Vid from Red Bull Performance Camp…

Just sick, dunno who the rider is in the final half of the vid doing all the rails but it is one of the sickest rail sections I’ve seen.  The 50-50 to front flip…  I want to try that, lol. :)

That’s British (hense the funny accent) rider Jamie nichols. He’s from Halifax in Shefield.. grew up riding dryslope. He’s basically the child prodigy that the UK scene has been resting it’s hopes on since he was about 8 years old. Jamie wrote the freestyle part of the pro tips section for our site :) Ripper for sure.

Good to see he’s blowing up in an international way!

When I said Shefield I meant Yorkshire, a county in Northern England.

Sick rider!  Do you know if he’s got any parts lined up in the upcoming films?

Jamie only finished school this summer so he’s never actually done a season on snow….....which is pretty incredible. You can catch a young Jamie in Blank Paper Productions (a.k.a. David Benedek & Christoph Weber) ‘In Short’. He’s only about 13 in the movie and he’s throwing 9’s and 10’s on dryslope. At 17 he’s already got bs and fs doublecorks, and every trick up to and including 1080’s (all four spin directions!), so it’s pretty clear he’s gonna blow-up on the international stage fairly soon…....fingers crossed! Be good for another Brit to meet the achievements of Jenny Jones who’s won 3 X-Games Gold Medals.
