Introduction...
Ive known stu since he was about 12 years old. He used to ride at sheffield ski village with a natural talant like no one elses. Now at 21 years old he is one of the best riders that this country has to offer and has picture perfect style.
Stu has spent the last two winters hidden away in california perfecting his skills but this year he is coming back to europe to show us all how its done.
Stu is a good person to have around as he likes to have fun with life and doesn't take anything too seriously.
