Roxy Chicken Jam 2010

2010-01-09T07:08:00.000-08:00

First contest of the 2010 season, I went to Avoriaz France for a week with family which was really fun just cruising around and getting back into riding after my but injury! I drove with Gilly Seagrave from Morzine to Saalbach Hinterglum for 10 hours to the Roxy Chicken Jam in Austria. I am staying with all the Roxy girls, have had a great few days riding and today was the semi finals. I finished in 11th place which is my best result to date in a 6* TTR. That has put me in TTR ranking numero 12, stoked! My run consisted of a switch boardslide on the rainbow box into a backflip, into a back 3 mute, then into a nollie front flip off the up box! Shout out to Enni Rukajärvi, who is killing it and finished in 1st place! Hopefully I will have some more pictures to go up after the event! For now here is a picture of me and my girl Silje Norendal on the poma, now it is time to party, and then heading to the European Open tomorrow, ROAD TRIP!

Hello from snowy France

2010-01-04T06:12:00.000-08:00

Hey I am currently in France on a family skiing holiday, it has been really cool to cruise around. The rest of the GB team arrived yesterday and it's dumping today here in Morzine, the snow has not been too great with small jumps so hoping they will make the park better after the snow fall. I rode some powder pipe with the team today! In a couple of days I am heading over to Austria for the Roxy Chicken Jam which should be really good fun to see the rest of the roxy girls and ride some good jumps. Will keep you posted on the journey over to Austria and how I get on in the contest.
Peace

Woodward edit

2009-12-22T06:40:00.000-08:00

On my way home from Colorado now, currently stuck in Scotland, random eh?! , ended up having to take another flight from London to Glasgow, then to Belfast just to get home because of the 2 inches of snow in England, travel is manic!

The Woodward edit is now finished, check out the Jones, Lisa, Cherly, Lesley and myself in action! hope you guys like it! First off we had to do the introduction, "safety" learning how to fall into the foam pits, forward rolls, real basic stuff! Stay watching though to see rodeo's, doubles from all of the girls! We had soo much fun there and I felt I learned loads, can't wait to get back on my board now and ride a decent powder so I can try some of the new things I learned!

Double Backflips

2009-12-13T15:36:00.001-08:00

Having an awesome time here in the US, have been going to Woodward lots and learned something new, Double Backflip! I went with Jenny on a mission to try it tied onto a suspended rope , we both really got into the session and learned it on the trampoline, so stoked as we both stomped them! We are putting together an edit from Woodward and that will be up on the Cooler website soon so will keep you posted on that. For now just check this very short clip...

Christmas is getting close now, we bought a really cute real tree for our apartment out here in Frisco, looking forward to getting back home to see friends and family!

Cheryl, Myself and the Jones at Keystone

Bruised Coccyx!

2009-12-07T10:18:00.000-08:00

It's snowing today here in Frisco whoo, just about to go shopping at the outlets in Keystone for some crimbo bargains! I have not ridden for a week as the 3rd day I overshot a kicker at Keystone to the flat so now I have a lovely big bruise on my Coccyx! Really hope I can get back on my board sometime this week as the pipe is perfect in Copper and I can't wait to start training again. We went to Woodward the other day, the place is amazing. I got through the induction just struggled with the forward rolls! But we rode the snowflex kicker and that was quite low impact on my backside as it is into a foam pit,never ridden snoflex before so that was a different experience!

The BASI Crew!

I have finally finished my Level 2 instructor course I am now officially a BASI Level 2 instructor! It has been a long but also fun 2 weeks. I flew over to Colorado yesterday, I'm here with some GB team mates and a few of the Roxy girls. I rode up at Copper today was so much fun! Really looking forward to checking out Woodward,it is this indoor training facility with trampolines, foam pits and an indoor skatepark hopefully going to have an induction there this week can't wait!

BASI course

2009-11-18T11:55:00.000-08:00

In Zermatt at the moment, I am taking my Level 2 snowboard instructor course, going well just a little bit tedious when there is powder like this to be had! Had a sneaky run first thing this morning...

Dachstein

2009-11-15T08:09:00.000-08:00

Despite the wind and poor visibility up on the Hintertux Glacier, we managed to squeeze in a couple of good kicker days to get some practice before the Horsefeathers Pleasure jam. I found out the day before I had a starting position so myself, Jamie Nicholls aka PJ, Jack Shackelton and Lewis Courtier-Jones headed over to Schladming to hit up the 4* TTR Event.

The park was awesome, really nice floaty kickers, on Qualification day the women only got one run qualification due to bad visibility and high wind up on the Dachstein glacier. I stomped my first qualification run so that put me in a good position for the following day where we had our 2^nd run. I stepped it up a notch and qualified in 4^th place for the finals. In the finals I didn’t manage to lay down my tricks as planned, I finished up in 9^th place so it wasn’t to bad for the first contest of the season. This put me at #16 in the World TTR Ranking. Check out the Whitelines review here.

At the moment I am currently on the train in the middle of the Alps traveling from Jenbach, Austria to Zermatt Switzerland. In total my journey should take around 8 hours, which isn’t too bad! Time for a break! I am heading to Zermatt to complete my level 2 BASI Instructor course.

GB Team in Hintertux

2009-11-07T11:54:00.000-08:00

Out in Hintertux, for a week for some more pre-season training, I am here with the GB Freestyle team the calendar looks pretty full so looking forward to getting things underway, the rest of the team arrived today so we went into town and hit up the skatepark and trampolines for a session.

London Freeze

2009-11-02T15:36:00.000-08:00

This past weekend has been crazy, I had soo much fun. The finals of both the Snowboarding and Skiing were insane in fact I have never seen a skiing final quite like it. My friend Silje from Norway came over and we got down to some serious shopping on Oxford Street on Friday and chilled out for a few days at the London Freeze promoting the new JBL Roxy headphones, it involved a lot of dancing at our own silent disco! Check out the dude in the pink he was rocking. The public were loving it.

On the Sunday evening at the last minute I entered into the Burton rail jam for some fun, thanks to TSA for hooking me up with a complete set up so I could ride in the jam as I had no kit with me, was well worth it as I won an awesome LG touch screen phone, for doing a 5050 Fron

tflip out. The box was super fun and some crazy tricks were going down, Kim Rune Hansen threw down a front flip onto the box and front flip off, AMAZING

My new phone...

Also thanks

to Rowntree's for hooking me up with a massive box of their new Randoms, good stocking filler for my bro! best candy ever, pretty random eh! Snowboarding and Candy???!

Muskoka Crusing

2009-10-22T03:39:00.000-07:00

Just made this small edit of me wakeboarding in Canada a week before I went to NZ, one lap cruising around Muskoka lakes, soo much fun, would love to get into wakeboarding some more next summer.

2009-10-21T00:34:00.000-07:00

The Roxy camp has now finished :( had such a fun week but the good news is I have moved into an apartment with a few other girls, and I am staying here in Saas Fee for another week riding, we are making a fun edit of our shred sessions this week. Guess what happens next? ---> Check back for the video next week to see what happens!

Bad weather

2009-10-14T12:46:00.000-07:00

The glacier was closed for 2 days in a row, crazy winds, so we entertained ourselves by hiking up to the top gondola station to get the most amazing view of Saas Fee, on our journey up we came across some sheep! It was so much fun, singing on the way up to some crazy French techno! which I was introduced to by Silje, check her blog...

We spent the rest of the day cruising in the skate-park.

Today the mountain was open, really good conditions just really icy. After our session on the mountain we came down for a lifestyle photoshoot with a Roxy Photographer, which was fun but we were freezing! Can't believe how cold it is here, its meant to be -14 on the mountain tomorrow.

SAAS FEE

2009-10-11T13:24:00.000-07:00

I travelled to Saas Fee in Swiss land yesterday, the journey was great apart from having to pay for my board bag on both flights gutted! I am on the Roxy Snow camp, staying in the Roxy room it's awesome. Having fun with all the girls! Went up the mountain yesterday, amazing weather just a tad icy. Today the mountain was shut due to heavy winds and an early season snowfall so we had fitness! Check out our sexy hair-bands.

Will keep you posted on what we are up to this week.

TRAVELING BACK AND FOURTH

2009-10-04T12:44:00.000-07:00

I had my first day at Uni on Friday, I flew over to Bristol then got the train into Bath! Everyone was soo friendly and I am super happy as one of my fellow GB team mates Jamie Barrow is studying the same course as me, it is a complete coincidence as we discovered each other in the lecture room. It's great to have someone there that I know as I am studying as a part-time student so I will be attending when I am not snowboarding. I am looking forward to making the most of the facilities that Bath Uni has to offer.

On Friday night I flew up to Glasgow for the TSA Big Bang Show at Braehead Xscape. It was a really fun action packed day, with lots of coaching, myself and Lesley taking the Roxy session. I had some free time to cruise the kicker with some of the locals which was fun

. Roxy had one of the coolest stands for sure as we had a chocolate fountain! Check back for the next snowboard show at Milton Keynes for the next all girls Roxy Coaching session and more chocolate fountain action!

I am now home for 5 days, quite a record and then I am off to Saas Fee in Switzerland for the Roxy training camp!

BACK in England

2009-09-27T12:39:00.001-07:00

I have been quite bust the last week, I flew over from Belfast last weekend to London and I went up to Bath University for a few days to check out the campus and the sports facilities. I am now attending there as a part time student studying a Sports Performance degree. I have never been to Bath before and I was really impressed, especially by the shopping!!!! I was loving the Superdry store, we deffinatley need one in BELFAST! <--- Check out the people statues in Bath they literally did not move the whole weekend I was there!

I am just back from Tammworth, this past weekend I spent in a Snowdome, I was in London on Friday checking out the Roxy Office, that was cool to see were all the magic happens! I then travelled with some of the Roxy crew, Michelle and Hannah up to Tammworth Snowdome for the Big Bang TSA show. Other than the fact we got totally lost when we arrived and drived for 40 miniutes in a circle and turned up at someones house rather than the Holiday Inn, we blame it on the TOM TOM. I was runing the all girls Roxy Coaching session, that went really well and all the girls had a great time and learned lots riding the boxes and the wee jump. I will be up in Glasgow next week for the next TSA event, so see you guys there for some more shred action!

Home sweet home....

2009-09-06T15:04:00.001-07:00

I have been home now for just over a week, time fly's! My journey back home was surprisingly good considering the amount of stops I had to make. Queenstown, Christchurch, Sydney, Bangkok, Dubai, London, BELFAST!

It has been pretty hectic since I got home but good fun. Brilliant to see all my family and friends again. Last weekend I spent up at the North Coast surfing, I took part in the Roxy Surf days with a few friends, was also great to catch up with some of my Roxy team mates, (SURFERS)! Candice O'donnell and Sophie Hellyer. Also managed to squeeze in some wakeboarding whilst the girls where over, so we went down to Gaston's boat.

Thanks to Candice and Sophie for the surfing tips! and Troggs surf school for putting on an awesome event.

NZ Winter GAMES PODIUM

2009-08-24T05:38:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a hectic day but super fun. We drove over to Queenstown early morning for the FIS Remarkables NZ Winter games. I had a solid run in the finals which put me into 3rd place, my first podium of the season. The course was very challenging with very whippy takeoffs, one of my friends got concussed on her last run of the slopestlye course so we ended up in the Hospital late last night, the good news is that Britte is now fine after being under the watchful eye for a few hours and was back on the slopes today shredding!

I am really happy with my result and can't wait now until the Northern Hemisphere winter kicks off back in Europe. I have a few pictures here, many thanks to the guys at JDP Images

Jumping from the Sky

2009-08-20T03:27:00.000-07:00

Today I finally had the opportunity to skydive, blue bird skies, and wispy clouds. I had soooo much fun it was such an adrenaline rush, like nothing I have ever felt before. I pretty much screamed the whole way down from the moment we exited the plane, which of course was in style with a backflip! NZ is a beautiful place, the scenery is wild. I had wee Skydive crew with me. Ben from the UK and 3 Norwegian rippers, Lisa, Linn and Helena. I got this awesome video thanks to Sky Dive Lake Wanka which I will show you guys when I have a moment to put it up. Here is a pic of the crew for now...

2009-08-17T04:06:00.000-07:00

Having fun in NZ, I had the NZ open last week which was pretty hectic, that was going really well for me and then the qualifications got cancelled. I was in 4th place and we had to do a rerun 2 days later, I fell in my run doing a backflip so ended up in 28th place! The course is perfect right now as the Open is now over so I am working on perfecting a few tricks. Skydiving tomorrow, will let you know how that goes, can't wait.

Coming up for my 3rd week now in NZ, we had the day off today and went to check out some sights. We climbed up a wee mountain to view Diamond lake and view the rest of Lake Wanaka. It was super warm down in the Valley today so I thought it would be a good idea to get my flip flops out, little did I know I was going to be hiking! My feet are feeling worse for wear now though!

New Zealand

2009-08-03T20:52:00.000-07:00

I am currently in NEW ZEALAND! So happy to be back on the slopes, I had a really good journey here, I flew from Toronto over to Queenstown, the longest flight was 13hours, which in the end was not tooo bad! I slept most of the way! I am here with one of my Roxy team mates, BRITTE VAN DER POUW! We have had an awesome first week, despite some severe winds, really looking forward to riding the kickers the park set up is amazing! Also we have had alot of snow, so we had the opportunity to ride some amazing powder this morning. While I am here I am also hoping to do either some Bungy Jumping or skydiving so I will let you know how that goes

Hey, summer has finally started! I finished my exams last week, the feeling is amazing! I have been raking through some pictures from last summer (08) and I found these motocross pictures. We went back to the USA to visit, and we met up with some old friends and rented out Budds Creek in Virginia, was such a fun day, the heat was insane, hope you like the pics

Brits wrap up

2009-04-04T07:55:00.000-07:00

I have had so much fun the past ten days in Laax, it has been non stop! I took 2 British Championship titles for Halfpipe and Slopestyle, not only have I been competing but I have also progressed a great deal.

I was loving the Halfpipe comp yesterday, the pipe was super slushy due to the blue bird Sky's and super warm weather. It was like glacier shredding. I stomped my run and made it through to the finals to ride in the senior category. I was the only Junior to qualify for the open event, I won my category with a frontside air mute grab, followed by a Mc Twist, a front 3, cab 3, and a HOHO!!! (2 handed hand plant).

In the slopestlye I spun in 3 different directions, backside, frontside and Cab, which I have never done before in competition.

Everyday after the events, prize giving was held down in the town, where they had a massive airbag, and some street rails to session, this was a cool way to end each day!

Day 1 Boardercross

2009-03-30T07:00:00.000-07:00

Today was hectic, clouds where rolling in and out of the boardercross track all day making visibility poor. Boardercross is a race down a vertical decent against 4 other riders. The course was really fun, with a variation of rollers, kickers and berms, the first obstacle was a small but super whippy kicker. I made it through the qualification into 2nd place and won the semi's.

The finals went down with Gemma Marshall in 1st, followed by myself , Becky Cullum in 3rd and Sam Rogers finishing in 4th. I managed to fall on the first kicker, overshooting it and landing to the flat, that put me in last place, I managed to work my way through the field to finish in 2nd place.

overall it was a good day, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the upcoming events this week.

LAAX is where it's at!

2009-03-27T12:55:00.000-07:00

Im here in Laax at the moment for the British Champs, I have been out here for 2 days now and it's aweosme out here, I am here a few days early to get some practice before the start of champs, there is tons of snow for this time of year!

The first day I was ridding with some of the GB guys and we built a powder kicker! I nailed a couple of backflips and attempted a rodeo! Some crazy stuff was going down, double backflips, switch back 9's and Tom Hunt nailed a double front flip. I am really looking forward to the comp next week. Everyone is arriving on the 28th, and then I will then be moving into an apartment with the Roxy girls for the week. Monday it's boardercross, so I will update you then. As for now check this shot of me on the pow kicker!

First ever Roxy Snowboard Camp Morzine

2009-03-11T16:21:00.001-07:00

I deffinatley one the snowball fight

I am back from Morzine, where Roxy hosted the first ever Roxy Ski and Snowboard camp! Lesley Mckenna was head coach, and I was there as assistant coach, I also got a wee bit of ridding in myself before the British Champs in 2 weeks time!

The week was very successful, with Massages, shopping, makeovers and offcourse lots of shredding! we where staying in the most amazing chalet (Star ski chalets) it over looked the whole of Morzine, I think it is perhaps the nicest place I have ever stayed when I have been away in the Mountains :)

It was my first experience of actually teaching snowboarding, and it gave me another perspective of the sport, not only did I get some valuable time coaching, I also gained from my experience of breaking the moves down, then relating it to my own snowboarding.

Mid week Roxy surfer Candice came out to try snowboarding, she picked it up super quickly and we had her going off the jumps on the first day!It was hard to believe she had never been in the mountains before! It was insane how quickly she learned! We had a great time mucking around both up and down the mountain, we had 2 Weetabix competitions, the first was to see who could eat six Weetabix the fastest, unfortunately I lost this by a mouthful as Candice's time was under 2:30's! But for sure I won the dry Weetabix eating contest hands down! So right now it's a draw.

The weather wasn't to great throughout the week, but on the last day it was blue bird, and it had been dumping so I got a few turns and the rest of the girls gave the powder a blast.

There should be a podcast coming out on the week, so check back soon!

GB Junior team trip

2009-02-24T10:52:00.000-08:00

Hello,
I am just back from an epic trip to Avoriaz France, I was out there with the GB Junior team for a week's training. In all it was a really fun trip, I learned loads, and hopefully soon I'm going to put together a GB Junior edit from the week away.
On the 2nd day I had a slight incident with a backflip. I was ridding with GB team mate Dec Power and we decided we where going to backflip the hip in the big park! Dec went first and all was okay, but when it was my turn... I approached the hip with enough speed and got stuck mid way, and landed on my face, other than a really bad head ache all day I was fine, and I guess I learned what you shouldn't do when doing a backflip!
I am just home now and getting back into school, I am away next week starting the 1st of March to help coach on one of the Roxy Snow camps, check out the site

SNOW IN NORTHERN IRELAND ??!!

2009-02-05T12:05:00.000-08:00

Hello, super happy today as we got some snow over here in Belfast, doesn't exactly compare to the snow in mainland Europe. I went up to stormont with a few friends after school, was awesome fun to have snow at home, its pretty rare over here to get snow so pretty much everything came to a standstill! A couple of my friends Purcy and John gave it ago!

here are a few random pics from the Snowfall over here
Enjoy!

I have been home for 3 weeks now, which I guess is a record for the most part of the school year. I had my school formal last week which was great fun, it's a huge deal over here, like the Proms in the USA. I have also had exams which is not exciting, but they are all done now and I am really looking forward to getting out to the slopes next week ! I am going to Avoriaz France with the GB Juniors.

The whole of the UK has been blessed with snow apart from us over here in Northern Ireland, typical, I guess it's because we are situated on the Sea. Hopefully we may get some snow tonight but I am not going to get my hopes up too much, but......... If we do I am looking forward to hitting up some street spots in Belfast, shredding on the home turf! I have never seen any snow over here, in the whole 2 years I have lived here, maybe that's because I was away snowboarding last time it snowed!

Good News, I have a new sponsor, (Vans) they are providing me with Boots and Footwear this season, I am really looking forward to working with them and getting to know the rest of the team, as well as going on some team trips! See there website www.vans.eu

BEO 2009

2009-01-25T03:23:00.000-08:00

Hello! I have been out in Laax for 10 days at the European open, I flew out on the 7th of January, a few days early so I could get some practice in with Roxy team mate Silje and Linn. We had amazing weather the whole week, with blue bird skys every day. The practice for the Slopestyle went really well, and I was ready to charge for the qualification but I think my nerves got the best of me finding it hard to put down a clean run, I spun on all 3 kickers but just didn't quite land cleanly enough putting my hand down on the 1st and 3rd kicker, this put me in 25th position out of 50 riders. It was a great experience to be ridding with girls of such a high standard, and I progressed greatly throughout the week learning to spin in 3 directions. During practice I learnt a cab 5 so I was really stoked with that and I can't wait to get out to the next competition to put it in a run! At the end of the week, I had a great time watching the finals, and ridding with some of the GB guys, Tom Hunt, Jamie Nicholls, Cody Hierons and Sam Turnbull, we rode some off piste in Laax and managed to get totally lost, and it took us around an hour and a half to find the piste again!

Roxy Chicken Jam Kaprun Austria

2008-12-17T01:59:00.001-08:00

I am just back from Kaprun, from the USA I went straight onto the Roxy Chicken Jam a 6* Event, one of the Women's most prestigious TTR Events in the TTR Tour.

I arrived a couple of days before the start of the competition, for a training camp with the rest of the Roxy Girls and coach Lesley Mckenna. The conditions on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier where not great when I first arrived, there was strong wind, making it difficult to practice for the qualification.

The day of the 12th of December (the qualification day) had been the best weather yet, even still there were strong winds but we battled through! The qualification went really well for me, I landed one clean run, to finish in 3rd place, which entitled me to a place in the main session with the 20 invited riders. 8 Riders out of the 30 qualifiers go through to the main session, also for finishing in the Top 3 I won a swatch TTR Watch.

The day of the Finals, there was extreme winds, gusts up to 140km an hour, they started to run the comp, but it was unsafe as people where overshooting and Knuckling due to the changes in the direction of the wind. On the Sunday they cancelled the Finals again, as the weather was too bad and it was dangerous to ride.

Aswell as ridding and competing we did some filming for a Roxy Podcast and we where all made up as Zombie's!!! and learnt the thriller dance (check it)

On the Saturday night, Roxy hosted a huge party in Kaprun's castle which was a huge success and lightened everyones spirits despite the cancellation.

I am now back home, after 3 solid weeks of shredding! and travelling, currently i'm sitting in school in one of my free periods! enjoying being back to normality for the Christmas period, and then back out on the slopes at the start of January in Laax for the Burton European Open.

Have a good Christmas!

I am just back from an awesome trip to Colorado USA. I flew out to CO on the 24th of November for 2 weeks with the GB Team. We were staying right by the terrrain park in a HUGEE house at peak 8! Don't think I have ever been in such a big house, it slept 18 people and I had my own room which was amazing. The house had 2 hot tubs a cinema room and a huge pool table room!!! Both the freestyle team and the World cup teams were staying together. The Freestyle team consists of...
Nelson Pratt
Ed Gunn
Jack Shackelton
Laura Hill
Claire Frost
Kate Harrison
Laura Berry (PT)
Jamie Nichols (PT)
Jenny Jones (PT)
Lewis Courtier Jones (Elite Junior)
Aimee Fuller (Elite Junior)

The first couple of Days we rode at Keystone Mountain as it was the only resort with a terrain park up, that was good fun, many little Jibs and one Kicker. Mid week we had a massive snowfall which was good news as there had been lack of snow. It snowed on and off for 3 days and we ended up with 3 foot of Fresh powder right outside on the deck.

Copper pipe opened towards the end of the first week, the pipe was crammed with people and teams from all over the world getting in early season training and preparation for the Grand Prix. The pipe was in really good shape and on the 2nd to last day I got a Mctiwst on Lockdown, which I am looking forward to putting into a run!

Other than the good snow conditions, we got up to lots of other things, we prepared a huge thanksgiving dinner, aswell as bargain hunting in Silverthorne Outlets! I went with Kate Foster from the GB World Cup team, on what we thought was going to be a small shopping trip, but the Interstate came to a standstill due to the heavy snow and the Holiday makers on their way back to Denver after the thanksgiving period. So it took us 3 hours on a public bus, and we ended up having to hike along the carriage way for 2 miles to reach the mall but it was soo worth it in the end!

By the time my venture in the USA had come to an end, Keystone opened their big park and had a Kicker line open, which was perfect as I had 2 days practice there before the Roxy Chicken Jam In Kaprun Austria.

I am just back from Hintertux, I spent a week there with the GB freestyle team, the weather wasn't to great up on the hill, 70km winds one day, but down in the valley had some really nice warm weather so we got some serious skating in! I am really into fruit booting!!! but the guys managed to convince me to skateboard, and I have started to get hooked! Breckenridge USA on the 24th can't wait!

LG LONDON FREEZE

2008-10-28T01:37:00.000-07:00

I have been in London for the past few days for the LG Freeze at Battersea power station. I flew over from Belfast early Thursday morning , and went straight into London to help out with the Roxy stand! Was by far the coolest stand not that I am Bias or anything :) Was a real success as we had a Roxy beauty Glitter Photo booth, the public came in and took some snaps of themselves in all the 08/09 Roxy Outerwear , goggles and hats! Check out some of the pics from the event ...

Saas Fee

2008-10-27T15:43:00.000-07:00

Just back from Saas Fee in Switzerland, was a great start to the season, was away with my Sponsor Roxy and the rest of the girls from the European team . We did a combination of training as well as filming for a podcast which should be out shortly and getting some shots for this season.

Was good to get my feet back again. After ridding there was plenty to keep us occupied, skating , volleyball, photo shoots and yoga every day once off the hill. I am looking forward to the LG Freeze coming up in the next few days in London, and will keep you informed on how that goes!
