It Was not my best session. I went bombing down. hit some slow snow or something...got to the top of the kicker...and just STOPPED! I just..kind of.. popped in to the top of the airbag sad

So went back to the rails & the other lil kicker for the rest of the night and learnt my new trick smile

Hit the Airbag up a couple of times on Saturday but because the snow was running sl sad

couldnt get alot of speed (even flat lining from the top!) so busted out a couple of desparate 180's (barely reaching the airbag) and went back off to The flatdown smile

Why do you snowboard or ski?
Well .. Dad quit paintball and we decided to do a new sport together .. snowboarding.
Then Iwent on a xscape summer camp and learnt to ski and blade but we won't talk about that :0D

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
I'm confused.. what the hells a wood chuck ? and why would it want to chuck wood even if a wood chuck could chuck wood ..Huh??

What’s the worse trick – you know the one that makes you go …STOP IT !!
50/50. Dad beats me when I get home for it.

Tell us about your best experience, the most fun or exciting thing you’ve done, on the snow or off the snow?
When we went to kicking horse in Canada and dad LOST me.. Pretty much from the top of the hill. Couldn't find which side of the mountain we were heading to, went through the tiniest tree runs . Unfortunately I didn't see a bear :(

Nuffin scares me. I'm rok 'ard I am..

What else do you do? – you can’t shred the rad all the time – do you have any other hobbies or interests ?
Tried wakeboarding nearly broke my arms. Want to jump out of a plane but I'm too young so started Airkix every month . Learning to fly on my back :D

Every one wants to learn new tricks…How do you go about learning a new trick? Any advice you can give other riders?
I ride with alot of good people which always helps, they push me and give me some advice, then put my headphones in and gooo!

Favourites time….what’s your favourite breakfast, your favourite pair of shoes,
your favourite music, favourite hat, and favourite day of the week and favourite computer game.

How many comps have you entered and what was your most memorable?
Which one would you like to forget?
Too many and not enough. My First ever AIM series. Entered the boardercross and slopestyle and placed in both.

Being on our team means your pretty good – but what would you like to achieve with your riding? Are you going to be a competition winner or the camera man’s favourite?
I want to do seasons and live in the mountains. Camera man's favourite of course.

Out of all the places you may have been in the world…where’s your favourite? Where would you like to go the most?
Favourite place was Andorra. Stepped out the back door of the hotel and strapped in straight in to the park. Would love to visit Whistler cause every one thats been there says it sick!

And the last one – if you were given £1000…what would you do with it?
