Brits wrap up





I have had so much fun the past ten days in Laax, it has been non stop!  I took 2 British Championship titles for Halfpipe and Slopestyle, not only have I been competing but I have also progressed a great deal.

I was loving the Halfpipe comp yesterday, the pipe was super slushy due to the blue bird Sky's and super warm weather. It was like glacier shredding. I stomped my run and made it through to the finals to ride in the senior category. I was the only Junior to qualify for the open event, I won my category with a frontside air mute grab, followed by a Mc Twist, a front 3, cab 3, and a HOHO!!! (2 handed hand plant).

 In the slopestlye I spun in 3 different directions, backside, frontside and Cab, which I have never done before in competition.

Everyday after the events,  prize giving was held down in the town, where they had a massive airbag, and some street rails to session, this was a cool way to end each day!
