Training with the GB junior team

There was a two day training session down at Hemel's Snow Center on Saturday and Sunday, and this is the first time Will's been able to attend since he joined the GB team earlier this year.Ben Kinnear came down from Aberdeen to do the training bring with him Matt MaCormick and Fin Bremner. The rest of the group were much more local and they were Callum Paton,Tomski Robinson, Becky Menday, Cerys Allen and Maisie Potter. The training from Ben was brilliant and everyone came away having tried and mastered new tricks. For Will these were switch back and cab 1's & 3's and a whole heap of spins onto and off the box. After the day's training on Saturday the group headed to XS nearby to do some climbing.. It was a really fun weekend for will and a real privalige for Will to ride with some of the best freestyle riders in the country and get a chance to be trained by Ben Kinnear.

WAYJ Camp in Morzine

Ayla Thidling, Will Gilmore, Steve Addicott and Nathalie Silkstone

So Will has just come back from a fantastic week of freestyle training with Steve Addicott.Although it was one of the last weeks of the winter season the weather was interesting with rain, snow and poor visibility. The slushy snow meant it wasn't suitable to practice any spins off kickers as Steve didn't want to ruin their good technique. So instead Will , Ayla and Natalie got to spend lots of time in the super pipe with Steve and half pipe verteran Kate Foster, before heading up to practice backflips on the airbag in the afternoon. On the last day it snowed really heavily and after a couple of runs through the Stash they headed off to practice a heap of switch one footed tricks in the park. Will's highlights of the week were perfecting alley oop 3s out of the pipe and managing to get some air out of the pipe, especially as it was Wills first time in a half pipe.
