Welcome to WarwickSnow, the University of Warwick Snowsports club. We are one of the largest and most active clubs on campus. With two trips each year taking over 700 students away to the Alps and an extremely active social calendar, there really is something for everyone!
Our club caters for skiers and boarders of all levels, we make lessons available at local snow domes for complete beginners and everyone is welcome to train for racing where we compete against other universities in the UK.

The Scratch Perverts originally consisted of 4 members: Tony Vegas, Renegade, First Rate and Mr Thing. They later expanded to an 8-member crew with the addition of Prime Cuts, Harry Love, Killa Kela and Plus One. The collective split for a short period in 2000, then reformed with just 3 members: Tony Vegas, Prime Cuts and Plus One.
Scratch Perverts have garnered widespread acclaim. The team won the first DMC Team championships in 1999, claiming it again in the 'Perverted Allies' alias (a fusion of the Perverts and the Allies DJ crews). Additionally Prime Cuts claimed 2 consecutive ITF World Scratching titles, first beating A-Trak in Hawaii in 1999 and then defending the title in Los Angels the following year. Plus One won the Vestax battle in 2000, not begetting his returning the DMC World crown to the UK after a hiatus of 10 years. Their technical contributions include the 'feedback' technique and the Euro scratch amongst others.
They have now retired indefinitely from competition and gone on to regular live DJing, touring around the world & holding a residency at Fabric in London. They have also gone on to producing their own music, describing hip hop as being "a celebration of all kinds of music just by its very nature". Scratch Perverts are also notable for their adoption of drum and bass, Dubstep and Crack House, and featured as a contributing artist in the new Activision music game, DJ Hero.
