I just spoke to JG. He got 4th in the race. He was freeriding afterwards and hit a tree going about 40mph. He is at Worcester Hospital with a broken right leg and dislocated shoulder. More later.

Saw the site that Chris posted above. Is this a new sport?

I saw my first teleboard on hill a few weeks ago, didn't know what the hell it was....my first thought was this sport is for Gilmour (seriously).

Any pictures of Gilmour teleboarding? I have no idea what it is? A mix between snowboarding and skiing you say? Is that like skiing on one leg?

Our very own John Gilmour, top slalom competitor and all around nice guy is competing today in the World Teleboard Championship. The contest is held at Wachuset MTN here in the great north east. John is already the World Longboard Slalom Champion and if he wins today it will make him a duel sport World Champion.
Teleboarding is a fast growing offshoot sport combining Alpine snowboard racing and Tele skiing.
During a phone conversation John told me he enjoys the esoteric qualities of Teleboarding as well as explaining to curious onlookers what the hell he is riding.
Good luck today John and keep us posted.
