Bio?

I work at the Snow Centre also in hemel hemstead. When im not working im out on the slopes learning new tricks and progressing at the sport. I Have been freestyle skiing for just under two years and i would not change it for the world! I ski around 3 times a week and when im not on the slope im in the gym learning new tricks in to the foam pits! For me its all about having FUN and getting everyone involved no matter how young or old. im always looking for new ways to create awareness about the sport, which has lead me to starting up my own jam format competition called GAP NATION and organisation called For Skiers By Skiers (FSBS). The competition took place on the 27th August 2011 at The Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead with over 80 people entering. FSBS and FBBB (for boarders by boarders) are teaming up next year to present a gap nation tour! I am Currently out in Breckenridge CO training for the up and coming competitions
