With my collarbone healing well and doctors giving me go ahead to get back back snowboarding i headed to the board test for the week, was fun got to see loads of people hadn't seen in ages and the park was good.

The week after the board test i went to Corvatch / St Moritz with Rowan Coltas, Jamie Nicholls, Jamie Trinder, Ben Kilner, Billy Morgan and Katie Ormerod. Our coach Hamish Mcknight had set up an airbag training session, not only that it was our own private resort with lift just open for us and a good jump setup up to airbag and normal and normal landing so we could try things and take to normal jump. It was a sick week just trying what you wanted into the bag and you wouldnt get hurt, i learnt fs under flips and also tried rodeos and double under flips, it was the first time i have been inverted off a big jump and it was the first time i had tried those tricks so it was an amazing week, loads of fun, but was really tiring, i was suprised how much falling takes out of you hahaha, the shoulder was all good though, cant wait for more summer riding now.
