Will has a small feature

Will rode with the Salomon riders with the rest of the sponsored riders at Snozone MK earlier in the year. And it seems that he has  been given a little 'guest spot' in  one of Jed Andersons video's that has just been released. Talk about an honour to been seen  on the same  clip with an inspiring top class professional rider . Funny to think that thousands of people have seen that video ,and don't know that the little shredder in the yellow and green is our Will...

Wham Bam Jam at Castleford

Last weekend Will went along to compete in the Indoor British Freestyle Snowboard Championships. What a difference a year makes . Will was so much more relaxed and whereas he did'nt know anyone last year, this year it felt like he was competing amongst friends as he knew so many of the competitors.

Being in the Kids cateogory he had a two run competition before getting a chance to compete in the Jam for all ages. There was  only  20 mins warm up &  Will was a little nervous and there was not much time to get used to the features. He did his two runs  and then stayed out to the Jam. This allowed the little man time to relax and enjoy the park and he really impressed a few people with his technical riding, so much so he was the only one from the Kids cateogory to survive the 50% cut of the field.  So Will ended up 4th in his age  category of 12 and under , and although he was 3 years younger that his fellow riders  he ended up  heartbreakingly 1/2 a point from finishing 3rd. Impressivelty though, by getting through the first cut of the Jam has meant that he is ranked equal 13th.

Jools took some awesome pictures of the day and it is a pleasure to include them in Will's blog..

GB training camp in Saas Fee

Last week Will went along to the GB training camp in Saas Fee , Switzerland. He had a great time practicing his freestyle snowboarding and refining his technique on the glacier snow in the morning, followed by fitness training in the summer sun in the afternoon. The rest of the GB team who were very supportive and friendly, and Ben Kinnear was a brilliant coach breaking down all the elements of the tricks making it easy for William to understand what he needed to do to improve...
He worked progressively through 180's right through to FS 540 indie grabson a range of kicker sizes.
As well as snowboarding ,Will started skate boarding down in the skate park with some great tips from fellow team mates and came away some impressive brusies to show for it..The week was a definite success and Will is keen to go for the full two weeks next year..
