Done. The 2008 season is offically over. You would think April would be the time for sun and warm weather, but not this April, its full on winter. For nationals at Cypress, we barely got through the fog, but when we could finally see, it was Torah Bright from Australia on top, with Mercedes in second and myself in third.
We had a short week off, and then the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival began. It was -15 at the top of the pipe when I arrived on the morning of the finals. The Japanese once again ended up ontop of both podiums, but Alex Duckworth put up a good fight placing 4th and I ended up 7th. After the bands and apres, I'm ready for summer!

Only a couple more contest to go...After a less than perfect performance at the US Open, I headed off to the Roxy Chicken Jam in Mammoth. I landed in 5th spot behind some really good girls and I'm happy with that, I think its my best result of the season. Mercedes, Dom and I spent 2 days at Ms Super Park, in June mountain getting some shots, and then peaced out to nationals at Cypress.

Another productive weekend is now behind me. I made finals in the Grand Prix at Killington, and ended up 7th. The pipe was pretty small and the finals were delayed until the next day due to thick fog, but they pulled it off and fun was had by all. Alex rode really well in the slopestyle event ending up 5th on Sunday. More comps to come, its a crazy March.

Brad and I both brought home some bling, grabbing the silver medals from the Stoneham world cup on the weekend. Brad is no stranger to the podium, but for me, this was my first, so I am really happy it happened on home turf!

Wow. Korea, what can I say, its just different over here. The hill is open until 3am with crazy Korean pop music blaring constantly and more fluorescent lights that I've seen in my whole life. They may not have any concept of personal space or what a grocery store should smell like, but they do have the man power to pull of a pretty decent event. I ended up 6th yesterday, which is a good result for me, I just wish I could have pushed it a bit more in the finals.

Its back to the European Open once again, but I didn't have as much luck as last year. There are some of the best in the business out here right now and I just wasn't riding up to that level yesterday. It was still a great contest and I was so pumped on Zack Stone and Harrison Gray, they both killed it!

No Canadian Open for Calgary! I was really looking forward to that contest, but I guess there just wasn't enough snow on the way. Whistler opened last weekend and Blackcomb opens tomorrow, unfortunately I injured my foot a little this fall so no riding for me just yet.

Its back to winter once again for me, I'm in New Zealand right now just riding with some friends and then meeting up with the Canadian team next week. The Burton NZ Open was yesterday, I ended up 4th in the pipe! I'm really happy with that result, its a great start to my season. There were a lot of other Canadians that made the trip as well, including my roommate for the month, Dom Vallee, grabbing 2nd in the quarter pipe.

The 2007 season has come to a close and 2008 is just around the corner. I've put up a few new pictures and my best guess of where I'll be this year on my site, so you can check it out if your interested.

The 2007 World Ski and Snowboard Festival has officially ended, and went out with a bang. The 80's style prom was one of the highlights, everyone was dressed up and having a good time.
The Japanese contingency was strong once again, taking both the women's and men's pipe finals, and I ended up 5th. It was a lot of fun, and I can't wait for next year.

I'm super pumped about the roxy chicken jam, it was an amazing pipe, and all of the girls were going off. I ended up 6th on Friday, and I'm really happy with that, definitely my best result of the season.
I'm just in Calgary now for the nationals, I took 2nd yesterday in the pipe, I think that's my 4th silver medal this year, so we'll see if I can step it up next season. Only one contest left, the World Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler in a few weeks, so I'll keep you posted.

Another double contest weekend is over, with another good result. The US Open was really fun, unfortunately I messed up and didn't make it to finals. But I did manage to rush up to Stoneham for the world cup finals, taking a 4th place on Sunday. Onto the Chicken Jam tomorrow...

I made it through the double FIS World Cups in Calgary this weekend with 5th and 7th place finishes. The 22 foot pipe was pretty big, and showed Brad Martin some love by putting him in 3rd - the only Canadian medal for the weekend.

I had a productive weekend in Whistler at the Showcase Showdown. Another 2nd place, pretty pumped on it!

Sorry for the delay, I was having some problems accessing the site.
After a somewhat disappointing result at the World Championships, Crispin and I made our way to Laax for the European Open. After bad weather postponing the finals, the event went off the next day with amazing weather and a great half pipe. The Canadian's pretty much killed it with Crispin grabbing the gold and myself with a silver. Although many of the top riders were in Aspen for the X Games, it still felt good to be on a podium once again, and both of us are stoked to be coming back to Canada with a bit more than we came over with.

After three weeks of pumping iron, jumping around on trampolines, diving boards and anything else we could get our hands on in Montreal, I'm pretty beat but I'm glad I did it.
I've just landed in Squamish, BC, my new home base for the season...I can't wait, it should be a good one!

Well I'm back from New Zealand now, and I've decided I'm not ready for winter just yet. The flight was long but well worth the wait, we had a really fun trip down there again, but I'm glad to come back just in time for some good surf.

Don't just hope they'll win, help them win! Buy a bracelet.

Welcome to my site, thanks for checking it out. A big shout out goes to Jon Burke at Demandesign for setting it up.
I've just returned from Whistler, where I was riding on the Blackcomb Glacier for three weeks with the national team. We had great weather and a pretty good summer pipe, check out my video section for some clips.
