Surf, Snow and Skate From Around the World

Coming Soon to ridingboards.com...

Coming Soon...

ridingboards.com is very new and we've been working really hard recently just to get it up and running. As we developed it to where it is now, we had tons of ideas that we simply haven't had the time to implement, so here's what's on the horizon for ridingboards.com...

Manage Your Videos

At the moment you can upload videos to your YouTube account through ridingboards.com. When you upload, you can include title, description, descriptive tag words, and you can add the video to one of your trips but you can’t edit these things later, unless you go to YouTube to do it.

This new "Manage Your Videos" feature will allow you to browse through the videos you’ve uploaded here and to edit their titles, descriptions and tags, or delete them altogether. It will also make it simpler for you to add your previously uploaded videos to the trips you create.

Upload and Manage Your Photos

All of the photos on ridingboards.com are taken from the publicly viewable photos on Picasa Web Albums. This new feature will allow you to upload photos to your Picasa Web Albums account, create new albums and organise you photos within ridingboards.com. As with the videos, photos uploaded here will be highlighted in the listings.

Members Videos

Because ridingboards.com is so new, there haven’t been many videos uploaded through the site yet. This means that if we had "Recent Uploads" or "Members’ Videos" pages, you’d get a bit annoyed with all the blank space! We’ll add these pages to the site as soon as we’re getting a steady flow of uploads.

Members Photos

As above, but with photos, obviously! This will take a little longer, as we have to develop the photo upload and management feature first (see "Upload and Manage Your Photos", above).

The future of ridingboards.com trips…

We’re planning some big improvements to the way you create and share trips on ridingboards.com. Here are some of the features we’re planning:

Photos

We’re working on a photo upload feature, to allow you to upload photos to your Picasa Web Albums (Google) account, and sort them into various albums (see “Upload and Manage your Photos” above for details).

As soon as we’ve done this, we’ll incorporate this feature into ridingboards.com trips, so that you’ll be able to add a Picasa Web Albums photo album to each place on your trip. For example: if you have a surf trip and one of the places on that surf trip is Surfing in Bali, you’ll be able to create an album of your own photos of surfing in Bali and add it to that place.

We hope that this feature will make ridingboards.com Trips more flexible and more personal to you.

Trip Planner

We’ll be gradually building a trip planner into the trips section. This will mean you can use ridingboards.com to plan your real life boardriding trips and use it as a space to put your possible flights, accommodations, destinations and all the other research that you do when planning a trip. You’ll also be able to include other people, so that you can plan trips together.

Facebook

We’re also planning to integrate ridingboards.com with Facebook, allowing you to link to your Facebook account and making it easier for you share your ridingboards.com Trips with your Facebook friends. This will allow you to share your private, unpublished trips (but only the ones you choose) on Facebook and will also include a feature for creating collaborative trips.
