I know all the good stuff happens elsewhere, but if all UKers checked the regionals more often, then it would be a really valuable resource.

It's fairly obvious that we are very much a minority in the UK. Most people won't know what freestyle is, and those who do won't pay much attention.

So, we really need some collective action to progress the sport.

When it snows, it would be really useful if people posted good skiing spots/ session that are going down.

And I'm launching a petition with the government later this month to secure a greater proportion of sports funding for freesports. Freestlye gets a pathetic amount of the funding put aside for winter sport, even though UK freeskiers kill it all over the globe. So, it would really useful to update everyone on the progress of the petition.

Peace.
 
I'm in, more publication for freeskiing and similar sports in general would be amazing instead of this 'health and safety assessment' culture we live in today, i was told i couldn't ski at my local park (the British park being a grassy hill) earlier today as i may lose control and hurt my self... somehow they believed i may sue for this? wait wut.
 
what!? but little kids hurling themselves down hills on sledges which have no means of steering or braking are more than entitled to use the park. that's retarded, standard british culture of being afraid of what we do not fully know, for example we go on holiday and then rush for the first british themed bar ( generalisation but not untrue)
 
Good idea, looking at the part which says "when it snows" have you heard of the few english ski resorts/fields?http://www.yadmoss.co.uk/ is the biggest and my nearest hillhttp://www.skiweardale.com/ Never been but heard some good stuff.http://harwoodski.webs.com/ Smaller but good fun ( broke my collarbone there this winter though)Theres a few others aswell good resource here: http://www.snowlion.freeuk.com/ yadmoss has a good facebook page aswell with some epic photos from this past season. Just getting into freestyle and the Yad moss scene is great.
