Ten Feet High Wake & Skate Series – Round One 2010

On the 15th of May I attended the first Ten Feet High competition of 2010.

I knew the comp was going to be hard, as every rider had been away riding in hot places all winter. There were 21 riders in the pro category consisting of some of the best riders in the UK.

There was some really good runs throughout the comp and it was a sick start to the season. I was very happy with my riding that day after putting a run together that got me the top spot on the podium. First win of 2010 and hopeful many more to come!

Big thanks to all the guys at Ten Feet High was a sick competition and I’ll see you next month. Peace x

WWA & King of Cable Comp

Friday 18th Sept – I headed to Princes Club, London for the WWA & King of Cable Comp. I entered Junior Men category, as I stood a better chance of being in the King of Cable final… which is a head to head of all the winners of each category.

The runs were straight off the dock and you did one complete circuit of the cable… if you fell you got picked up once. My first run was good but I knew I could have ridden better. I qualified 2nd which I was really pleased with.

Day 2 I had to get up early for the finals, my category went out at mid-day. I was second from last off the dock – I had a good run, including some of my hardest tricks, 313, Tweety and a 7 off the kicker. Everyone rode really sik and it was a close comp .. I came 3rd .. so on the podium but unfortunately not in the King of Cable final. Results here.

After the comp there was a fancy dress party .. I went as a chicken!
We had a great time .. Ash Templeman won dressed as Lego Man.

Happy Days !!!
