Snowboard diaries: First day: half-pipes and kickers

Flight Lieutenant Jude Rushmere, an Engineer Officer, works as a specialist recruiter in his 'day job', but he's currently on tour as a rider with the GB Snowboard Cross team. The team are competing in competitions around Europe for the next couple of months.

We've lent him a video camera so his can record some of his adventures as he tackles the slopes of St. Vincent, Kongsberg and more.




In this first video he tackles the half pipes, an alpine lunch and then gets out-ridden by a guy in a Yeti costume!

Jude is also blogging over on Tumbler, at www.raflivejude/tumblr.com and tweeting @raflivejude

@modelearth We're looking into gettting some new content from many different trades, so yes, it's possible we'll get some RAF fire-fighters to do some videos for us.
