Dry slope is good if thats all u have. I was at the ARTEX Games in England in 2001 and its pretty much the same just, easier to catch an edge and falls hurt a lot more.

I remember when someone brought this topic up last summer and people said they were starting their own synthetic ski hills and stuff. So here we go again!

Yeah dudes! thats such an old picture of andy! i ski with the guy all the time! how did you hear of him?
Yeah its called snowflex, better than the old crappy dendex stuff, its more like snow and doesnt hurt to much when you fall. Sheffield has the best dry slope in the UK, with a rainbow rail, a curved rail, big (not really) air jump, half pipe, quarter, bumps and erm a kinda cliff thing. Its even possible to pull some sick tricks of the kicker, D-spins, rodeo, flats, mistys corks, and a 1080 was nearly landed once!!! It aint all that bad i spose.
Have any of you lot heard of the following dudes-
Eddie Thelwell
Tom Last
Alex Murphy
Pat Sharples
Paddy Graham

If anyone is going out to tigne summer camp this year, we'll all be rippin it up on the real stuff.
Peace.

so this snowflex stuff. Do they wet it or does it slide dry? What do you do about ski waxing?

that plastic snow stuff is a great idea! they need to have fake snow parks all across the U.S. like they do with skateparks. if they ever make plastic powder don't inhale

^lol so true. That would be so sweet. All year training in the pipe. Would it work as a runway for a rail too?

the lip for the rail would never shrink or get ruined by stupid gaper kids using it as a gay jump

France for the winter, milton keynes for the summer! At MK (central England) they have a 'snowdome' which is basically a massive domed building with a slope inside on which they make real(ish) snow. Its only about 150 metres long but has a few easy rails and small kickers. Hey it sucks but what can you do! You guys dont know how lucky you are! Any newschoolers in the southern england region message me.

Cheers.

sheffield is better than milton keynes even though the snow is fake coz jumps and pipe are good. i just learnt 900's in sheffield yesterday. i prefer the pipe to a lot of snow ones unless there really good.
