Photo: James North Avid followers of the Mpora blog (I know there’s thousands of you out there) may remember that I posted up some info last Friday about the event Whitelines were holding to break the record for the World’s longest snowboard rail ride. Did they do it? Well…
Whitelines and Mpora have teamed up with EA Sports’ new snowboard game SSX Tricky and Sno!Zone to try and break the world record for the longest rail slide ever on a snowboard!

With snowboarding and general nerds in the same office, this news was always going to cause a little bit of noise. I’m pretty much in the middle of this as I like snowboarding and I like Star Wars. You’d be pretty hard pushed to find someone who doesn’t like Star Wars these days so this [...]
