ESS Billy Rail Jam

Thanks to ESS and Smokin Snowboards for a great day at the Rail Jam at Erina. Great new Snowboard riding the new Smokin Snowboard, then to top it off winning the Girls Rail Jam and winning another board. My bindings were shot so so cool to get new bindings as well. Great to have all the Jindy crowd up in my territory and had a great day on Saturday, then with Steph, Amber, Biba & Mel on the jetskis on Sunday.

Hey all,

Not long now....

Only 4 days till I leave and only 6 till I'm home :)

I'm definatly going to miss boarding but I guess it's only 2 months then I'm back down to Perisher again.

I hope everyone is having fun at home and the weather is good.

1st In Pipe & 1st in Slopestyle in Aspen

Hi Guys,

Blown away. We went to Aspen for the weekend to compete in the Rocky Mountain Series and I got first in both! Can't believe it! The pipe was huge 22' walls - Full Olympic size. Only had one quick run through before the comp started. Mum & Dad are here and it was great to have them in the crowd! The trip over and the scenery was awesome. Everything else good and looking forward to showing Mum & Dad around my town on my day off tomorrrow. Snowed all day yesterday and woken up to a bluebird day!

2nd in Pipe

Hi Guys,
Fantastic day! We went to Copper Mountain to compete again in the Rocky Mountain Series. Apart from having a ton of fun I got 2nd in the Pipe. I fell in both runs but still managed to only be 2 points behind 1st. Looking forward now to 2 days off and then the comp in Aspen next Saturday.

Love u all

Alex

Hey all,
Well today was comp day... Slopestyle. and I got 3rd
Hopefully better tomozzz in Pipe. Girl who got first was awsome. She got 48

I didn't hit the last jump on my first run. I didn't have the right speed so I pulled out but I did it on the 2nd run. Jumps were about 45', 50' & last one was 60'.Oh well I had a sick day with my mates. Lots of fun! Tried the big line, which I was freakkked about which only happened today!

Hey all,
I havn't blogged in a while - but that was because there really wasn't anything to blog about.
The last week I have been sitting at home resting up until the next team arrived here.
So the night of the 12th came and the team was meant to arive at Denver airport at 4pm.
Unfortunatly they missed their flight and did not get a flight till 8:45 and did not arive till 12am. Luckly the crew at the house knew what we were doing and Sav went to the airport and the new crew stayed over night and woke up early morning to drive to winter park for a competition. Meanwhile back at the house Jeanie, Lauren and I had to wake up at 5:30 to make our journey to Winter Park. Unfortunatly out of the three of us only Lauren competed. Jeanie still wasn't allowed to ride and I didn't get my form in on time. So we were the cheer squad for the day.
First day went by and we stood in the cold and wind watching everyone compete in slopestyle. I was soo dead by the end of the day I slept the whole way in the van. It was an early night then another 5:30 start to the morning and sleeping in the car for everyone,(Except sav of course)
The day was just like the first getting frozen toes in the freezing cold and watching my friends do all the work then ended with another snooze in the car from lack of sleep. Yesterday we headed up to the mountain just Cam, Lukey, Jack and I. Unfortunately Lauren caught an awful cough and Henry has sprained his wrist so we are a bit of an odd bunch and today and tomorrow are days off and I'm busy doing school work :)

Thats all for now
