He opened his first snow gear store on Durham Street South in 2010 and used the Christchurch School of Gymnastics gym facilities. MONIQUE STEELE/FAIRFAX NZBesley said customers often spent around six hours at the X-Ten Collective on Brougham Street, which has the Snow Xchange snow gear store, the Projekt X Espresso cafe, the X-Ten Academy training arm and the gym. In 2013, X-Ten Collective opened at 387 Brougham Street with the store, gym and cafe all-in-one. At Christchurch's X-Ten Collective, trainers are teaching amateurs how to do flips and tricks on the two Olympic-size trampolines and the ramps which end in a foam pit.
