Some brilliants news
Well it's been a very exciting time since our last blog . Will's had some amazing feedback about his riding all his hard work has paid off in some very positive ways.
Firstly the little man has been accepted into the GB Junior Freestyle Snowboarding team, which is perfect to help him achieve his very big ambitions. He will be joining the rest of the team on some amazing training camps both here in the UK and Europe ,and he will have essential support and advice from some of the best people in Britain.
Then last night at the Freestyle night in Snozone milton-keynes , Will learn't that he had been made part of their development team. This means he gets discounted fees on the slope , so gets to spend more time doing what he loves and represents the Snozone wherever he competes in the future. It really is a win ,win relationship because without his local slope. his riding would'nt have gotten to the level he is.
And finally he's had some lovely comments from the guys at the The Riders Lounge who have been getting great feedback about Will riding his fantastic little Capita Microscope snowboard and Union bindings. We have no doubt that having the right equipment has definitely helped his massive progress these last few months.

32 Team come to Hemel's Snow Center
Some of Wills favorite riders came along to Hemel Hemstead . They were the 32
Pro rider team and they held a poster signing and meet session before going out to the slope and having a bash with the locals at the freestyle park specially set up for them.. The 32 guys were just so lovely and friendly to everyone including young Will, who typically clammed up and barely spoke a word..The team were impressed by his Capita Microscope snowboard with the Union bindings and signed his board as well as signed poster and JP Walker very kindly agreed to have a photo with Will..

His latest adventure was a long weekend out at Avoriaz with his Dad. They stayed at Rude Chalets so were totally looked after , had a lovely place to stay and eat & they got to play X Box every evening! Apparently it had snowed so much that the most freestyle parks were closed, so they played about in the STASH which is and awesome freestyle park made completely from wood. Some of those rails where huge ! But Will just loved it. They arrived home tired but buzzing, with Will nagging at his Dad to download the video's so we could all watch what he's been up to. Will chose the tune :)
Well the little Man had an amazing Christmas , Santa brought him all the toys he asked him for and he also had a complete Lego overload ,which kept him busy for days.. There was't much going on in the indoor slopes over the festive period although he did go to Hemel's Junior JIBJAB bash on the 23rd of December. He had a great time and came away with a few goodies including a longtee t-shirt which is just huge on him but he loves.. He made a big impression on a few people there who were raving about him and how well he rides.. " Star of the future " was said a number of times.
