Hi\nboard geners<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of you fresh to bg this is just a little Blogette to keep you all updated and hopefully interested in the up and downs in the world of Para-Snowboarding or Snowboarders with Disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'm\na Double Above Knee Amputee (DAK) and have been for the last 28yrs. I have been\nsnowboarding or trying to snowboard? for the last 15yrs. In future Blogs I'll endeavour to\nincorporate how that journey has gone with all its trials and tribulations, from\nthe bindings I use to the general acceptance and development of snowboarding\nfor people with disabilities on and off the hill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nfor now, a rundown of last season and then a heads up on the forthcoming\nseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got the season off to a great start with a trip to Landgraaf<\/a>, Holland along with a team of riders from The Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team<\/a> AFPST. Snowboard Pod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee Lloyd (another DAK and British Veteran) and I continued with our development and skills on what we now call the NSB's (Non-Suspended Bindings) and the week went well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
