British Freeski ‘camper’ of the Year!

Me with coaches Becky and Andy Bennett

Hi guys

So recently I was awarded ‘Camper Of The Year’ by British Freeski Camps. I was presented with a pair of Faction Kennedy skis, a Faction jacket, Faction ski pants and a British Freeski Camps t-shirt.

I would like to thank every one at British Freeski Camps for nominating me and presenting me with such amazing prizes. I’ve had my Marker Griffon bindings mounted and really enjoyed riding them at Snozone, Castleford.

Over the year I’ve really enjoyed getting coached by Beckyand Andy Bennett and everyone else over at British Freeski Camps at Halifax and Rossendale. I feel that I’ve improved a lot and i can’t wait to put these new skills into practice during the British Indoor Slopestyle Championships (The Brits) next month.

Again thanks to Ski Olympic for their sponsorship

Hi guys,

I haven’t competed in a while but I’ve still been doing a lot of skiing! I’ve been at place such at Halifax, Castleford, Gloucester, Rossendale, Tamworth and Hemel.

I’ve been getting a lot of coaching at Halifax (Joe Tyler) and Rossendale (British Freeski Camps). Then I’ve just been having some fun sessions up at the other places.

At Gloucester there was an air bag where I attempted my first backflip and 720! It was a fun day and I can’t wait to get up there again to try some more tricks into the air bag.

Unfortunately I’ve recently cracked the edge of my Armada Bdog’s which means that they are not very suitable for hitting rails, this has meant that I’m now riding on a pair of Armada Alpha X’s and I’m so happy with them!

English Slopestyle Championships 2015

A ‘clean’ 3 off the kicker

Hi guys

On Saturday I competed in the English Slopestyle Championships at Chill Factore in Manchester. It was very enjoyable day and everyone did very well.

Chillin’ with my mates

We started off with a 2 hours practise trying to get as many runs in as possible and get 2 runs ready for the qualification round. Next was the qualifications where everyone had to do two runs each, the top 12 made the finals.
Unfortunately I didn’t make the finals but I was only a few points away from it.

Gas Pipe!

Overall I came 16th out of 40 In the males skier and I am so happy with my results and already looking forward to the next competition.

Rail Work!

Thanks to Ski Olympic for their support.

Me and Woodsy

Hi guys, recently I’ve been attending the Salomon Grom Camps getting coached by Pat Sharples, Becky Bennett, Josh Fawcett, Katie Summerhayes and James ‘Woodsy’ Woods.

It’s been so good learning new tricks. I’ve learned front surface switch up, switch on front two out of the pipes and also switch on front swap out of the pipes. Then sessions so far have been at Chill Factore and Tamworth Snow Dome.

A big thank you to all the coaches for there help and I can’t wait for the ones in the future.

K-Jam 2015

Grab on the roller!

Hi guys, I recently competed in K-jam 2015 at Kendal Snowsports Club.

It was an extremely good day and super fun. It started off with the main jam, everyone was throwing down hard but when it came to the final, only very few of us got through……………..and i made it to the final!

Concentration on a rail!

In the final everyone kept jamming and the judges took in the scores. Unfortunately i didn’t podium but well done to Justin Taylor-Tipton, Tom Greenway and Arthur Holmes who took 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the under 16 age category (my category).

Overall it was a great day and i was just supper stoked to be able to reach the finals!

Thanks always to the team at Ski Olympic for their ongoing support.

British Freeski Camps

Hi guys recently I’ve been to two British Freeski Camps being coached by Becky Bennett and Tyler Harding.

The first session was at Halifax. It was a good day and i was practising my grabs off the big kicker for half the session. The second half of the session i was practising my 360 so the they were perfect before i take them to 540.

The second session was at Rossendale. It was a very fun day and my first ever time at Rossendale. i was so happy that i was doing my 360 off the big kicker and landing them!

Happy to say i’m now landing my 540’s and looking forward to taking them on to bigger kickers.

I was stoked that i had this opportunity and i hope i get more opportunities like this in the future.
