Introduction...

Nick is quite simply the highest ranked freeride skier in the UK. This discipline of big mountain freeriding takes him to some of the most exposed mountain faces on God’s earth to come face-to-face with his fears and push the boundaries of possibilty on 2 skis.

Over the coming years, Nick is determined to continue working his way up the World Freeride ranking and filming sections in the latest movies. As an accomplished film-maker himself, Nick has the valued ability to work as a one-man-outfit; pursuing, documenting and editing his own exploits.

Nick is a regular in annual catalogue shoots, has interviews in various magazines including Fitness First, and has appeared on a number of TV shows including ITV’s Airline and game show Casino Casino.
