Vals Senales Rookie camp, R.I.P Nelson

The past week and a bit i have been at Vals Senales in italy on the Rookie camp was a good few days over there met so many cool people which i hope to see again some time!
 

 On the hill they had a good set up although i didnt get to hit the big jump because the first couple of days i had a really bad sunburn on the back of my legs which had scabbed up so couldnt really walk let alone ride! when my legs got better the weather and snow wasnt so good to get the speed for them, so i stuck to small line you could do 7s so was working on my sb7 and rail setup :)




  The Saturday i got picked up two friends from Courchevel came over to ride for the day as it was one of there birthdays, good day on the hill and then on the way back we stopped off in Chamonix to skate the new bowl, i struggled to skate as i was tired from a long day and week. 




I would also like to say a few words for a friend that has just passed away, Nelson Pratt. I remember the first time that i meet Nelson it was about 4years ago he picked me up in his old land rover from Moutiers and drove me over to Innsbruck to train with the gb team,  he was such a nice guy always with a smile on his face never complained really polite and great snowboarder, always stoked to be riding... he was the nicest person i have ever met. Sooo Sad
