A VW Bay Window Story: Rust, Rehab and Restoration- ‘…define “road-worthy”!’
‘…define “road-worthy”!’ So this next part was incredibly exciting. As the title suggest, Moss was about to get his first official taste of road. MOT was booked in, but first…

A VW Bay Window Story: Rust, Rehab and Restoration- ‘No, I have no idea how to sew a canvas roof liner…but I can learn!’
‘No, I have no idea how to sew a canvas roof liner…but I can learn!’ This is where the finer details and designs had to come into play. So neither me or my dad are particularly good at interior design, so designing an interior for a small space seemed like a colossal job. We… Read more »

A VW Bay Window Story: Rust, Rehab and Restoration- ‘Were these bits supposed to go back on too?’
‘Were these bits supposed to go back on too?’ Now, with a heading like the one above in the ‘Engine rebuild’ section of my story, you know this is going to be good… This is how we started. Using an A-Frame ladder, loads of cheap pullies and some cheap rope that was NOT load… Read more »

A VW Bay Window Story: Rust, Rehab and Restoration- “I’m not impatient, I’m excited…and impatient.”
“I’m not impatient, I’m excited…and impatient” Big things were happening. The bus was looking less and less like an empty husk and more like a homeless man’s make shift home. In my eagerness I was beginning to get a little ahead of myself and started on a few extra jobs that were not particularly necessary… Read more »

A VW Bay Window Story: Rust, Rehab and Restoration- “Is sander’s elbow a thing?”
“Is sander’s elbow a thing?” The rebuild had begun. I had lost hope and motivation many times over during the long welding process and on occasion contemplated selling up and doing away with all the stress. However, it had all been worth it. Nothing could be as difficult as endless welding…right? I could barely deal… Read more »

A VW Bay Window Story: Rust, Rehab and Restoration- “Dad, the van’s on fire again…”
“Dad, the van’s on fire again…” This chapter is also titled the “Learning to weld again” section. The van was bare of all fixings, bar the wiring loom and a few other small things we did not fancy threading through the body again later on. In front of me I had a list of all… Read more »

A VW Bay Window Story: Rust, Rehab and Restoration- “Oh look, more rust…”
“Oh look, more rust…” So here is where it began… I rolled the van onto the drive under the 1 dp (dad power) engine, then stood back to admire the best buy of my life so far. Holes every where, dripping old oil, mirrors hanging off and questionable ‘cigarette’ burns in the upholstery…I could not… Read more »

A VW Bay Window Story: Rust, Rehab and Restoration- “That’s a hole lot of bus…”
“That’s a hole lot of bus!” The following morning I woke feeling content in the drunk exploration of a dream and that it was remaining so. I went to work early and spent the short shift in a daydream of VWs, adventures and oddly an episode of Poirot featuring Pete’s Dragon (please see previous post… Read more »

A VW Bay Window Story: Rust, Rehab and Restoration- “So here’s what I’m thinking…”
“So, here’s what I’m thinking…” Over time, stories tend to acquire new details and become further and further for the truth, so believe me when I say I will do my best to remember exactly how everything happened. Memory is not my friend and it has been a life time since this story started. A… Read more »

One in eight million – Share the stoke
I always felt like it wasn’t worth entering competitions, until now, I won the competition of a life time, and the grand prize was a holiday to a destination of my choice, Turtle Bay in Hawaii, Telluride in Colorado, or Laax in Switzerland. They also threw in a GoPro hero 4 Black and all the accessories… Read more »

Prop’s where prop’s due, this guy has something I’ve not seen before on a boarding vid! http://vimeo.com/m/91800332
Read moreShaun White – Russia Calling
Love him or hate him, you have to resepect the amount of pressure he not only puts himself under, but also the pressure but on him by sponsors etc. You should watch this vid just to get an idea of what they go through to get them tricks nailed. If nothing else, it will get… Read more »

Changes
One of the most fun, inspiring and “I NEED TO GO SNOWBOARDING NOW!” videos I have seen, Isenseven have dropped this awesome vid for us and it is just incredible. This video sums up all the awesome parts of snowboarding, the blue sky, the perfect powder, the creative lines and just general messing around with… Read more »
Read moreScott Stevens: The Dividend Part
Incredible creativity from Scott Stevens as per usual. Some of his tricks are daft, some of his tricks are completely insane, but all of his tricks are fantastic to watch, give it a watch and let us know what you think about his different tricks! https://vimeo.com/78213103
Read moreJamie Nichols: Hintertux/ Stubai stunts
Watching this video can show you exactly what you can achieve when you start at the dryslope. Young lad from Yorkshire stepping up his game to a whole new level, he has now entered the level of the other “I can’t firgure out how many spins he just did” riders, along with some fairly funky… Read more »

Backflips galore! Lots of lovely tweaked out flips and creative stuff in this vid. vimeo.com/79356373
Read moreHalldor Helgason: Never Not
4 days post injury, backflipping with a neckbrace on…Helgason is pretty nuts, especially when that backflip is a roof gap! “It’s actually easier to backflip than it is to straight air!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x43hvpR83us
Read moreGigi Ruff: Never Not
He has been around for as long as I have been snowboarding, one of the first names I came to recognise within the sport and has been my inspiration ever since. To be putting out stuff like this, still shows that he has what it takes to inspire old and new within snowboarding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nde6QokBH-s
Read moreThe Crash Reel: Kevin Pearce
Inspiring story from Kevin Pearce, I’m looking forward to watching it. Interesting to hear him say that he wouldn’t change anything from what has happened to him. He has obviously drawn a lot of life inspiring stuff from everything that he has happen to him.

Snowcamp Rally 2012
Jackrabbitt got invited to go back and represent at the SnowCamp Rally, after winning the fundraiser trophy in 2009. When one of the lads pitched it to a few of us, we were all interested, so we decided to stick three teams together, Jackrabbitt North, Jackrabbitt South and Jackrabbitt Yorkshire. The format was: Arrive at… Read more »
Read moreThe well deserved “Thanks”
The new branding and the new site has been a long time in the planning, and a lot of hard work, but we would never have got here without the aid of a few people. First and foremost, I would like to say a massive thank you to Oli Bentley from Split (www.split.co.uk) a design… Read more »
