So just last weekend it was the Vans Dawn of the Shred 5 up in Scotland, Avimore in the cairngorms mountains. As it was my first time up there riding i didn't have a clue what to expect. when i got there it was really sunny and the park looked sick. There was a slight downward breeze which helped clear the kicker which was really gnarly! To get the speed for it you had to straight line from the drop-in which was at the top of the rails.
Practice went really well but then the wind started to pick up so i felt nervous about doing my run. when it came to the comp the format was 2 kicker runs and 1 rail run, Stomped both of my kicker runs and landed a nice clean rail run so i was pleased with that :) There was about 60 riders that turned up and entered! Had an awesome day, managed to come 1st overall and won best kicker trick with a Bs 7. Also Well done to Angus leith who was riding really well and came 2nd.
And thanks to Gregor and his family for letting me stay at their place it was really kind of them. Was really good to see Gregor for the first time since his accident in breckenridge back in december 2010. he's doing really well and i'm pretty sure it wont be long till he's be back on his snowboard. :)
