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..
