BACK in England



I have been quite bust the last week, I flew over from Belfast last weekend to London and I went up to Bath University for a few days to check out the campus and the sports facilities. I am now attending there as a part time student studying a Sports Performance degree. I have never been to Bath before and I was really impressed, especially by the shopping!!!! I was loving the Superdry store, we deffinatley need one in BELFAST! <--- Check out the people statues in Bath they literally did not move the whole weekend I was there! 

 I am just back from Tammworth, this past weekend I spent in a Snowdome, I was in London on Friday checking out the Roxy Office, that was cool to see were all the magic happens! I then travelled with some of the Roxy crew, Michelle and Hannah up to Tammworth Snowdome for the Big Bang TSA show. Other than the fact we got totally lost when we arrived and drived for 40 miniutes in a circle and turned up at someones house rather than the Holiday Inn, we blame it on the TOM TOM. I was runing the all girls Roxy Coaching session, that went really well and all the girls had a great time and learned lots riding the boxes and the wee jump. I will be up in Glasgow next week for the next TSA event, so see you guys there for some more shred action!

Home sweet home....


I have been home now for just over a week, time fly's! My journey back home was surprisingly good considering the amount of stops I had to make. Queenstown, Christchurch, Sydney, Bangkok, Dubai, London, BELFAST!

It has been pretty hectic since I got home but good fun. Brilliant to see all my family and friends again. Last weekend I spent up at the North Coast surfing, I took part in the Roxy Surf days with a few friends, was also great to catch up with some of my Roxy team mates, (SURFERS)! Candice O'donnell and Sophie Hellyer. Also managed to squeeze in some wakeboarding whilst the girls where over, so we went down to Gaston's boat.
Thanks to Candice and Sophie for the surfing tips! and Troggs surf school for putting on an awesome event.

NZ Winter GAMES *PODIUM*










Yesterday was a hectic day but super fun. We drove over to Queenstown early morning for the FIS Remarkables NZ Winter games. I had a solid run in the finals which put me into 3rd place, my first podium of the season. The course was  very challenging with very whippy takeoffs, one of my friends got concussed on her last run of the slopestlye course so we ended up in the Hospital late last night, the good news is that Britte is now fine after being under the watchful eye for a few hours and was back on the slopes today shredding! 


I am really happy with my result and can't wait now until the Northern Hemisphere winter kicks off back in Europe. I have a few pictures here, many thanks to the guys at JDP Images

Jumping from the Sky


Today I finally had the opportunity to skydive, blue bird skies, and wispy clouds. I had soooo much fun it was such an adrenaline rush, like nothing I have ever felt before. I pretty much screamed the whole way down from the moment we exited the plane, which of course was in style with a backflip!  NZ is a beautiful place, the scenery is wild. I had wee Skydive crew with me. Ben from the UK and 3 Norwegian rippers, Lisa, Linn and Helena. I got this awesome video thanks to Sky Dive Lake Wanka which I will show you guys when I have a moment to put it up. Here is a pic of the crew for now...

Having fun in NZ, I had the NZ open last week which was pretty hectic, that was going really well for me and then the qualifications got cancelled. I was in 4th place and we had to do a rerun 2 days later, I fell in my run doing a backflip so ended up in 28th place! The course is perfect right now as the Open is now over so I am working on perfecting a few tricks. Skydiving tomorrow, will let you know how that goes, can't wait.

Diamond Lake


 Pic 1 - Gymnastics with Noel Baxter! aka Tooth.

Coming up for my 3rd week now in NZ, we had the day off today and went to check out some sights. We climbed up a wee mountain to view Diamond lake and view the rest of Lake Wanaka. It was super warm down in the Valley today so I thought it would be a good idea to get my flip flops out, little did I know I was going to be hiking! My feet are feeling worse for wear now though!

New Zealand



I am currently in NEW ZEALAND! So happy to be back on the slopes, I had a really good journey here, I flew from Toronto over to Queenstown, the longest flight was 13hours, which in the end was not tooo bad! I slept most of the way! I am here with one of my Roxy team mates, BRITTE VAN DER POUW! We have had an awesome first week, despite some severe winds, really looking forward to riding the kickers the park set up is amazing! Also we have had alot of snow, so we had the opportunity to ride some amazing powder this morning. While I am here I am also hoping to do either some Bungy Jumping or skydiving so I will let you know how that goes

Peace

Last summer



Hey, summer has finally started! I finished my exams last week, the feeling is amazing! I have been raking through some pictures from last summer (08) and I found these motocross pictures. We went back to the USA to visit, and we met up with some old friends and rented out Budds Creek in Virginia, was such a fun day, the heat was insane, hope you like the pics

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!

Day 1 Boardercross




Today was hectic, clouds where rolling in and out of the boardercross track all day making visibility poor. Boardercross is a race down a vertical decent against 4 other riders. The course was really fun, with a variation of rollers, kickers and berms, the first obstacle was a small but super whippy kicker. I made it through the qualification into 2nd place and won the semi's.

The finals went down with Gemma Marshall in 1st, followed by myself , Becky Cullum in 3rd and Sam Rogers finishing in 4th. I managed to fall on the first kicker, overshooting it and landing to the flat, that put me in last place, I managed to work my way through the field to finish in 2nd place.

overall it was a good day, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the upcoming events this week.

LAAX is where it's at!


Im here in Laax at the moment for the British Champs, I have been out here for 2 days now and it's aweosme out here, I am here a few days early to get some practice before the start of champs, there is tons of snow for this time of year! 

 The first day I was ridding with some of the GB guys and we built a powder kicker! I nailed a couple of backflips and attempted a rodeo! Some crazy stuff was going down, double backflips, switch back 9's and Tom Hunt nailed a double front flip. I am really looking forward to the comp next week. Everyone is arriving on the 28th, and then I will then be moving into an apartment with the Roxy girls for the week. Monday it's boardercross, so I will update you then. As for now check this  shot of me on the pow kicker!
