I just bought new lego. Snowboarding Lego! And since I haven't bought any new lego for over 10 years, I thought it deserved a webpage, especially since it's snowboarding stuff. | |
How cool is this? 2 little lego snowboarders, and a terrain park for them to play in. Apparently it's one of the new Gravity Sports series, which leads me to believe it features the use of Gravity. As far as I know, they also have Ice Hockey, Basketball, Soccer and Skateboarding. |

You can see here, the way it has little launcher-tray thingos, to start the snowboarders from, and a little ramp you can flip too. If I bought the other snowboarding half-pipe lego set, and the skateboard bowl, I could join all three together to form.... SUPER TERRAIN PARK - with a half-pipe and table-top. I only think it'd be worth it if the other 2 sets were free. The snowboarder in the half-pipe set does look cooler than my slalom guys though...I'd like to buy the Sports Commentators set, as depicted in the bottom right corner, but I don't think it exists in real life :( |

First thing I did was put the little guys together. How cool are they ?!
Racing Bibs, Goggles, Helmets and wicked-ass boards |
|
They can ride goofy and do front-grabs |
|
They can ride straight and do back-grabs(my macro-shooting abilities seem to be a little lacking too) |
|
They can even ride their boards like toboggans! |
|
After following the instructions like a little kid - carefully counting the little lego-lumps, I had a fully assembled snowboarding terrain park. |
|
With the little movable launch-stalls |
|
and flippy-ramps to jump off and get some serious air |
|
I did have some pieces left over though.The bits on the right are obviously spares, since they're the little easy-to-lose type of pieces. On re-reading the instructions, the red piece is used when I want to build the alternate set - which is a see-saw type arrangement where the whole terrain park rocks left and right on the big support legs. I don't think I'll be building that one. The blue piece however, is a mystery. It's not used in the instructions anywhere, and it's a fairly specific type of piece, so I really don't know why I have it |
|
Here they are, ready to race! |
|
Come on down little boarders! |
|
| Hrrm, that's not how it works - Ouch! | |
| Do these Lego Gravity Games even work? | |
|
Ahh, there we go! Ride little dude, ride the powder! |
|
| Oww, he caught an edge | |
| Time for a 1 on 1 race | |
| Blue wins again! | |
| Time for Red to get some air-time | |
| "Is that a challenge?" counters Blue | |
I wonder who's hurting more, Red with a broken back, or Blue who's just face-planted |
|
Time to go rebuild my ambulance and paramedic lego guys |
