Latest

So recently a lot has been happening with my snowboarding life and with the majority of competition over for the season I will be focusing on getting new tricks. With the second and final leg of the Australian junior series over, fellow TSC rider Declan Vogel-Paul was crowned the junior champion for my age. With the park still in sick condition after the competition was done everyone had a super progressive day and I ended up hand dragging a back 5. With this on footage and other things me and my mate Ash Dean-Graham have decided to make a mini edit so keep checking back for that.

Hotham Junior series

From Friday to Sunday TSC went up to Mt. Hotham for the first stop of the Australian Junior Series. On Friday we arrived just after lunch for the Basin Rail Jam. This was not an actual event in the Junior series but was a really chill comp and a good warmup for the junior series. It also was a chance to see what the competition was like. With riders from All around Victoria and NSW it was tough competition. But In the end TSC took out the jam, with Cameron Staveley taking out 1st in the grommet division, Heidi Frahamer coming 2nd in the junior women and Daniel Klein and Harry Green taking out 2nd and 3rd. With the big air the next day everyone was pumped to finally be able to hit a jump. We had a 2 hour long practice so everyone had plenty of time to get their tricks. Unfortunately in Qualifiers I crashed so I did not advance through to finals but TSC still dominated the competition. With Luke Staveley 2nd , Cameron Staveley 2nd, Declan Vogel-Paul 1st, Harry Green 2nd, and April Shannon 3rd everyone was super stoked at the end of the day.
Looking forward to the next stop at perisher in A few weeks.
