you have to pass a series of qualifications and gain your license then progress up the bands... i'm with the ISIA atm have a look on their site .etc
wat type of riding do you do?
i've just priced up my new kit, getting a custom burton series 13 board i think if they can do it in wide, i send them the image i want on it .etc and it's all custom made just for me so a nice one off only problem is i have to collect it in the US but be worth the money and wait plus i'm getting the new carbon fibre bindings and boots they have out tis tres pricey but i love it totally

proper off piste? you should have a dabble in heli skiing
did it in whistler and its the biggest rush i've ever had, 8 foot of powder and empty un used runs through tree's and off cliffs...  amazing

well, off piste as in un touched snow 4ft deep that if u come off ur board ur screwed
one of my mates came off and landed on his back last yeah, he was like a turtle stuck on his shell (u had to be there)
Luckily i was behind him to help him out...other wise he'd probably still be there

very true. but only if you try to do a run out of your level to soon and make me suffer because of it... same applies to terrain parks when newbies go onto the big stuff to early it annoys me, they need to progress in the smaller parks then work their way up rather than think they're gods gift to the sport after a weeks experience

well usually they seal the graphics inside on a topsheet using a two part epoxy resin system so if you were to paint over that it would simply flake/crack/chip off

do you ever drive along in the outside lane and someone in front slows you down? if you do you'll understand how u want them to move in to a slower lane but they often don't and if u dont have this problem then a lot of people on here i'm sure do and can understand
all i'm saying is snowboardings often taken on by ppl who think they've mastered it straight away and as a result dont board in their limits and therefore prevent me from boarding in mine as a result
i only feel like this a few times the majority of the time i love people to take up the sport .etc its just the odd bunch who ruin it
