“Snowboard!”
Monday, April 6th, 2009
“Snowboard!” : A shout to alert people ahead that a loose and unleashed snowboard is fast coming down the mountain towards you. Another warning skiers should be familiar with from snowboarders is “Avalanche!” – which tells everyone very clearly that the mountain is coming down the mountain.
Snowboarding and broken bones.
Monday, April 6th, 2009There are 206 in the human body. No need for dismay, however: Two bones of the three bones in the middle ear have never been broken in a snowboarding accident.
My new snowboard
Monday, January 19th, 2009Tested my new snowboard, a J Class by Windlip Snowboards this weekend and it is exactly what Tim would say is “fucking great”.
“Fast as fuck, and I can’t wait to ride it again!”
The J Class Windlip Snowboard
Friday, January 16th, 2009Tim has just taken delivery of one of these snowboards designed by Windlip in France. Looking forward to getting it well tested this weekend. Especially with the new Drake Podium bindings:
A very busy week
Thursday, January 8th, 2009A busy week this one. I have reinstated all the forms on Spain hotel guide (well the Marbella hotels anyway) so they don’t collect quite the information they used to. Having changed them all before Xmas to collect alternative hotels etc, they didn’t get the leads they did before so it was a bad idea. Not my idea – just my job to change them and change them back.
Also I am getting a load of shit from a new girl selling properties in Cape Verde who’s obvious power mad entry to the company includes insulting my design of cape-verde-property-direct.com – she doesn’t like greens, and wants yellows. Green is not appropriate. Then what the fuck colour is appropriate for a shitty little island of the coast of Africa that nobody wants to buy a house at. It is called Cape Verde, verde means green, so lets have a green website. Anyway, little changes to colour mean nothing unless every website visitor shares her taste, not mine, so it can wait while more important money making projects overtake it and it is forgotten about.
I have also just done a blog for my friends at Windlip (who are snowboard manufacturers) who have sent my new 750€ board. It is called a J Class and is top banana, and I can’t wait to get it. I have been looking at these Burton C60 bindings for it too. Cool! Shame Burton’s website isn’t a bit faster – it’s shit. If they got rid of all that flash bollox and made the site faster they might sell more!
Apart from that, not a lot of new news. Was a bit ill yesterday and so was my dog. Andi has been great bringing me medicine, cigarettes and food etc, but thats why she is so beautiful and I love her so much…..
Custom snowboards designed by Windlip.
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008Just had to give Lisa and Dan a mention (yes, and you Nick) doing their bit for the planet (not to mention giving their vid a bit more coverage, and their snowboard web site another link or two).
If you are into the environment, and want an environmentally friendly snowboard, then look at this – the Eco Rocket:
Are you looking to buy a snowboard? Are you looking to choose a snowboard? A decent snowboard? Windlip Snowboards are custom designed snowboards.
Happy fuckin’ Xmas
Saturday, December 27th, 2008Happy Xmas to everyone who knows me.
I was a good catholic boy and went to midnight mass in Turin, and have spent the whole time shopping, watching DVD’s and eating lots (on my new low colesterol diet).
My mate Nick is back tomorrow (I’ve had his flat while he has been away; although I have spent most nights con la bellissima ragazza), and we are off snowboarding 29th and probably most of next week. I have a mate on the lifts at one of the largest Italian resorts, with the last Olympic downhill course, of which the start is one of the steepest nightmares I have ever come down. I’m looking forward to that. Nick is also bringing back a new collection of music for my iPod.
New Year, who knows?
Buon Natale!
Jeremy Jones, Wolfmother, Avalanche, Snowboarding video.
Friday, October 3rd, 2008And just because Nick seems to be Jeremy Jones’ Wolfmother Avalanche Snowboarding Video sales and marketing promoter, here is the video just for you Nick!
Snowboarding accidents don’t come much worse than this!
Monday, September 29th, 2008Snowboarding accidents sometime involve a bit of extreme trucking. Look what I just found on YouTube. WOW!
Watch the video and then listen to this for a Blink 182 Tune. “What’s my age again!”

Sorry Andi; you were in bed again when I was writing this but at least I wasn’t at the small beach!
