In EDIAS it said he was British so I don't understand all the lol's. Unless that was a joke or something. I could see him being on there though if he really is British.

why wouldn't they have a slope team ? they have talented athletes and compete in many other winter olympic sports, including freestyle skiing. Can anyone tell me why this wouldn't happen?

The uk will have a fairly decent team. woodsy and leigh will be up there and by then tyler harding should be up there too. On the girls side the summerhayes sisters will sure to be at the top end of the comp.

We will not have a strong pipe team as there is not much training potential for pipe in the uk, but with the year round riding and the managent of shaples the UK slope team should be looking good.

You realize that to get third in the olympics would definitely be winning?

Especially for a Brit in the winter olympics

just like to add that Katie summerhayes came 5th overal last year in women afp. So give in 3 more years and she might be in for a chance in the medals.
