I'm going on saturday haha. Not entirely sure where in Mayrhofen, its an unspecified B&B, but £152 inc. flights Not liking the sound of that 78% gradient black run, there used to be a (edit, thinking about it, its probably still there) 25% gradient hill in Aberywstwth, that was pretty mental, and it was tarmacced. Sauze D'ooooxze in italy had some quite lively bars. Might be worth checking it out.

I think you misread I've been 3 times already, never had lessons. My first day I pointed the board straight ahead, after a few hours of this I wondered why I kept going so fast and falling over (to stop myself). So I sat my severely bruised arse down and watched some other boarders for about 30 mins to see what I was doing wrong - and picked up the whole heel toe thing. I could turn okish by the second day so didn't bother with lessons - Could probably do with a few now though as I imagine my technique is horrible! Pretty set on that board now, cheers for the help all (although feel free to keep discussing - was looking forward to your input Tomm!)

Yep I can carve properly, remaining stable/confident at speed was mostly what has held me back the past 2 times I've been. Not really looking for something to learn on.. something to improve on. Infact I think I'm decided, http://www.snowboard-asylum.com/cgi-bin/ps...user|1,0,0,1|8| Seems to get great reviews and is exactly what I'm looking for, I think I may have answered my own question. Only thing is, on there it says 154cm 55 – 80kg <li>157cm 60 – 80+kg Really not sure, think I'll go for the 157 though Erm, it'll be off piste for the first week, then on piste the second time I go, and off piste again the third week (if that happens). So really looking for an all rounder (all mountain? is it?) I won't be doing a great amount of parky stuff, I can't jump to save my life (dont think I ever will be to either) and it doesn't interest me too much.

Tomm? Maher? Anyone? Looking for some advice on buying a board, I'm totally confuzzled. I've been 3 times before, each time using (crap) rental boards. I'm not too bad, can ride pretty confidently on the piste and I think I'm possibly at the stage where using a crap rental board might be holding me back a bit.. In 2 weeks I'm going with some guys from work, who have been a fair few times before, sounds like a fair bit of off piste and occasional jumps are on the cards. Then in January I'm off with some mates, and we'll probably be sticking to pistes (unless I can convince them to go on a bit of an adventure..).. Then I may well be going again in March. So yeah, think I want to buy a board/boots/bindings now rather than wasting money on renting again, and I'm looking for an all rounder kinda board. (Boots, maybe bindings I'll get from a shop..) One thing that confuses me is what size to go for. Seems its generally based on height and weight... well I'm 6'1 and 10 stone - so I'm pretty out of proportion, tall and light. Initially I was thinking around 160, as thats what the rental places usually give me (based on my height), but I've read around a bit and some places recommend length based on weight, in which case its usually around 155/157. Uhm, any advice? Some pointers (any!) would be much appreciated Oh yeah, will spend 200-300 odd. Second 'oh yeah'.. I'm size 10 feet, should I be looking at a wide board?

Unfortunately when we moved servers we downgraded our bandwidth.. from 5000gb to 2000gb.. although we won't use it I guess its best we keep any spare aside. As jonny pointed out, we're not a professional host, in fact moving users from our old server to the new one isn't going so well! ha. oops.. In short, we won't be able to match a decent 'normal' host - have a look at webhostingtalk.com, specifically the subforums where all the sales are, and then do a search for any hosts you seem to like the look of to see if they get any decent reviews.

We had a server with uk2, they were pretty good, and fast. But that was a dedicated server, not sure what their shared hosting is like. You could try looking for hosts in europe too, I think the ping from here to our current server (in Germany) was only a couple of ms slower than to UK2.

I'll have to re-read my instructions on how to add the feedback and videos links back in. We need to upgrade the forum to 2.3.6 first, but I'll add them back in after that. There wont be any more skins until we upgrade to IPB 3.0.

We've moved servers again. Videos aren't working yet, if you find any more problems let me know. videos working..

Or (you probably know this), you could just change your router to auto-assign IPs using DHCP. You can change your internal IP to anything between 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.255.255, as far as I remember they're 'reserved' for internal networks. You can't change your external IP (the one websites see) to whatever you want, as once you request 'the internet' for something, it would never know how to find your computer again. EDIT: here comes Chris.. probably about to prove me wrong!

The depot for the last place I had to pick something up from was open til 7.30pm.. could always try phoning after work.

I'd disagree that Samsung are in the middle, for picture quality they are at the top. www.avforums.com is your friend.
