So after the One Snowboarding camp it was the Brits 2011 ( The british Snowboard Championships ) in Laax, Switzerland. All week the weather was amazing so all the comps went down with a bang with the standard of riding just exploding with double corks going down left right and centre in big air and slopestyle, plus Dom and Ben trying them in pipe.
This years brits for me went really well getting overall 2nd in slopestyle, 3rd in Big air and 4th in Halfpipe which i was really stoked about. in big air my 1st jump was a BS double cork10 and my 2nd jump was a BS rodeo 7.
Halfpipe was really good fun as it had just been reshaped the day before and the sun was shining as-well. my qualification run went really well as i qualified in 3rd place in front of Dan Wakeham :D . but ended up coming 4th overall as dan put down a sick run to knock me out of podium position.
Also it was great to see dom harrington there riding (who attempted a double Mctwist 12 ) and also olympians Dan Wakeham & ben kilner were there too, also throwing down doubles. Had so much fun riding with them.
In slopestyle i landed my rail tricks but fell on the second kicker so it was all up to my last run. landed my rail tricks and went all out on the jumps doing back double 10 on the first kicker to a bs rodeo then to a cab 9. was really stoked to land that run as i had only just learned those 3 tricks just a few weeks ago :)
