Hi there! But, I'm not really new, I've just not been in here for a few years. I am a snowboarddotcom refugee. That site/domain is still dead, and is still for sale for a good 6 figures, although someone did make a valiant effort some 5 years ago.
The irony of my situation is I grew up in the South African surf city of Durban, yet I've never stood on a surfboard. I've now been living for the last 12 years in the flattest country on earth, Belgium. Considering all that, I'm obsessed with snowboarding since I discovered it while working on an American ski-resort in 2002.
