I think, that in Kiev snowboarding is on a very low level. It's obvious. There are no places for developing your skills. If you live in Kiev, for example, & you can't go to Karpatians or elsewhere in winter. So you have to find some places for snowboarding in the city or nearby. But what you see is only wild slopes full of stones, some metal parts or any other trash. Those slopes are only partly covered with snow. One the other hand you have Protasov Yar with the slope almost fully covered with snow. But this place is absolutely NOT FOR SNOWBOARDING. It's for skiers. If you ever been to Protasov Yar you know what am I talking about. You are not allowed to make anything for jumping, grinding or whatever. And besides all staff is awful. They are rude, unpolite, vulgar etc. etc. Now we're coming to the conclusion that there're no places for real snowboarding in Kiev. So many people can't develope their skills. And that is why we have no good riders and it seems that wouldn't have in nearest time.
Thank you
