The guy kills it! Landings to match wallisch, loads of tricks and just flows through a course with tonnes of style. Pretty sure hes gonna get a bunch of podiums next year. What do ya'll think?

yep, woodsy is sick! needs to work on consistency between qualis and finals though (even said it himself) as he does so well in qualification and then just doesnt quite get himself together to get him the place he deserves in finals. so inspiring to see somebody to come from the uk and do so well.

This.
Woodsy could be a medal contender at the Olympics IMO if he avoids injury!

Ha, I haven't thought about that, pretty sure it'll be even worse than the crossover judges.

It'll be Ed Lee and Graham Bell no doubt... Can't wait.

I reckon Johno Verity would be good (despite being a snowboarder), he's hilarious!

His WSI Slopestyle run was awesome. So happy for him to get up on that podium. One of the nicest guys too. How'd he get so good skiing on turf in the U.K. haha!

We've got a four day weekend in the UK starting tomorrow; I think it's his welcome home party.

whats not to love. awesome style, solid bag of tricks, so humble and he hasnt let an ego get in the way of what he loves to do. questionable haircuts but thats about it.

Woodsy is a baller skier and a nice guy. However after meeting him in whistler I saw that his hair is truly awful.

lol I know you were from the UK before I even clicked on your profile. but yes, I do think he is a very underexposed skier that will make the spotlight in the near future.

Currently not skiing with any major production companies. He has been a part of the uk based unity productions for the last couple of years. In an interview he spoke about wanting to film with one of the big companies but he just hasnt been approached yet. With that recent edit, other segs and how well he has been doing, it wont be long.

Woodsy is the shit. Got a lot of respect for him especially being that he is from Britain and grew up skiing on basically astro turf. One of the nicest dudes in the game as well.
