I bought 2 from Sports World last year. They are about 1-1.5 metres long and cost roughly £10 and I can't find them again.
They are good for taking on Southport beach to be towed by a mate in a car or for going down sand hills.

I'm going snowboarding for the first time and need a jacket. I've found a North Face thats quite nice. But is wearing it a lot like "Oh, look at the new guy wearing North Face...ha...ha...ha...!"?
Superficial? Yes, but I can't find any Helly Hansen or the like around here.

I love figure skating but I dont have a rink nearby to skate on. The mall nearby only lets kids skate with hockey skates, and they have to be under thirteen. I may go to Jordan, but would I ever have a chance there? Would I have a chance to go pro if I went back to the states??? Or should I just stick to the dreams...but I really really want to be one.

I want to take my girl skiing for her first time, but we won't be able to go until late March/early April. I'm worried that most of the snow will be melted by then. I'm thinking Whistler, B.C. b/c it's further north, but I can't find snow averages for CO, Jackson Hole, UT, etc. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Okay, so I ride goofy-footed and just put the bindings on my snowboard. Should my front binding (right foot) be closer to the end of the board or should my back binding (left foot) be closer to the end of the board?

I've looked at Graf and Jackson skates and I think I'm leaning more towards Graf... but I'm still not sure. I've worn almost every type of skate that there is and I haven't been very satisfied with any of them. I just need some reassurance on this decision.

Well I have Risport RF4 skates with MK21 blades. Beginner and I've broken into the boots for quite a while.

I bought the skates second-handed, so the blades are not fitted especially for me. I'm not sure if the position affects though.

I realise that after skating for around one hour and sometimes even lesser, my right foot will hurt, at the area of the arch. I'm Asian with relatively narrower foot than other Asians. Are Risport boots suitable?

I know that I'm asking about the arch, but I'm wondering the tongue should be felt on the shin. Sometimes it irritates me, and no, I'm NOT going to wear tights/stockings. My friend said that that was not normal. Is it lace bite if it kind of puts pressure at where the knot is tied?

I've a left knee injury, currently not skating. Could putting more weight on the right side be the reason? Pst. I want to get back to skating ASAP!

Please answer the questions that you know if you can!

I've never snow skied or snowboarded, so my first question is what do I wear? I know I need snow pants, but what about those gortex loose pants? What's the best thing to board in? Any helpful are greatly appreciated. I'm in Arkansas, we hardly get cold, much less need to dress for snow.

We are going to be at Heavenly, so any insider are greatly appreciated too!

Thanks in advance!

I can never diffenrentiate between those 3 jumps. An axel and toe loop is easy to recognize, but the other 3... I've no idea. Also, are there any jump combinations that is not allowed in figure skating? And lastly, Is Timothy Goebel the only figure skater to have ever successfully complete a quadruple-quadruple jump combination?
