Boarder cross is an awesome sport, and in Britain, hidden away. So, how do you get a licence, how do you find a race, and how do you find training opportunities.


Luckily, at TORR Snowboarding we have you covered. We help to train and to develop athletes from all nations. And, if you are from the Great Britain, utilise this blog to help you find a licence, with a direction to race and train.



Step 1 - become a member with your home nation


Click on your home Nation link below and sign up as a member and competitor. If you reside in the UK, once registered you will have civil liability and third party insurance when competing.



Step 2 - join GB snowsports for a FIS licence


Click on this link to GB snowsport , where you will need to show your membership with your Home nation is valid, plus complete a medical from a doctor to finalise your application for a FIS licence.

 

Whenever you want to go to any snowboardcross race, it is through GB Snowsport that you will communicate with. They will ensure a co-ordinated entry with the organiser of the event.



Step 3 - find the race for you


Check out the FIS calendar for upcoming races. You will only be able to access certain races, as your skills improve, then so too does your licence. It is often that races are added last minute when there is sufficient snow quantities, and subtracted due to lack of snow.



step 4 - find a course provider to gain skills


So you can beat your mates and your parents in a race, however, there is a huge skill set required to compete at every level on the FIS circuit. The only way to get better is through dedicated training and coached from the best. We can provide this and more, check out our main SBX course page here.
