Moving to england

[Charles_Grant]

hi all

after living in canada my whole life and skiing professionally for the past 2 years iam being forced to move to accrington in the north of england. for the last 3 years iv been filming with theory-3 media/poor boyz in places like bc california oregon alaska ect and am really scared about spending a full year in england.. what is the ski scene like over there?..iam actually excited to ski at an indoor ski hill as there arn't any in canada or the usa. also are there any competions in england and where is the best place to ski?

Dude, good luck over there. Northern England accents are terrible... indoor ski places are like 60m long. And the "English Ski Scene" almost isn't there... you might as well go to France/Austria/Switzerland to find the English skiers.

Oh, and everything is the same price as it is in Canada pretty much... except in GBP. In otherwords, everything is twice the price there. It was like 8 GBP for 2 donuts and 2 coffees went I went. That's like 16 bucks dude. Although if you're earning money over there it should be okay.

well its not my choice iam HAVE to move there .. and was just wondering if there is anything to do

Try looking up SnowDome or Xscape. I'm not really sure Accrington is so I dunno how far it will be from these places.

yo why u have to move to england? that would suck most skiers leave england as soon as they can haha

 

[connoroh]

yo, you didn't tell us that man. is this part of your dads companyt hing?  

 

[itsmuhammed]

you ski so sick in photoplay your segment was sick

you would own all the indoor comps

ah man sucks! just read the thread. U will actually kill anythin that you slide past on the 60slopes! all the indoor domes have freestyle nights which are as best we can provide

http://www.xscape.co.uk/snow/milton-keynes/whats-inside/snowslope/freestyle/ thats my local one, which is 2hrs away from me!

like i said its better than nothing i guess. Also check out BUSC which is British University Ski Club which always hosts events!

i dunno man, although english skiing sort of sucks, with the indoor slopes and our dendix crap, its pitty fun. Theres usually some pitty sick freestyle nights at all of the indoor slopes. I usually ski at tamworth snowdome which is pitty good, ramps and rails every tuesday and saturday night, also if you were filming with poor boyz and whatnot then you'll find it super easy to pick up a sponsorship over here seen as the level of competition is lower compared to canada and america and stuff, look into the salomon or line gb teams here, i bet they'd pick you up if you sent in some video or photos. But yeah, things are pitty cool here, i mean you can always head down to a slope and jsut start talking to people, everyones pitty friendly you know..but yeah, wont be as good as canada for the skiing. Good luck, where abouts are you living whilst your here?
