EXCLUSIVE MOUNTAIN BOARDING DAY – 2010

WRITTEN BY: Aaron Thomas

Saturday the 12th September was a fantastic day for Extreme Element and the fifty or so extreme Mountain Boarders that competed out on the slopes of Redhill, Surrey, that memorable day.

Exclusive Mountain Boarding Day

With the sun beaming down on a proud army of Ex Element T-Shirt wearing boarders, we hit the slopes hard for a full day of skill learning and events, mixed in with a massive BBQ and podium finishing prize ceremony.

Adults and children competed side by side in small groups, all aiming to take home a slice of the great prizes and the much coveted title ‘King of the Slopes’ on what was a fantastic day out in the Surrey countryside.

Check the photos from 2009 here.

Our own Mountain Boarding versions of classic competition games proved a big hit on the day, with limbo bars, high jumps and an egg & spoon race accompanying the standard timed runs for winning prizes. The party atmosphere on the day was pleasantly accompanied by a competitive edge and sharp bursts from the unavoidable tank of adrenaline exploding into life with every event.

Well, now that the sun is beginning to make an appearance again we’ve had no choice but to put another date in the calendar for round two- July 24th 2010! Without doubt, 2010’s party will knock last year’s off the slopes with some superb additions to the already enjoyable event format.

Authentic Indian Food

I had an amazing time not only cooking the food but also learning about the Indian culture. I learnt so much about different seasoning that can be used, and how to actually make it myself! Minesh was really good at engaging the group, he gave really good tips that made such a big difference to the taste of the food. I now feel confident to cook my own chicken curry, i cant wait to show off my new cooking skills ! read more >

Escape Madness!

What a brilliant day! Loads of fun having my boys running about looking for clues. After a splendid day exploring the Lanes, it was the perfect way to end the day and grab a chilled drink from the coffee house it's held in! The bank heist interior was perfectly laid out making it so real, and the work put into the clues were really quite challenging (who want's an easy game!!). Top marks, will bring my husband next time to see if he can beat my boys! read more >

A Very Impressed Food Lover!

I’m a self-proclaimed foodie and I must admit I was in my element in this lesson! Not to mention a little star struck being around the co-founder and chef of Indian Summer. Although the shop is small, Minesh created a relaxed and friendly environment for the whole class and his passion and knowledge of food was beyond impressive. I learnt things about Indian cuisine that I never knew before. He taught us how to cook a handful of delicious dishes, with some expert tips and tricks that I’ll definitely be using at home. It was really exciting to taste the Mamaji Chicken dish as it developed in flavour after each new addition (especially our own freshly ground spices!). I had a great evening, and I’m gonna buy a lesson for my mum this Christmas! read more >

Fun, informative and tasty!

This cooking class really opened my eyes to what real authentic Indian cooking is. Minesh, the chef, is just fantastic, his individual knowledge of the cuisine passed down from his family adds a lovely personal touch to the whole thing. The class had a really relaxed environment, and brilliantly catered to my friends dietary requirements. My favourite part was making the chapatis, something I never knew required so much skill! What really is great is that at the end of it all you get to tuck into your creations, talking, drinking and eating with your classmates. I'm not usually a fan of aubergine, but the Baingan Bharta (an amazing smoked aubergine dish) was my absolute favourite, and I will be sure to recreate at home! read more >

Authentic Indian Cookery Secrets!

Can’t recommend this class highly enough. Minesh is a wonderful host, and extremely knowledgeable. He started with a little introduction before we started preparing our ingredients. I was the token vegan of the group, but I was catered for with separate vegan dishes, as well as being able to join in with the preparation of the meat dish before the meat went in. As we cooked, Minesh explained each part of the process, and everyone had a go at everything. The highlight of the class for me has to be grilling an aubergine straight onto a gas hob! I learnt so much about Indian food during this class, and I feel more confident cooking it at home now. At the end of the lesson, we all sat down to eat dinner together as a group which was a lovely way to end the evening. I’d definitely recommend this for anyone even remotely interested in Indian food, you’ll learn so much! read more >
