Snowboarding: Milton Keynes Xscape Wind Direction: N/A Wind Stength: N/A Surf / Sea State: N/A Air Temperature: Cold Sea Temperature: N/A Weather: Indoor Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Went to Xscape at Milton Keynes with me bird and some mates. Got myself a
snowboard and bindings and boots so wanted to try them out. And was I
impressed? Yes. 80% boarders at the centre but it wasn't that busy so
there was a lot of space for going fast and trying jumps and tricks.
Haven't done many jumps before but they had a 'kicker' there near the top
of the slope which a lot of the boarders were going over so thought I'd
give it a try. Found it quite easy to be honest, could land ok all the
time but had some trouble on the run out a few times. Managed to do some
360s as well, not in the air but turnin, riding fakie then back round to
regular again. Need to pacrtise this though and do it faster. Also tried
wheelieing the board, with great difficulty and ended up in a big heap lol.
There are some BIG jumps at Xscape but my balls werent anywhere near
enough to attempt it. Some great speed ridiing though. Really enjoyed it
and having your own kit kinda makes it better. Full marks for this. Hope
to head back there soon as have booked Tignes for January for a week and
two weeks in Whistler for March.
