SBX World Cup Argentina first up in 2017.

 1st July 2017

Hey thanks for checking in apologies for the delay.

It's been super busy since I got home.

Super stoked to be in the NZ Winter Olympics Long List Team (which means I will find out in January if it's all go). Working hard.

In the meantime there has been lots of planning papers to complete, medical and gym assessments.

Now its getting some on snow training and full on gym sessions.

Sorted on the Board shed this season - so there will be more of this leading up to the first World Cup in Argentina in Sept.

New Years Resolution 2017

2016/2017

I hope everyone, family and friends have had a really great start to 2017 and may the year bring lots of awesome experiences and memories.

I have been enjoying a break from the snow and trying some new things which is what I hope to do more of in 2017.

So - yes surfing, really enjoyed my first day and definitely look forward to doing more, plus bigger waves.

Plus shock horror "Dad" - I really enjoyed meeting this fellow and having a great day riding around the countryside.

 Life live to the full.

SBX Training Colorado, USA

Oct 2016

It feels like I haven't left Colorado, back into the daily habits.

But coach Ross, has decided to mix it up a bit which is great - so we have been doing Ninja training skills, high altitude training hiking up some of Colorado's famous 14'ers, as well as gym work.

This was a view from top of Mt Elbert. Cold day but the snow arrived the next day.

Really keen to get some more time on snow - waiting to hear if we can get an extra training camp organised or stick to the Pitzal training camp before Montafon World Cup in Austria in Nov/Dec.

Working hard - One Day at a Time.

Enjoying the last week of exploring the Wakatipu

20th Sept 2016

Countdown - my southern season is coming to an end next week and I'm off to the Northern Hemisphere for the longest season of my career.

All going well I will complete my first full World Cup Season and compete at the World Snowboard Championships in Spain at the start of March.

Going to miss exploring with this guy!! Mt Dewar, Queenstown.

ANC SBX Champs 2016 - Mt Hotham - completed

Road trip Mt Hotham back to Sydney - east coast Aussie pretty great.

So onwards - focusing on my day to day goals.

Quick trip back to NZ to get a couple of courses completed and then it's off to the Northern Hemisphere for training and competing in as many World Cups as I can, plus the Snowboard World Championships in Spain in March 2017.

I have had an awesome holiday in Aussie - it's be great to have some relaxation time in-between events. Appreciate the hospitality of my Aussie friends and their families.

SBX Thredbo Trip 2016

Aug 17th 2016

Unfortunately the ANC SBX races at Thredbo were cancelled but we have been enjoying having great time here - training and competing in their awesome Banked Slalom (rocking the retro look) informal race.
They have gone out of their way to assist us with both meals and setting up a pump track and start gates etc.

Still when nature decides its time to have a day off - I really had a great time exploring south east NSW - my Dad's old stomping ground. Fantastic bays and coastal areas - Fish N Chips at Eden was a definite highlight watching the clear ocean.

Back to Mt Hotham next week for the last two Aussie races and then home.

ANC Cups Mt Hotham Australia 2016

7th Aug 2016

Have really enjoyed the last few days at Mt Hotham, things were changed around a bit they decided to do both race qualifications on the 5th Aug and then both races on the 6th in case the weather packed in.

So qualified 4th and 5th - then finished 5th and 6th respectively - happy with my preparation - tired after the double race day - but to be expected - 12 full on races - something to continue to work on.

We were supposed to race at Thredbo but it appears there isn't enough snow for a race course so the event has been put back on Mt Hotham at the start of September! So decisions to be made - after chatting with Aussie friends and coach - I've decided to travel to Thredbo (as this was all prepaid) for some on snow training and then back to Mt Hotham for the last couple of races. All good practice leading into the season.

Feeling pretty relaxed and looking forward to enjoying the journey.

Frankton Flyer Magazine Interview

Got a call for a interview with the local magazine "The Flyer" - thanks Sue for the opportunity.  Check it out.

ANC Mt Hotham and Thredbo - Aussie here I come.

29th July 2016

Bags packed - watching the snow forecast - Aussie for 4 ANC races - looking forward to getting on course and I really enjoy visiting Aussie. Plan Sydney - Mt Hotham, Thredbo - Melbourne home.

Will miss watching the odd movie with DOG! Who has already given me the cold shoulder when he saw the bags getting dragged out. Life of a travelling athlete.

All the best to the Kiwis in Rio - will look forward to catching the action.

Pyeongchang 2016 to Veysonnaz, Switzerland - SBX World Cups

29th Feb 16

Just arrived into Geneva overnighting until I meet up with Coach and Meaghan tomorrow morning back at airport before drive to Veysonnaz for next World Cup.

Had a terrific week at Pyeongchang - the course was the biggest I've ever seen - so I expected a few bruises but I at least walked away in relatively one piece unlike a number of others.  Knee and side sore but only skin damage!

The South Koreans were really nice and very helpful. Found my watch after it was lost during my heat - stoked.

A couple of shots of the around the area.  The specialty luggage buses were efficient. Big flame structure.

Trying to get out in a snow storm at Incheon International Airport - 1 hour delay, winter travel!
