Indoor British Championship at Castleford

What a week ! Last week we travelled up to Leeds on Friday night to be ready for the Williams first major snowboarding competition. He was really excited and keen to do well, but totally ignorant as to what do, how it worked ect.
Pretty much everyone who was anyone in the British Ski and snowboarding scene were there to do their stuff. Luckily Williams Junior class ran first together along with the Youth and Women categories, so he got out on the snow nice and early and practiced on the park for the two hours before the actual competition started..
During the competition William tried his best and managed some awsome tricks, although he did fall down during  both his box  runs , which really scuppered his chances of getting high marks..  His rail runs were brilliant and no falls this time either most probably becuase he was much more comfortalbe with what was happening and actually quite chilled about it all.....So proud of the little man...

this weeks news

Will went along to this weeks Thursday Freestyle night  at MK where he's becoming a bit of a regular.. He had a really good session where he managed to practice most of his current freestyle tricks including his 360 spins which he had been a shy to try out lately..
Then on he went along to see James on Sunday's breakfast club and managed to try out some new tricks inclulding 180 jump onto rail, BS 180 jump ons and off. FS 180 off amongst others.. James also made him practice his switch riding by making him do the actions to  "head , shoulders , knees and toes" whilst riding switch turning all the way down the slope..

Saturday's Who's Afraid of the Park and Parkstrife sessions

Will  went along to the afternoon Who's afraid of the Park session at Milton Keynes this Saturday. It was a perfect opportunity for him  to have a practice on some lovely features without having to stay up really late for once.. So he bombed around practicing  a couple of small kickers, the rainbow rail and the cannon jump   for a few hours. When it finished he was chuffed to bits to win a Snozone tshirt to add to his ever growing collection of oversized tshirts, stickers and lanards. Then after a quick food stop at Pizza Express it was the Parkstrife session when some of the larger features where opened up . Once again some really cool pictures were taken of the session by Wilf of the freestyle crew, including some of Will's tricks..

Freestyle night 1st September

William's new Union bindings arrived just in time for him to try them out at MK snowzone last night and have a play on the freestyle park. He was made up with them as they look really cool on his lovely Capita snowboard .It was mainly gas pipes (a couple of big kinked ones) and boxes, but did have a couple of small kickers. He had  a great time with his friends including fellow Definition team mate Cerys . Special thanks to  Wilf from Lots of Pic's  who managed to get a few really nice pictures.
