I always think of the Steve McQueen quote at the end of Grand Prix (or was it Le Mans?) "Racing is life - everything else is just waiting". Always start getting itchy that first day in Autumn when you can smell the cold in the air. Got to go get the muscles remembering what to do - seems like ages since I last strapped the board on - dreading to see what condition my edges are in.
And thanks mluti for making my 1000th post about snowboarding rather than bloody luggage allowances on budget carriers or snow tyres or skiing *shudder*
Admin, subscription is in - can't spend this much time on SH and not hand over a few bob for running costs.

I'm only officially allowed to start getting excited on 1st October. The fact that I'm back on here again indicates that the last two weeks of September are always a bit of a struggle....
The board is strictly not allowed to be brought out from under the bed until November. This time last year, I found buying "Snowboarding the world" provided some relief.

I usually get the 'powder horn' for about an hour or so on July 21st. It's the summer solstice and what runs through my head is, "The days are getting shorter, so winter's coming".

Need snow.... Fridges will temporarily sate my hunger, but it's a bit like having a Burger King, when what you really want is prime steak... Roll on Winter!

You are not alone, gagging for the winter. Did a wee bit of wakeboarding in the summer on Loch Lomond and N. Wales, a reasonable substitute, but not the same, yes I am also a sad case who has been thinking boarding a lot since 1st Sept.

Always in 2 minds about using the fridges in the run-up to going away. One half says it'll be great practice and a warm up to get the old muscle memory back and more fun than a trip to the gym or a run in the park in the drizzle, the other says some guffawing twunt is bound to take you out on your last run down or you'll dislocate your own crotch on the poma, and you won't be able to ride properly on your trip... it's a tough call

I've checked the weather thread at least three times a day every day since I discovered this lovely :SH: place in early winter last year. I had a weekend on Cairngorm and week in PDS. Put a deposit on a new board in late spring and managed to occupy myself for a bit building a new MTB. That said its pretty much its all I ever think about - nice to know I'm not alone, though my wife thinks I have some sort of mental disorder.

Oh you do have the disorder, but you've found a support group now, or at least a bunch of enablers

I cant believe you chaps stop thinking about snowboarding. I cant get it out of my head. If there's a medical condition I may have it. Already bought some new gear for the coming winter; pants are being replaced by Burton's bullet proof warranty, board on the way, and a jacket is in the pipeline as my old one is coming apart. I have 2 trips booked already, Chamonix for Xmas and Saalbach in March. Now where's my 'how to snowboard' book again...

I had my first taste of snowboarding yesterday. A lot of fun. A lot of times eating snow, but fun nevertheless.

Hello to all
I've had a holiday booked since August for January (Val Thorens) and just booked a trip to Norway in February and every day since booking I've been checking webcams and talking about it ,last month i tried all my gear on and decided i want new stuff and had restless sleepless nights thinking about what im going to buy at the snowboard show tomorrow at the N.E.C.
I'm so excited about January's holiday I feel like Im going to pop!
Im 37 going on 16 and Christmas used to be the highlight ,now its just another day to squander away thinking about my holiday .
Girlfriend can't make either holiday so both times its a lads holiday...10 of us going ,each sending more and more random snowboarding texts to each other every day ..my girlfriend's asked if I'm seeing someone else because of the little gigles i do when i get a holiday text and we're only in October !
Help me i have a problem .
