would need to sign up, but even then it is completely free, I watched the cricket on it yesterday.

ESPN has been showing it live all week with highlights in the evenings (PS I know this doesn't help if you haven't got ESPN...)
Saw Woods' run last night - great stuff for a Brit.
