The Brits

Have been in Laax for the last week for The Brits (the british snowboard championships). The weather has been soo sunny all week, so the comps have all gone down. It has been a real fun week and successful! as i made the mens finals (top 12) in all 3 events, Big Air, Halfpipe and Slopestyle and took 1 gold and 2 silvers in my age group. The number of riders this year seemed lower although the standard of riding has shot through the roof, double corks landed in big air and slopestyle, plus Dom and Ben trying them in pipe. I was so happy to land some of my best tricks this week, fs9 in the pipe being my highlight, it was only me and Ben Kilner (Olympian and halfpipe winner) to land a 9 in pipe. I will up load a little edit of my week later.. I am off for a few days on a photo shoot this week with Dan Wakeham and then onto the Junior World Championships in Italy next weekend.

New Sponsors, Mayrhofen, Garmisch and UK!

So much to tell you from the last few days!..

I now have new sponsors, O'Neill for clothing and googles, Head for snowboards, bindings, boots, protection and helmet. My new kit..



I have been in Mayrhofen this week with British Freestyle Team, was really good weather for hitting the big jumps, trying fs9's, bs7's, sbs5's and sbs7's.. was real good sessions going down with Nelson pratt doing double rodeo and Jack shack giving them go and Sam Turnbull trying double 10's sick! shame the jumps were closed the last day as they were getting ready for the wangle tangle.. we all went out for a meal one night, it was a meat feast, 16 euros each for huge plate and meats and chips and veg!



fs9 in mayrhofen..


Friday we went to Garmisch in Germany for the Ride Shakedown, setup looked good with big air jump and rail in the olmypic ski jump arena. It was a bit strange though run in was long and fast with big right hand turn before hitting the jump, was difficult to judge the speed each time. Didnt go well for me, big shout out to Jamie though who took 2nd place in the rail jam and 1st place in the slopestyle..

Now back in the UK for a few days, as i received a sports aid grant through Asda and are going to a training workshop with them on Monday.. then it back out to Laax for The Brits..

czech republic




Spent the weekend in the czech republic for a europa cup, in practice i fell on my back again!! DOH!!! didn't do the comp that day or the next so me and my dad went on an adventure and found a one man chair lift thought we would have a run down but it wasn't what we expected!! it was a long way! the snow wasnt great and to get down we walked through the woods and a stream and then after struggling to find the start of the chair we found it in a derelict apartment block looking place!! was fun though! The czech have veg for breakfast and only meat and potato for dinner! i had goulash 5 times in 3 days!! now in courchevel resting my back.
Off to mayrhoffen next week and the Laax to get ready for The Brits.
