UK All Girls Snowboard Movie

more about “UK All Girls Snowboard Movie“, posted with vodpod
UK snowboarders Lynsey Ashdown and Helen Fox have had a brilliant idea, here it is in their own words-
After many discussions with a lot of riders about how girls don’t get as much exposure in the male dominated snowboard industry, we thought it was about time the girls got a chance to shine. There’s a lot of talent out there, and it would be wicked to get more exposure for you all.

So, if you want to get involved please get plenty of footage of yourselves over the course of the winter and keep me updated with how you’re getting on. Depending on how much we get, it’d be good to put out a few short edits in the interim period aswell so more than happy for people to send stuff earlier rather than later.

This is an open invitation to any UK female shredder.

Also for those of you not getting chance to get on real snow this year, that doesn’t count you out as indoor and dry slope footage is still good. These are are roots and I hope to get a section of UK riding in there aswell.

If anyone has any questions or ideas, just get in touch and happy shredding :-)

So, join the facebook group here and get in contact if you have any footage you’d like to send.

Here’s some footage of the top 3 riders in the Roxy Jam, I am so happy to be a part of womens snowboarding right now, the progression is insane!!!
I’m going to attach a pic below of the middle kicker, on which these girls were doing their 7’s.

The Stash – Avoriaz

Here’s some fun footage of Nico Droz and friends in the Avoriaz STASH. Too much wall ride for me, but great inspiration all the same, that bench at the top is super fun and a spin over the tree jib needs to be on my agenda soon (gulp!)

Roxy Chicken Jam

Phew, I’m back from the Roxy Chicken Jam and I feel really happy to be alive!

haha, no it wasn’t THAT bad, but the jumps were massive for me after 8 months off, I am so happy with myself for managing to ride them and actually do some spins after all that time. The major factor was, these jumps, although big, were absolutely perfect in shape, the middle one was about 16 meters long and running into it felt like the speed fo light, but taking off was sooooo smooth, I was kicking myself for not getting a bit more riding time in before this so I could do a bit more than grab off it, but alas I felt spinning on such a big kicker first week of the winter would be a little ‘risky’ so say the least! haha

The first kicker was fine though and easy for my fs3 stales, the set up was a bit tricky, box or rail to icey landing to kicker all on top of each other, you had a split second to set up it felt, not too good for confidence, but it was only 10 meters so wasn’t hard to handle.

The practice day was the best, I found Anais Cettou at the bottom of the course and she had already hit the two top jumps so I followed her in for speed on both of them, then I tested the bottom kicker for her to follow in. It’s so nice to have someone to ride with when you aren’t in your element, I’m so lucky she was there.

The Qualifiers day wasn’t too bad either, the atmosphere at these all girls comps is always so great, supportive and fun, it’s always good to be a part of it. There was quite a bit of waiting around for runs, we got 4 all together in the 2 hour session, I had 1 clean run in the whole lot, luckily, I was just happy to be getting some nice 3’s on the top jump and managed a few melons and bs to switch 50/50 on the bottom up down picnic table jib. UK ripper Claire Frost had an amazing final quali run including a fs7 melon off her TOES on the massive booter to bs3 on the bottom kicker, she is such a great rider she even managed this with the flu! go on Claire!

I knew I wouldn’t be able to ride my best after all the time off snow but definitely felt happy with what I managed : )

The guest house me and Nils stayed in was great too, lovely, much needed sauna in the afternoons and a great breakfast in the morning, yum yum.

I filmed the finals day and will make a little movie of what I have for you asap where you’ll see young UK rider Aimee Fuller ripping up the course on the finals day, she hadn’t been off the kickers on the practice day, then BAM backflip on the 1st kicker to bs3 on the booter to frontflip off the launchbox!!! that girl is brilliant! : )

Best part is that I got a picture on the TTR news page of the qualifiers day! STOKED!

Off to the Roxy Chicken Jam

So, the snow has been falling all week and now we’re off to Austria for the Roxy Jam which starts Friday.

Roxy girl Aimee Fuller is coming in the car too. We’ll be back after the weekend, I’ll fill you in on the action then. I’m taking my video camera to film the finals, I just had my first 4 days on snow for 8 months so I’m not really pinning any of my hopes on qualifying to Saturdays competition! (went off the small kickers here in Morzine today and can only just hold onto a cab 3!)

I’m looking forward to riding a good park and going out for some drinks with the girls, too bad Jenny isn’t going to be there (she’s on a big Oakley trip in Canada right now)

See you all when we get back : ) xx
