Were the 2000 British Snowboard
Champs a Fiasco?: Scott's Story | British Association Response | Competitor's Talk
The british scene is becoming a joke and it aint over yet.
Monday was shitter weather so postponed the BX until Friday
Tuesday was Halfpipe, of sorts..........a good shape, but like a soup bowl
filled with snot, ............. the best riders got together and tried to
have the event postponed until the pipe was ridable. One girl was knocked
out in practise, heli evacuted to Innsbruck. But it went ahead, alot of
riders sitting out. I said I wasn't doing it,....... but at last minute held
some hope of retaining my overall title, so did it, but dropped in 2 hits,
then out, over it! AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh! (primal scream)

Well Yesterday it was the Dual GS event. Another joke though as racing
didn't start until 1.30pm. Course was stupid. Timing was screwed up. I
actually got feed up by lunch and left......... Martin Sporli won. So did
Janna Gibson. But she didn't really as the girl she raced beat her twice, so
timing was F@#ked. A kiwi victory of sorts.........
Today was supposed to be the Big Air. But bad weather has postponed it until
tommorrow and cancelled the BX altogether. Oh well! It has proven to be a
big joke. I guess I can keep the BX title............. I'm so frustrated and
annoyed at the British Snowboard Association.
They are too busy selling the event to media, getting sponsor $$$$$, selling
holidays to the punters. Then contracting out the event responsibility to
useless people who then contract a resort who doesn't give a hoot about
British Snowboarding. So the buck is passed!!!! ,.......... so they all
fucked it up good and proper.
To be fair weather has been a problem, but they choose a resort that gave
them the best deal. $$$$$
They forgot about the riders..........
