December will always be known as the month that Jesus Christ was born in a cattle shed in Bethlehem, but now I bring even better and maybe slightly blasphemous tidings. Yes it’s true Snowboard-Review.com/TV (supported by Peak Leaders of course) will be bringing you seven new video reviews of your favourite boards throughout this festive month!

Snowboard-Review has teamed up with my local shop and Europe’s biggest online retailer (which is complete coincidence I might add) Blue-Tomato.com, who are flowing me test boards weekly for the next month. I’m kicking off the reviews this weekend in my favourite freeride mecca Obertauern where I will be putting a Salomon Burner 166 and Burton Supermodel 164 through their paces while my poor girlfriend Collette gets frostbite from manning the camera! A complete list of boards I will be testing is below:
Burton Supermodel 164
Salomon Burner 166
Burton Custom X 158
Burton Sherlock 157
Lib Tech Travis Rice C2 BTX 157.5
Nitro Team Gulllwing 157
Burton Blunt 155
Also in December at some point I’m planning to go shredding with Amplid owner and co-founder Peter Bauer in his local Bavarian resort. He’ll be showing us through some of this year’s Amplid boards, hopefully the Dopamine, Paradigama and UNW8. Of course all of this action will be brought to you in glorious HD!
Big thanks to Vanessa and Philipp @ www.blue-tomato.com for sourcing the test boards. And if you’re living in Euroland and you’re looking for some Christmas gift ideas or you’ve got some money burning a hole in your pocket the Blue-Tomato website is definitely worth a browse.

Review got put back a little bit. Hopefully I’ll be able to do the review in the next week or two. The weather over in Austria is set to rain so it’s quite weather dependent.

Freakin’ rain! Killing all the snow AND my favourite reviews! :)
