Tux, Pleasure Jam, home in Courch

My last few days in Tux were good, snow was amazing, although only 1 sunny day so spent most of the time hitting the rail line, did manage on the good day to land a fs1080!

Slashing the powder filled pipe! with Rowbag and the Kern, cheers for pic Trinder!



Was a sick month riding with these guys, hopefully same again soon..


We all headed over to the O'Neill Pleasure Jam in Dachstein Austria, was fun park and comp was good. Landed my first run and then sketched a bit on my 2nd really stoked though as i landed a sb9 in my run and have never done that before :)

Straight after the O'Neill Pleasure Jam, me, Jamie trinder and Nate kern headed to Munich and home.. on the way we went to the Red Bull Hangar 7 at Salzburg airport, if you haven't heard of this place it is amazing, museum with everything to do with Red Bull, cars, planes, even Felix Baumgartner capsule and suit..


and then it has an awesome bar overlooking the museum, that does Smart food that is soo good and all served in glasses, menus for brain, beauty and mood. You get 3 courses and a drink, amazing..


Got back home to Courch and snow in town! hit up a hand rail


and also found a little street slopestyle line that we shaped was super fun, roller to skip rail to quarter.. 


Can't wait, i leave for The O'Neill Shoreditch Showdown in London on Thursday and then of to America!

Saas-Fee, Hintertux & Stubai

My winter season started earlier in October..

1st stop for me was Saas Fee in Switzerland, to ride pipe, it was sick soo stocked to get back into it, was only there for a short stay, now cant wait to ride pipe again will have to wait until December!


From Saas Fee i headed across to Austria and Hintertux, the best place this time of year for jumps, was a fun few weeks with loads of Team GB out here. and rocking my new O'Neill outerwear which is siiick!


Last week there was a comp at Hintertux, the Zillertal Valley Rally, stoked that i won best trick with a switch backside 900! and also big shout out to my Team GB riding buddies Jamie Trinder & Rowan Coultas for taking 2nd & 3rd in the slopestyle comp.


The judges faces when i threw the best trick!! And the video of the comp with me at 3:44


I have also been over to Stubai a couple of times, me and Jamie went over for opening day, set up was real good. Then last week i was back there for a photoshoot for Head's new products, was fun and hopefully got some shots that will be used in the catalogues / website.

I am still out in Austria, now just me, Jamie Trinder & Nate Kern riding as much as we can when the weather is good! has not been this last week!!


Have also been skating when i can, this is in the indoor Innsbruck skatepark


Later this week is the O'Neill Pleasure Jam at Dachstein Glacier Austria, this is always a real good early season comp, high standard with loads of the top riders there and the first big event on the World Snowboard Tour. Hopefully the weather and winds are good, as it is prone to being real bad weather up on this glacier!! and that us Brits kill it again over there!!

I will then be heading back home to Courch for week or so before going to the UK for an awesome looking event that O'Neill are putting on in London and i am stoked to have an invite for..


A fun few weeks coming up!.. check back to see how it goes..
