Plans for the winter 2011/2012

February 2012-Start of feb Ripped open my box arrived by courier...yep its my new kit. A 152 Machette and a 147 Kink stoked on this years graphix! Long weekend this weekend so heading up Glenshee from Monday to Wednesday to test out my new boards.

Feb 18/19th Training with Team GB, Ben Kinnear is our coach, well looking forward to that!

to date- Looking forward to meeting up with Billy in Laax for the BEO, first time competing there...so just going to ride my best and represent! I'll only be home 3 weeks then Ill be heading back to Laax for the British Championships (and to hang with Will and the crew at the RIDE tent )

No time for school....just shreddin' !

January 2012- Found out that I've been lucky enough to be selected to compete in the Burton European next month and enjoyed a rad trip to Avoriaz with Jamie Trinder, Henry Shakleton and Just snowboard Camps, an amazing week of snowy days- got front flips off the bench in the stash dialled .........and the stash is sick! Im definitely going back to Avoriaz.

December 2011- Start of the month I made up my RIDE wishlist from the 2013 catalog soo much to chose from....Christmas got a Banshee Bungee, stoked but no snow in Scotland to have an urban sesh so flinging myself up my drive is quite good fun for now.
Scottish Invitational was a good sesh on princess street, some rad rail shredding going on that day.
Also attended my 1st Team GB training camp held in Glasgow trained by Ben Kinnear, a day at Sno Zone working on technical shizzle followed by a kicker sesh on the Sunday at Bearsden and a sesh at the gym - tiring weekend but enjoyed it.

October 2011- Flew to London again to meet Travis Rice at the Art of Flight premiere, he's a nice guy Billy Morgan was there too....and Billy - he just wanted to touch Travis ! Earned the nickname Lego from Billy who said I have hair like a lego man.. I've been given Scottish Elite status and Elite Team Gb Status...stoked with that!

September 2011- I flew to London to compete in the London Invitational at Earls Court, which was a huge sno flex kicker/hip. Id never hit anything like it before but it was sick. Riding with top 10 boarders from the British Championships was rad.

I've also been invited out to Just snowboard camps http://www.just-snowboard.com which is a camp out in Morzine which Quiksilver are involved in. I'll be the guest rider for the week, stoaked! So trying to figure out which dates fits in with the rest of my plans.

December - Received confirmation of a support grant from Dr Hellen Reith's Trust - stoaked!  Thank you!

Some older stuff .........

October 20th-22nd
Brits London Invitational-  I was invited as one of Britain's top 10 snowboarders to compete in the Invitational held in London's Earls Court during the 2011 ski and snowboard show.  Me and my mum flew down to London on Thursday 20th October and made our way to take a look at the  snowflex kicker hip I would be competing on the next day.  The kicker was huge, Spencer Claridge, the organiser let me  walk up the 81 steps to reach the top to scope it out.   I met up with David Bilsland, wandered round the show went on the bucking bronco and watched the one and only James Thorne entertain the crowds (dressed as wonderwoman) commentating on the fancy dress demo on the hip kicker. 

  On the Friday morning I got to hit the kicker for a few practice runs, after a few straight airs I got the hang of it and everyone was stoaked. There was a good Scottish crew there representing  and it was good to ride with my quiksilver team mate Billy Morgan . It was rad to finally meet  James Stentiford from Quiksilver and he gave me a Travis Rice jacket!  The qualifers came and we had 2 runs each.  For my first run I did a huge method and my 2nd a  backside 7 which unfortunately didn't go the way Id practiced it.

 Met some rad new people and saw some bangin tricks being thrown down during the day.  Congrats to Sparrow Knox who won ! The whole event was amazing such a good day. Cheers Spencer !

wednesday 12th october- Its the RIDE board test, with Granite Reef at  snowsport centre today so I headed down to the slope to meet up with Will Lenton from RIDE and help him set up.  The board test started at 1pm and David Wallace and the student guys were trying out next seasons boards, freestyle night started at 5pm so we were busy all evening til closing time.    Matt Burt from RIDE was there too it was rad catching up with him.  Huge thanks to Matt who gave me my sponsorship with RIDE a few years back.  Will and Sophie Addison came back after the boardtest, will stayed overnight.  The next morning I went with Will to Granite Reef to do the staff training which was good to hear all the technical stuff and get to see Matt and Will before they headed off.
