Review


September 13th saw the 2nd leg of the Westbeach Snowflex series go down at in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Whilst there were no cows at the top to watch there were 150+ spectators milling about throughout the day watching the skills of some of the UKʼs finest Snowboarders and Skiers.

The atmosphere was amazing, again bringing back the buzz of a good dry slope comp with the riders and skiers stepping up their game throughout the day… Col Mytton attempted 3 double back flips to wow the crowd, and many of the skiers were pulling it out of the bag to make the competition a tough one to judge.

In snowboarding, Matt Mcwhirter took 1st place with his steezy Rodeo 5 just pipping Andy Nudds to the post. Nuddsy just fell short with a hand down on his final frontside 10 of the day going MASSIVE off the renowned Halifax kicker… Taking 3rd place was Sam Turnbull who pulled a sweet open 720, also going massive almost past the landing….

Katie Summerhayes showed how the ladies do it, going HUGE all day with 720ʼs which was no easy job when the sun came out, giving her a solid 1st place in the Under 16ʼs ladies ski. Joe Tomlinson stood out in the menʼs ski category doing big inverted 7ʼs with Jamie Matthews skiing consistently enough to walk away with the amazing Fall-line magazine prize (look out for him in forth coming issues!)

Finally, the judges were impressed by Simon Cudlip who managed to nock himself out before the start of the comp, but pulled his confidence back enough to get himself through to the semi final at the end of the day, dedication to the cause.

The competition was a huge success, with some amazing riding. To check out the results in full along with pictures of the day (courtesy of Jools Smith) get yourself to;
