I’m proud to announce that I am now a team rider for the popular Swiss resort of Laax.
Joining my Nike ACG teammate, Paddy Graham, I will be training in Laax’s renowned super pipe, using this time to fine tune my competition runs and work on new tricks.
The Olympic qualification has now opened, so I need to be on top form this season to meet the quota.
It is great to have the opportunity to train in such a good pipe. The pipe here at Laax is by far the best pipe in Europe and the only one that compares to those in America.
If I want to ride as well as the Americans then I have to train in pipes that meet their standard.
I will keeping Laax as my season base, staying for all of January then I will be competing on the world cup tour in Europe and Canada. I’ll later return to Laax for the British Championships and the Pleasure Jam.
Cheers, Dan Wakeham
