Still looking at the options, and having a discussion with a few model shops about the best way to not mash the thing into the ground within 5 minutes of playing with it

4 Nitro Tech looks fun though.

I think snowboarding is a 2004 thing for me, but I'm determined to learn to board having never done it or skiing in my life.

Bah - learning before you go is for wimps. Having said that, Milton Keynes Snowdome is rather good if you're further South like m'self.

If you're going to learn to board (or at least once you're out there boarding), essential bits of kit are wrist guards - they saved my wrists on several occasions over last week's holiday. Mind you, I still ache from the unaccustomed exercise!

Think I may go back to skiing though - at least I've a vague clue how that's all supposed to work!

According to form they are pretty sturdy, I tested a cheaper one with a smaller engine that did about 40mph, scary quick. So fast I had to order a faster one straight away Excellent fun, especially with those disc brakes and two gears
