The Brits..

Well it's not been a great start for Will, on the last day of the PreBrits training whilst practicing on the bigger jumps, Will aggravated an old injury in his heel.. We were hoping that with rest and care it would improve. However after riding this morning in the bangers and cash event, it was hurting even more.. So Will pulled out and an the moment it's looking unlikely he will compete in any other competitions this week. You know its a shame , but it's not important in the grand scheme of things. I'm sure with rest and care Will will begin feel much better and tbh, that the most important thing..

Picnic tables Jibbin

Well it looks and sounds like Will has been having a great time out in Pila with the Why ain't you ribbon crew. Yesterday the weather was poor , shutting the freestyle park and so they built their own park . So he heads over to Tignes , France tomorrow ready to compete in the Outdoor Brits competition. Wish I was there to see him , but at least he'll have his Dad there with him, together with Steve. Hope he has a fantastic time and will keep you posted with any results and pictures.

Snozone Ad

It was a bit of a surprise this month when we opened up the new issue of Whitelines magasine to see Will in a full page advert for Snozone. Lovely that they chose our Will to represent them in their advertising campaign , and it's a pleasure since they give Will free time on the slope in their sponsorship of him.This has definitely helped him practice as much as possible without us having to worry about how much it was costing.

Sports Aid Award

As some of you are aware supporting a young athlete is often a very expensive activity for their parents and often involves budgeting and some sacrifices. When sponsors come along and offer to support them it's a huge help with the cost of time on slope, equipment, clothing etc. But at Will's level of riding ,there is not often an offer of help towards the very real costs of training and travel etc. So its wonderful news that Will has a recieved a grant of £1000 towards these costs from SportAid, in recognision of emerging sporting talent .He joins the hallowed names of Mo Farah CBE,Sir Chris Hoy and Jessica Ennis- Hill CBE amongst lots of other well known athletes, who were identified with potential, to recieve this grant when they were first starting out. We are very proud of him since its all his hard work and commitment that has earn't him this money and it will make a small dent towards Will's training and travel costs for which we are very greatful.

New CLWR outfit ready for the Brits

It's officially spring and it's not long now till Will goes away to have a week in the mountains with Steve again before his Dad joins them out in Tignes ready for the Brits competition. He has been sent a really cool new CLWR outfit which is from next seasons collection so no one else will be wearing it... Also and he"ll be rocking his new Capita Microscope and Union Bindings too. It's amazing really how much has happened for Will since he last went out to his first Brits event. I suppose some reflection is always a good thing and makes you appreciate how much Will has developed over the few years since he first started riding and how much hard work he has put unto his passion.
