A New Year...

A new year...
A new year and new start and new country!

Fuck yeh America!
So here I am in Breckenridge Colorado, sure makes a change to Morzine, not only does it not rain here, it's bloody freezing!
The snow is amazing and the parks are insane, parks, there are 3 right next to each other, and loads dotted all over the place.

I sure miss Morzine and the French, ok so I was lying about the French, they are mean, at least Americans pretend they like you, but most of them are actually just nice and easy going.

They sure are a lot of cool kids out here, feeling a bit out of it, I'll be coming back all trendy and Europe won't know whats hit them!

Riding is going good, I was a little worried when I got here when everyone was good, by everyone I do mean the chicks too, and and true American style everything is SUPER size!
But actually its big and friendly, so getting on some bigger kickers and getting my spin on, wahoo.

Comp wise, not too sure whats coming up and what I can do, the Aspen open is coming up in Feb, so considering that.

I'll keep you updated whether I take on the Yanks!

Happy New Year!

We Wish You a Very Merry Christmas!

Snow Camp

These people do something amazing, they take young people who probably need it the most on the experiance of being up on a mountain, here is what they say:

''Snow-Camp is a youth charity providing disadvantaged young people from London’s inner city areas with the chance to experience mountain sports. As well as offering the opportunity to learn to ski or snowboard, during a week’s stay in the French Alps, Snow-Camp includes a Life-Skills course designed to enable young people to reflect on the key issues that impact their lives.'

Legion Rocks II Comp

The West of Scotland Snowsport Center is kindly hosting the event for the second year running and on the 25th of August we'll have the run of the slope whcih includes a state of the art SnowFlex funpark, a rail park and excellent bar and function room which will host the after party which should rock as much as the action on the slope!

The comp is kicking off at 2pm on Saturday 25th August...
running until we get kicked off the slope at 10pm, followed by a party into the small hours.

It's going to be a jam format, judged by the riders themselves. The comp will be broken down into sessions on the jumps slope (kids comp, practise, main session and final) taking away all the pressure of nailing that one perfect run. The main slope will also be opened with the airbag and various rails set out.

For those that pre register the entry fees (which include your slope pass) are

Under 16s: £15
Over 16s: £20

The mini site, with pre-registration forms for Legion Rocks is up and running at :- www.ilovelegion.com/legionrocks

Anyone registering on the day will miss out on a free tee and pay an extra £5 for the privilege.

We can't guarantee the weather… but we've done well so far this "summer". Hopefully it should be a cracking day.

Cheers

Stevie
