I’ve had a mixed few snowboarding weeks here, there and everywhere. In the beginning of March I headed back from Colorado and made my way to Tignes for the annual Euro X Games week. The weather forecast was sun, sun and more sun for the whole week so I was a very happy lady....
No I haven’t been in Europe for all the epic powder. Although I’m a little jealous of all the face shots I’ve missed in France and Austria and been told about numerous times by buddies back home, I’ve actually had a great time out here in the States. I saw the New Year in...
I’ve had a bit of a pick’n’mix few weeks out here in Breckenridge. I managed to avoid breaking my foot skateboarding like I did last November so I was able to head out to Colorado with the British team. The team consisted of Hamish and Lesley the coaches and then riders, Billy Morgan, Sam Turnball, Ben...
Well it’s that time of year when I head down to New Zealand (NZ) and last month I took a deep breath and boarded the long flight to the southern hemisphere. The flight was from London to Auckland, stopping in LA only to walk off the plane stand in a little room for an hour...
This blog really hasn’t got a lot to do with snowboarding but has got a whole lot to do with summertime and surfing – yeeehhaaaa. I just got back from a two-week trip to the Maldives and had an unbelievably awesome time. Yes it’s known as the honeymooner’s destination but no, I wasn’t a...
The last few weeks have been a mish mash of random events and generally I’ve had a great time. Picking up from my last blog I was en route to France for the Euro X Games. I didn’t get the result I was after, but nonetheless I had a good time. I have to...
Just spent an awesome week in Telluride and Silverton with a crew that consisted of riders Angus Leith from Scotland, Breckenridge-based Nate Kern and Hana Beaman from Salt Lake City as well as Hana’s filmer Steven and photographer Dan Milner from Chamonix. It was a really enjoyable trip and there were some classic moments...
I‘ve been riding at the TTR 6-Star Oakley Arctic Challenge event in Norway and it’s been a challenging week. There was a nice vibe among the riders as we were staying in central Oslo and taking a big group bus up to the Winter Park resort each day. Out on the hill it was snowy...
Finished 2nd this week at the Winter X Games 15 in Aspen and am genuinely stoked on the result. Obviously it would have been fantastic to get a 3rd gold in Aspen but I couldn’t quite land my 900 and so silver it was. I’m just glad to be back in the game after...
Just before Christmas I was booked on a flight out to Colorado to join friends for Christmas in Breckenridge and was looking forward to getting back on my snowboard after injuring my ankle. However my flights were cancelled due to the snow chaos and I was unable to get on any flight until after...
Well, I had planned on being in Colorado when I wrote this latest blog but things happen and plans change I guess. Two weekends ago I went to Aberdeen to support my friend Lois Pendlebury in the British Skateboard Championships. Before the contest there was a beginner/jam session for anyone to ride the park...
I’ve spent the last two weeks mostly in London – nowhere near the mountains but around tons of snow enthusiasts instead. It was The Ski and Snowboard Show two weeks back, which was great fun and met lots of folks looking forward to getting their winter shred on. Ben Kilner and I had a...
I just arrived back from Mayrhofen, riding at the Hintertux glacier with the GB freestyle team, and had a brilliant two weeks. It’s always a bit nerve racking going out pre season as the weather can be pretty sketchy and sometimes you don’t get on the hill for days. However, we had blue skies...
I just got back from a brilliant trip to Chile. I think the fact that I had not been snowboarding for over 5 months was one of the reasons it was such a refreshing trip – having my board back under my feet and my body intact was great. I met the Relentless team...
I recently participated in a charity bike ride from London to Paris, with fellow snowboarder Vicci Miller and pro skateboarder Lois Pendleton as part of an Oakley team to raise funds and awareness for the Lavender Trust. I had trained for about two months, before which I had been on just a few half...
