Short Bio: Jamie started snowboarding when he was 7 years old at Halifax Ski and Snowboard centre. By 9, Jamie could already do front flips and backside 900s. By 13 years old, he was already considered one of the best UK snowboarders. Since 2009 Jamie has traveled the globe, competing in big air, slopestyle and rail contests. His goals are to film good snowboard video parts, get on the cover of snowboard magazines and achieve the podium at the main competitions. Outside of snowboarding, Jamie is into climbing and skateboarding. When Jamie is at home in the UK he snowboards as much as he can at the Snowcentre in Hemel Hempstead and trains at Edge Gyms in Leeds.
