Hey guys,
Been away for a while over the summer but am now back in the land of the living and gearing up towards the very close start of the 08/09 winter season!!
I am heading back to base myself in Verbier, living with my good friends Chris and Flossie! A few cool trips planned this winter, one to Japan and one to Norway to check the skiing out there hopefully! Also the Freeride World Tour have just released there competition dates so i will let everyone know which ones i am going to and where i’ll be and how i get on in them!
As you can see the website has been updated (thanks to the guys at Square Logic) with my new sponsors for this year, and a massive thanks to them for taking me on! A couple of the companies you wont have heard of yet but i am sure you will have by the end of the season… Here is a little bit about them below:
Storm Skis: A new exciting ski company coming out of the UK are providing my planks this year and i am going to be working closely with them to design next years products. It’s a really cool company and am excited about getting involved with them. Check there website out at www.stormskis.com.
FAIISE Clothing: Again a fresh new clothing brand making top quality stylish technical outerwear to keep me protected from the nasty elements and hopefully look cool too!! There coming out of the UK too and have some really refreshing designs for this season. Check there website www.faiise.com.
Natives.co.uk: These guys help loads of people wanting to do seasons out from finding jobs to places to live in resorts, there a really nice bunch of guys and will be helping me out this year. Thanks Becs! See if they can help you: www.natives.co.uk.
Nordica: Thanks to Gregor for looking after me again this year, the boots last year were awesome and i’m sure the ones this year will be the same, if anyone is interested i will be riding the Nordica Speedmachine 10’s. Also with the help of Michelle at ProFeetin London i have had them cutom fitted and they did an awesome job, would recommend them to anyone! Check them out www.profeet.co.uk.
Dr Zipe Optics: These guys are sorting my eyewear out again this year, thanks to Jay Earls for sorting me out and the goggles and sunnies look even better this year! Check them out at www.drzipe.com.
So thats about it for now, will keep the blog regularly updated from now on and through the winter, you will also be able to check out regular footage of what us guys on the Storm team will be doing this winter on Storm TV off the Storm website so check it out from December onwards! I would finally like to thank Camilla Stoddart for all of her amazing photos from last year and cant wait to get even better ones with her this year, check her work out at www.whiteroompictures.com.
