Hello people I thought i would give you a little update on the last 3 weeks of my life which has included crashing my car, going to Portugal and getting really ill.
If you can remember about 3 weeks ago we had a night and morning of a full down poor of snow. I had been going to the gym with my friend Beau Bromham every day for about a week and a half and was really getting involved. As i looked outside it was all white but the roads looked reasonably clear so i started setting of to georgeham it was getting a bit sketchy as i got about half way. I got to the bottom of the hill tried to get up it and failed. I was going to park at the bottom and walk up but thought i would hit it at a bit more speed and i will make it up fine. Anyway to cut a long story short i built up a bit more speed and tried to get a bit of a run up to it. There is a corner to get round as well anyway i took the corner to wide and slid into a curb braking the wishbone on my car and leaving me in the middle of the hill. I went up to the local garage and they pulled me up the hill to the car park, i said thanks then he said do you want a bill or pay by cash FUCKER i guess nothing is free anymore well trust me this will come back round on you thats for sure.
A few days later i went to Portugal on an air camp with Joel Gray from Surfsolutions which started of as a bit of a mission as we got as far as getting on the plain then it got canceled and we had to all get of again. We where flying with easyjet who where amazing and put us up in a hotel for the night all food in. When we finally got to Portugal we got picked up from the guys we where staying with and taken to the accommodation. The whole week was run really well and we got to surf our brains out which was a long time over due for me for sure. We had one of Britain's top freestyle snowboard coach on the trip with us and it was so interesting to see how much extra rotation they can get from there airs just from there different body positions. The waves that we got weren't very good for a normal surf trip but as this trip was just concentrating on airs they where perfect about 3ft and onsure. The weird thing is that before i went on the trip i was thinking i was ruling on my land rate of airs but as you will be able to see on the vid that will be released at the start of the new year i couldn't land a thing it sucked i blame it on the fact that the air sections and just to good for landing airs every time i would go to big and fall. Greg Martin also joined the team on this trip shooting for Wavelength mag and now thats one thing that i thing i am alright at GETTING SHOTS. See with shots you can go as big as you want and as long as you have your feet on your board it will be a shot. Anyway that issue is coming out in March and will be there 200th issue so make sure you buy 2 copies.To finish off my week in Portugal i got ill on the last day i blame Stu Campbell who had been ill or week with the flu and as i had been sharing a room with him i am holding him 100% responsible. As the week has progressed i have got slowly better and today went to the gym for the first time. I won't lie to you and say i was fighting fit there was defiantly quite allot of cough brakes and i was out of breath within the first 2 mins on the cycle machine but it was a good change from sitting on the sofa playing XBox, obviously we did that after ha but thats just standard of any normal day.
If you have read this you have obviously read it i hope it wasn't to boring and i will update again as soon as i can.
