Targeting 15-24 year old's the aim of the campaign is to find undiscovered talent and give those individuals everything they need to succeed.

The Discover your Freestyle campaign is looking for athletes for the GB Park and Pipe Pathway team. You may be a skier already or you may never have set foot on snow, it does not matter, if you can show you have what it takes you are in with a chance of making the development team.
