1st Place at Scottish Indoor Freestyle Championships
Recently I travelled up to Glasgow in Scotland to compete in the Scottish Indoor Freestyle Championships. The set up was amazing and the slope was groomed to perfection! We only had 2 runs to make an impression and I threw down a run which I am very proud of!
At prize giving I received a bag of goodies and a gold medal as I had come 1st in youth men’s!
The following day I found out that I had also come 1st overall!
A great end to my weekend! 
Big thanks to Jeff Menday and Liz Cordingley for getting me all the way to Scotland
SNO!down
Yesterday we made the long journey to Castleford for the 3rd annual SNO!down. The SNO!down is always a relaxed comp which means that everyone is in their comfort zone for most of the time!
The set up this year was sick and everyone was throwing down in the jam! The team event was so much fun as usual! People were coming up with the craziest ideas like jumping over people, skiing with their sleeves tied together and with their jumpers on backwards!
At prize giving I got awarded 1st place in the under 16’s category! I was completely stoked!
Congratulations to my team mate Sam Gaskin on getting 2nd place in the under 12’s
Can’t wait for next year!
SnowTrax Jam – 1st Place
We went to the SnoTrax slope in Christchurch for Air Attack! – their first ever competition on a new type of matting called pro-slope.
The Proslope is definitely a lot different to any other dryslope matting I have ever skied on. It’s a lot softer underfoot than perma snow and snoflex and the upside is that it doesn’t seem to burn out your bases. When you crash it doesn’t hurt which is definitely a bonus when your trying new tricks! It is also very good for getting up speed and just for general all round skiing as well as freestyle! The only downside is that there aren’t enough slopes in the country with this matting!!
The competition got off to a good start with a warm up session and then straight into the jam itself. It was a fun, relaxed competition and was a great start to the summer (in the rain!!!)
At the end of the day we had the presentation in the clubhouse and I was stoked to get 1st place and land some hard cash too!!
Thanks to Darren and the rest of the team for laying down a great competition! You can read the full write up here!
