Short Bio:
I
started snowboarding at the age of seven and a half after skiing since I was
4. I loved snowboarding and have never
looked back. I really enjoy going fast
and hitting the bigger kickers and so SBX is the perfect sport for me. I also enjoy freestyle and this season have
spent 8 weeks in the mountains training freestyle and snowboard skills with
Steve Addicott and Kate Foster, these board skills are transferable and will
help with my SBX career.
I
am currently in year 7 at secondary school; because I am allowed lots of time
off to go riding, I really have to work hard at school; they send work away
with me on my trips L.
