Will's TV appearance and Glasgow Grom camp

Its been a while since we updated what Will has been upto. He's been going to the Thursday night shred sessions at MK riding with the usual crew and  then went up to Glasgow  early December for a two day grom camp with Ben Kinnear. That was great as Will got some practice at Bearsden Dry slope even though its not his favorite riding, he does have a go at it every few months or so.

But Will really got the most out of the training at  Braehead Snozone . They did a fabulous job of the indoor double kickers and Will got to practice frontflips and 720 spins which he is getting really close to nailing..It's always great for Will to get to ride with fellow groms too and make more snowboarding friends..     GB Grom Camp in Glasgow

Also the TV shows that Will appeared in have been shown since we last updated . First he had an appearance in CBBC's Newsround and then the Friday Download programme which is below. It Features two fellow Milton Keynes freestyle pals Becky Menday ,who did the snowboard lesson and Jake Binney who rode with Will . Considering how nervous Will and Jake were they did so well and spoke more than we had been expecting.,..

Christmas has been brilliant and his favorite Christmas presents being his Lego R2-D2, his first ever phone and a new jacket.. We have Will's 10th birthday to look forward too over the next few weeks and we asre in the middle of  planning where and when to get Will out riding in Europe..

West Beach In and Out and other things

Its been a busy few weeks since the half term excitement. And Will has been having a whale of a time. So first up the was the West Beach In and Out competition in Milton Keynes Snowzone.  It was the second of a two part competition the first of which had been held up in Glasgows Bearsden dryslope. Will had not attended that one as it was a bit of a trek. but  he was definitely not going to miss a competion at his home slope.
 I do think that being his home slope allowed Will to feel much more at ease and he rode awesomely, pulling some complex tricks that earned him a place in the under 16 final. After a very long night of having fun doing what he does best,  Will came home with a sweet 3rd place and an armful of lucious prizes.

You can see a smile hidden behind the pile of prizes!

The next awesome thing to happen was that the lovely guys at Boarder Boards Snowboard shop have started a series of full page adverts in Whitelines magasine. It features some of their sponsored riders and first up was Will ! So he appears in Decembers issue which is out now !

Lastly and surprisingly the most challenging of his endevours so far was a chance to appear in a CBBC programme called the Friday Download. This was hard for the little man as he is very quiet and he was terrified of doing any talking. But the fact that he was going to be appearing with his good snowboarding friends Becky Menday and Jake Binney helped Will manage any fears he had. After some thought, he decided that he did want to take the offer up afterall.
 Its only a small riding part with very little talking ,but still it was a big deal for Will who took on the challenge and conqured some of his fears. He was told the programme is going to be part of the Christmas special on Friday 21st of December..
