Taking the High Road in Glenshee
19/03/06
They say if you can ski/ snowboard in Scotland you can do it anywhere in the world!
This is due to our notorious lack of snow and abundance of wind. However if conditions are right Scotland is outstanding. A nice article on Scottish skiing/ snowboarding can be found on the Snow Sphere website
Had a cool hip instructor called Ali from Oz at the Glenshee ski resort who had only been in Scotland for a couple months. He was as bad as Keith with regards to his risk tolerance. Had an obsession with making me attempt some tricks. Ended up practicing some manuals and ollies with the fruits of my effort manifesting in the knee trembling teeth jittering....very very small jump
---from my limited understanding, a manual consists of a rider bending low and leaning towards the back of the board so the front of the board (the nose) razes off the ground a little.
ollie is taking a manual to the next step buy springing off the back of the board resulting with the whole of the board raising off the ground a little.---
the costs were all covered by the charity Connections for Development they got some footage for their small documentary which was documenting how individuals from the UK are making a difference in the developing world and I got some nice riding done.
