So my blog has officially reached it’s first birthday and i’m so happy that the powers that be have gifted me a great birthday present. Large thanks must be aimed towards the Australian cricket team for scoring such a weak first innings at Lords cricket club last week. Because of that i managed to become [...]
Last week Japanese snowboarder Yuya Nakayama asked me where the post office was as he wanted to post a letter back home to his girlfriend. Yuya doesn’t believe in owning a computer and has no time of day for the internet preferring to write letters to people instead of emails. For him receiving a letter [...]
After last weeks festivities in the mountains of the south of France, Yuya Nakayama and Kiichiro Kazumi decided to head over to London for the weekend to check out “my ground” as they called it. My tour guide duties included sourcing accommodation (3 sofas the first night and a floor the second), Keeping them hydrated [...]
Last week over in France it was cool just wandering around the town of Les Deux Alps and checking out some of the resort during the summer months. They have so many chairlifts there and i can only start to imagine how busy and hectic it is during the winter. As for now, just peace [...]
I can’t tell you how much i love this time of year. I’ve just landed back in the UK this morning and have very little time to get prepared for Glastonbury music festival which starts this Wednesday. I missed Glastonbury last year due to being in New Zealand but i hope to come back to [...]
I always find the recovery process from Glastonbury a stringed out one. Having not had a good nights sleep for a week or any chance of a shower there are obviously certain things that prioritise over others.

There’s a website called Sleeping in Airports and i often take a quick look at it to check out if i can save some cash on hotels whilst on the road. Leaving Heathrow at 6am tomorrow made it only sensible to rough it at the airport. Heathrow is renowned for not being very nice to [...]
Kumi Yama – A French Organised, Japanese-themed ski and snowboard competition held in Les Deux Alpes in the heart of summer. It makes perfect sense.
The last weekend has just passed here in Les Deux Alpes where i’ve been basking in sunlight at an awesome winter event. I’d received my invite a few months ago to [...]
I’ve just returned from a great week in the French Alps and now begin the task of editing everything from the trip. My snowboard was reunited with me at Lyon airport yesterday evening. I think it had a fun week without me.
The highlight of the trip was Wednesday nights photo shoot. I’ll blog about it [...]
