Indy Nose Bone
An indy nose poke. I’d like to work on adding a little more style to my riding. So I decided to start here, using a small kicker on the indoor slope at Castleford to try these out. Just a straight air – grabbing indy and boning the nose out a little. I think it just [...]
Backside Tailslide Joy
I was at Xscape Castleford last night for 2 hours of freestyle fun. I got talking to a guy and ended up sessioning the box and rail with him, which was really good because he helped me to learn a new trick. Well, actually we started off talking about me wanting to do some sort [...]

Great Day Gone Bad
Well today was pretty much a perfect day. We totally beat the queues and ended up being the first riders through the park. Clear blue sky and blazing sunshine. Not only that, but the thunder storm from last night that brought torrential rain in the town – brought fresh snow up on the glacier! So [...]
