Introduction...
Hey...
Where do i start.
I am a profesional snowboarder and I have been snowboarding now for 9 years. I love competing and traveling the world training; even photo shoots.
I train with the GB Freestyle Team and I have been now since the beginning of the 2009 season. I have many sponsors which help me with product and to get me to the places I need to go.
So i just want to take this opportunity to say thanks to Quiksilver, RedBull, Salomon, Nike 6.0, Sno!Zone, Skullcandy and TSA.
I also want to sat thanks to Stu Brass and Spencer who have always looked after me, and to my agent Bob Klien at Octagon.
