First day shredding

Had my first day shredding and it was awesome. Snowpark is always sick. Here is a little video from today. It was filmed on an Ipod Nano so that kind of explains why it was so shaky.

New Zealand

I made it. It wasn't a long trip but im glad its over with. I am always so stoked to come to NZ to shred with all my mates. Snowpark is always super fun and sick to ride and going off what I saw from the plane it looks sick this year. 

My flight over was pretty mellow and without any planning Charlie Timmins and I ended up on the same flight so I ended up sitting next to him and having a chat on the way over. I was then greeted by the one, the only, Harry Pettit in Queenstown. Super stoked to see him as we have very similar personalities and we get a long as a result of that. 


Charlie was greeted by Chris Booth and I was greeted by Harry

After dropping my bags off at Harry's house he and I headed over to Wanaka. Harry had a physio apointment so while he did that I went and chilled with Jossi. Good to catch up with him again. Then after we all went out to dinner. 

Such a sick way to start the trip.

Heading to Snowpark tomorrow so hopefully its sick. Stay tuned

Thredbo Freeride series Big Air

Today was the Big Air competition in Thredbo. It was perfect bluebird and was actually awesome to sit back relax and watch a competition for a change.

The comp format was 3 runs which had to include a left and a rightside spin. It was awesome to see everyone throwing down. Although due to the cold temps the landings were quite hard and I saw my fair share of crashes today. Some were painful to watch.
