As always, the Copper Grand Prix started off this season with a bang! The pipe got better every day, and it was awesome getting to see everyone after some time off. I ended up landing one run in the qualifiers, but in the end I didn’t make it to finals. Although I didn’t make it, it was a good time watching some other Burton girls throw down in the final! Congrats to Kelly Clark on the win, and to Maddy Schaffrick on making such an amazing comeback with second!

Hey there!
 
Wishing everyone a happy holiday! I’m super excited to get home: It’s been a long month in Colorado! After a few weeks of fundamental work with my coach Dave and A LOT of drills, and I am definitely happy to rest for a while.

This past month, I made the decision to not compete as much as I had last season (doing Grand Prix, Dew Tour, USASA Nationals, and both events in Rev Tour). I skipped the Grand Prix along with the Dew Tour and only entered Rev Tour Slope, which I competed in today.

Hey everyone,

Hope your seasons been great. I think last time I posted a blog I was on my way to Mammoth, California to compete in the Grand Prix. So lets pick up from there. After placing 3rd at the Grand Prix at the Canyons, I headed to Mammoth. The weather was pretty crumby so practice kept getting pushed back. When it finally came time for us to practice Slope Style it was a little windy. Practice was so much fun and the jumps were great. I was trying to ride cautiously because the wind was so unpredictable. Unfortunatel,y when I hit the third jump, I had caught a quick back wind that sent me far past the knuckle.

Happy March, everyone!

I just got back from Holimont, New York, where the third and final Race to the Cup of the year was held. We arrived late on the 21st and trained the next day. The race was two PGSs on the 23rd and 24th, and I couldn’t be happier with how I did. The first race day was very exciting, as it was beautiful and sunny. After time trials, I qualified for finals in 9th place, which meant I had to race the woman in 8th. I won and advanced to face Ariane Lavigne, the woman who qualified 1st.

Hey everyone Paul Brichta here checking in,

I just got back from a 3 week competition adventure. My first stop was the World Championships in Spain. First, Taylor Gold and I competed in the big air in Barcelona. The event was held in Palau Sant Jordi in downtown Barcelona, and it was a really fun event with over 8,000 people showing up to watch finals. After that we left for La Molina, Spain to compete in halfpipe and slopestyle where we met up with Benji Farrow. The World Championships in Spain was a great event. There was hardly any snow there, but the 40-50 degree weather all but made up for it! Everyone killed it on and off the hill (playing lots of ping pong). It was definitely one of the most fun trips I’ve ever been on.
