Thank U Snowboarding - S1 - Ep6 - Eddie Spearing

No-one has influenced the UK scene, and driven it in its current direction than Eddie Spearing. OK, that might be a bit of hyperbole there, but certainly Eddie's impact on the UK scene is notable in many ways.

From starting the first snowboard magazine (Snowboard UK) to presiding over the British Snowboard Association. to being at nearly every competetion, Eddie was everywhere and gave everything to snowboarding, and certainly done so in the face of no money, no road map, loads of booze and good times, its staggering he is still with us!

I think as a snowboarder in the UK, we all owe Eddie a salute (and/or a pint) for the work he put in, to keep snowboarding exactly what it is and should be, anti establishment, anti corporate, a means of self expression and a reason to have a good time with your friends. Personally I'd have liked Mia Brookes to give Claire Balding the middle finger at last weeks Sports Personality of the Year awards, maybe when she wins the whole fucking thing, and I hope I'm sitting with Eddie when that happens... Thanks Ed, you are a bone fide legend. x
