So Its been while since my last post… I don’t know why but I seem to have very little spare time nowadays. I guess working a full time job really does take its toll on personal projects and keeping things updated. Any way at the beginning of April I went back out to the French Alps with some friends from Nottingham Trent Uni. Once again we had an awesome time. The snow wasn’t amazing with it being towards the end of the season, however the X-games were held there only a few weeks before so the parks were top level. We spent most the days shredding them up. I filmed quite a bit again.. standard, this time I didn’t edit all the footage to music etc so I just created a few little videos that consisted of the best bits, these went up on facebook.
I did get time to produce the following little edit. While on the slope I had the idea of the camera pole floating between people by getting someone to carry it from behind. We did a few trial runs and it actually ended up being quite difficult. The person being filmed had to remember not to get the person who handed the camera to them in shot. The person taking the camera around had to make sure their shadow wasn’t in the shot. We tried it a few times, The following edit has been chopped up a bit to make it go to the beat, also to cut out any bits where you could see the carrier.

Hit MORE… for more.
Also I set a new personal best on my board… 61.6mph. It felt so quick. The board behaves quite differently at that kind of speed…
I took this stereographic pic of Olli for a competition. Unfortunately I missed the deadline for the hand in.. Oh well.
This was my second and successful attempt at hitting one of the larger kickers. I had been looking at this all week and thought I might as well go for it on the last day. I hit it with some speed and ended up clearing quite a bit of the landing. I cannot describe the feeling you get as you’re launch off the end of the ramp into oblivion!!
