Trip to Mount Hood

So we are excitedly waiting for Will to arrive home tomorrow from Saas Fee.
He's been having a great time out there. There weather hasnt always been good enough to get up the mountain snowboarding, but he's been climbing, downhill scootering, swimming , skateboarding and just having fun.

He's stoked to have mastered his 720 spins though , in the little time they've had on the snow. Then its a quick turn around with washing and packing as Will and I are heading over to the States for Will to take part in session 6 of the High Cascade snowboard camp over on Mount Hood.
Its the first time I've been able to take Will away snowboarding as most of his trips are in school time.
I'm unsure of access to the internet though whilst we are out there so it may be a few weeks before our next update.

Indoor Brits

Its been a real pleasure to watch Will ride recently, he has been having a great time and really pushing the envelope. And he has proved this by doing so well at the recent indoor Freestyle Snowboarding and Freeskiing championships.

By riding off the scale Will won the 12 and under catergory but also came 3rd in the overall category against the very talented Matt McCormick who came first and double front flipping 2nd place Cory Copeland. It was a really exciting day and he did us and himself proud.

To cap it all Will is in the latest video edit from team Howl, riding with Will Smith and Ollie Dutton. An awesome edit and a its great for Will to be riding with such inspirational freestyle British Riders..

Summer Antic's

Thankfully Will's arm seems to have healed really well and he's been upto quite alot these past few weeks snowboard wise.
He had a trip with The Park and Pipe crew to Landgraff Snow World in Holland, his first time away on his own with Ben Kinnear and the rest of the Park and Pipe Crew. Then whilst he was up in Scotland visiting his Nana and Grandad , Will was invited to train with the main GB Freestyle team which included the Matt McCormick, Katie Omerod , Fin Bremner and Thom Robinson. He had a great time riding the Braehead dome as well as skating and having a blast with the team.

Since then Will has been building up to starting secondary school as well as filming a new video edit with Max Presky.

Summer Trip

Well its fair to say that Will had a great time away with the Why Ain't You Jibbin crew.

He met old friends and made new ones and just had a great time boarding, and playing about in the sun and water.

Unexpected Opportunities

Its funny how sometimes opportunities happen so unexpectedly. Earlier on this week we had a call from Ben Kinnear inviting Will along to train with most of the main GB freestyle team up in Glasgow. Even though it was totally unplanned and only a day's notice, it seemed a real shame to pass up the chance for Will to meet and ride with the likes of Billy Morgan and Jamie Trinder. So we juggled thing's as much as we could for our Will to go . So the last few days have seen Will skateboarding ,snowboarding and generally hanging out with the main GB freestyle team. He's back home now after an ace time ,where again he made us proud by being so independent and getting over any  initial shyness and fears he may have had.

Blitz Camp and FBBB night

Its been relatively quiet  snowboard wise for the last month or so, but then that's sometimes a good thing. Will has been doing his usual Thursday and Friday night down at Milton Keynes Snozone.
Last Friday however was Blitz camp down at Hemel Hempstead Snow Center. Will had been invited to join the Blitz camp by Mark King when we were up at the Van's Hi Standard Competition and this was the first one since then. Needless to say Will had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed riding with the other team members. Looks like we'll be heading down to Hemel more often now.
Blitz Camp May 2013 is a great video showing Will riding with the rest of the Blitz team riders..

This Friday was FBBB takeover of Park Strife at Milton Keynes, and it was great park set up with a pretty big kicker. The lovely Jool's Smith was on hand to take some great pictures of everyone riding including some great ones of our Will looking super cool in his new  CWLR gear

Not long now till the end of school and the start of the Summer Holidays. Will's really looking forward to going away for a weeks training to France at L2A with Steve Addicott's   Why Ain't you Jibbin Crew. He's going to have an awesome time out there with the other groms , going on a road trip and being away from us . Other news is that  Steve is currently working on a little edit of Will from footage taken over the winter 2012/2013, can't wait to see that..
