So, this is what happens when you weigh around 90kg, you attempt a 360° jump and you wipe out badly… you smash the base-plate on one of your bindings! Luckily Burton have a lifetime warranty, so when I get back to Oz I should get a free replacement. In the meantime, I bought a second-hand replacement which will see me through the remaining week of this season.

I nominated myself as the only member of Team Extreme as I’m the only one who smashed some gear trying new stuff, and yes, I accept that Team Crap could also apply!
