I broke my wrist snowboarding in New Zealand last year, got back to australia and got them to put one of those water proof casts on it, and was snowboarding at falls 2 weekends after. Just had to be carefull, no hitting the yellow bus or any of the big jumps. Having a cast on your arm is a good way to learn how to fall properly!

yo look into getting a job at hotham, my school teacher gave me a ad from the newspaper, they are lookin for cunts to work up there, i'm thinking about looking into it cause school is doing nothing for me..

or if you are looking at moving to thredbo let me know and i might be able to get somewhere for you to work (or atleast some people to call) i'm only like 2 hrs from there.




also looking at going to whistler as a board instructor for gap year, anyone done this?

man thredbo n perisher r lush for jobs.
i got offered one at perisher last year but that fell thru cos i wasnt paying 400 bucks bond and 147 a week for a bed in a 4 person room in a house of liek 20 lol
but if u can organise ure own accomodation im sure its sweet i just hate living with heaps of ppl cos they shit me.


if its ure first season working go sum palce chilled lol.



also ill remind everyone that im selling my burton twin tip 07 model in a 157.
for 400 bucks with bindings that just need the strap side of the top straps.

man selwyn u will get a job shit easy
i mean its a shitty resort but the staff make up for it
the bosses r chilled as i work as a lifty and terrain aprk crew there.
terrain aprk has a few boxes n sum smallish jumps
we have free reign really with what we build so we get a lil hectic sumtimes with rail/box combos.
night life is hectic lol as the staff accomodatin is in a small town so we get losoe every ngith lei ka big family
they hook everyoen up with staFF ACCOMO N THERE IS A BUS TO WORK.
also u can opt out n pay a lil less n live at the pub or tanderra lodge (i stay at the lodge)
everyoen usualy goes over to jindy on wednesday nights.


big resorts r better but for a first year selwyn is fun n easy n has a chilled crew who will help u find ure "legs"
n perisher n thredbo is only an hour drive away


as for perisher i got offered lifty position in frotn valley last year but i didnt wanna live with heaps of folks

my friend who i worked with at falls got a burton custom board..it was shit as..it de-lamed in about 4 days and he does pretty basic riding...doesnt hit jumps or jibs or anything..then it was replaced and the 2nd board did the same thing...so he got a forum manual the 3rd time round then he was happy!!!

might be keen as dude, i only live about 150kms from thredbo, the only reason we were looking at hotham is because its alot harder to find accomodation at thredbo, and its supposed to have a fair few dickheads that live there now days.
