I'm moving!
In celebration of having two sponsors on board and because I want a site format that gives me more flexibility to combine posts on snowboarding, work, life, general stuff I come across and the photos that Jools takes I've set up a new blog over at www.tailfish.co.ukI've imported all of the posts...

Nearly Nose Grab!
Nearly Nose Grab!, originally uploaded by plasticsnow aka Kat.Here's a shot Jools took of my second run in the Big Air at the Brits. After landing a clean Roast Beef for my first run I went for the nose grab on my second. As you can see I didn't quite get the grab but I still cleared the...

I'm writing this on my way to London, on the train, heading to the office after two weeks away in Laax. It feels a bit surreal, here I am suited and booted and fighting for a seat on the train ( I won) when this time a week a go I was waiting for the gondola to take me to the mountain top for...

Medal Free Wednesday
No medal for me today unfortunately, but the weather was good and I was happy with my half pipe runs. I'd out a couple of runs in on the half pipe yesterday but hadn't really done anything spectacular (let's face it, when you only ride pipe once a year it's hard to be spectacularly anything...

Hard work pays off!
Woohoo! I am so happy right now, all my hard work and the lessons I had last week worked out and I placed first in the Masters Big Air at the Brits. It was perfect weather today, bright blue sky and nicely shaped kickers meant that things couldn't really have been better. The delay to the...

Victorious in Masters Boardercross
It's been a mixed day for weather with heavy cloud hanging over the Boardercross course but it was well worth me heading up the mountain, although when I did my first run through the course. The first run through you get of the course is just side slipping through to check where each of the...

Self affirmation...I can do it!
I'm exhausted, totally mentally and physically drained today. The sun had come out by the time we'd reached the park at around 9:20 this morning and I managed to get a few warm up runs on the triple line of kickers before my lesson kicked off. It was much nicer being able to see where I was...

Bring Me Sunshine!
First up I have to say a big thank you to everyone who after my whinging has wished for sunshine, especially Cityrat59 who today sent me sunshine from Sweden. Yes, there was a hint of sun today, not at first admittedly but it did make an appearance now and again from mid-morning. The day...
