Post lesson excitement

It's been a long time since I've been this excited, to think I'll be trying something new and dangerous, last time I did that I was still a teenager. So I've decided to prepare and what better way to do so than exercise.

Having fun trying to do #snowboarding exercises inspired by @gkapri

Snozone part 1

Hey guys, girls and everyone inbetween
So over the weekend I visited the snozone in Milton Keynes, didn't get to do anything there apart from walk around and visit the shops. That means this will be more my thoughts of the location, not of the slope.
Inside the Exscape building there is a small shopping centre, a cinema, the indoor ski slope and and indoor skydiving wind tunnel. At the bottom of the slope there is a nice big open restaurant with windows looking out into the slope, so I bought a muffin and a coke and just sat there watching people having fun.
Shops wise they're mostly sports orientated, you have the Snowboard Asylum and then a couple of small snow shops, running shops and the usual couple of restaurants. Snowboard Asylum has a HUGE range and it's staff members are friendly and very knowledgeable.

Went to Milton Keynes today on my way home from my other half's place and wow is the #snozone impressive #snowboarding #billabong #snow #mountains #calloftheslopes

Snowboarding lessons

Hi guys and girls, I thought I'd update you a bit on my journey, so today I've finally booked my snowboarding lessons at Milton Keynes Xscape which is rather exciting. It'll be on the 22nd of October so got a bit of a wait.

I booked a full day of lessons for myself and my girlfriend, that's 8 hours of boarding for the both of us. It's the first time I'll be doing anything like this but my girlfriend has been boarding before so we'll be fine..... I hope.

Sadly I can't take pictures there so I'll just have to write about it, wish me luck.

drone research and development

so yesterday I was at multirotorcraft helping build drones and I came across a small DJI f450, this drone is about the perfect size and weight to fit in a rucksack and is very modular. So this is why it's in the journal, this small drone can be fitted with a flight controller that tracks the users phone and so would be able to follow the user say down a mountain, so me and the guys at multirotor are going to be working on this and keep all you guys posted

And I present to you the prototype of the #snowboarding #drone for under £500 #mountains #sport #ski #dji #diy #budget

Book plans

so today I've been doing quite a bit of thinking and work on the research side of things, mainly setting up a kickstarter page and putting surveys out. So I have finally made a decision on what I'm doing, the book it's self will be a full photo book in an Ebook format with accompanying videos and access to future content, there will be a limited run of 50 physical hard back books as well in the campaign

Of helmets and goggles

So today I went browsing the local Ski shops for a skid lid and pair of goggles.

I have been up to this point looking at Oakley goggles but couldn't find any suitable helmets to match so I've had to draw up a plan B. What's plan B you may ask well the B stands for Burton......

I know, I know, I've already bought Billabong kit and such but the A-non [a company under Burton] goggles and helmets fit me like a glove, I must say when I tried them on at www.rxsport.co.uk today they felt nice and the magnetic lenses of the M2 goggles felt just right for full days out on the slopes.

So yeah I'm definitely going with M2 goggles and possibly the Raider helmet or Blits helmet.
