H20 Mud n’ Snow, an independent snowboard shop in Winchester, got in touch the other day to let us know about some demo nights they’re running to give people a chance to try out next season’s kit before they buy it. The nights will be held at Calshot’s Snow Centre, the giant indoor snowflex facility near Southampton. Here’s what the crew had to say about it. “It’s pretty simple really, On a Wednesday night Calshot holds it regular ‘Freestyle night’ – ramps ‘n’ rails and all that jazz, all we do is hijack it and give you a chance to ride all the latest boards ‘n’ bindings.” They’re dividing the nights up depending on which brand you wanna ride, so check the dates and head down to whichever tickles your fancy! Or all of them if you like…
