Derren Brown, Scotland, Majorca, Stubai, Forrest.

After the end of the winter in Courchevel, i have been on my travels. First stop was Scotland, then Majorca, Austria, UK & France.

The start of my travels was to go and see Derren Brown Live in Milton Keynes, it was awesome the tricks he was doing were insane! cheers Damon & Sue for sorting the tickets, then straight from the show me and my dad drove through the night up to Scotland to ride a half pipe and first uk comp it was awesome such a fun day riding just messing about in the sun with your mates in a stunt ditch! haha plus got the title of the first uk pipe comp champion! and a season pass for Cairngorms! stocked! spent the following week in Scotland at the Trinders house doing my Level 1&2 coaching course.

Halfpipe in Scotland!

From Scotland I flew to Majorca for the end of season Pleisure staff trip, got a lot of funny looks going through the airport with my board bag ha! fun few days in the sun, jumping off cliffs, sunbathing, drinking sangria in the all inclusive bar and going to one of the best beach bars where there was a rich german who must of been about 65 with about 15 girls in bikinis in there 20's! lucky guy! he must of had a big…. BOAT!


After flying back home i got the train to Austria, to ride the jumps at Stubai for 2 days, whilst there i witnessed history in the making Katie O landing the first ever BS double 1080 in womens snowboarding!

Then i travelled to UK with my parents in Forrest!


Stopped off at Champagne to visit the Merciers cellars couldn't believe how big it was, 18km long!!

We drove to Ashford for a couple of days shopping, got suited ready for friends wedding in the summer!
Then headed across to Cornwall and stayed in mates new house! fun few days on the coast, looking for treasure in caves, got stuck on a rock when the tide came in… got to meet up with a few of the O'Neill guys in the Big O'Neill bus near Newquay, it was so sick the inside was all old wood / pallets and the seats were made from wetsuits! they were doing a photo shoot which funny enough Dan Wakeham and Nick Atkins were doing so was good to see them and get in a few photos! this was to promote the O'Neill summer tour, check it out and go and see the sick bus for yourself.. Link to Tour info


From Newquay we headed to St Ives, met up with friends, more beach walking and sand dune jumping!


We got the ferry back to France from Plymouth. In Blois we went to the house of magic where the building comes to life every hour on the hour with dragons coming out of the windows!

Final stop was the beaujolais wine area where we visited a Goerge Dubeuof vineyard and his Hameau du Vin. Was really cool with 3d cinema, interactive stuff and wine tasting!

Now back in couch for the summer, bring on the volleyball!!
