Last weekend was the Relentless Freeze Festival at Battersea Power Station. I went along and had a few cheeky goes on the man-made jump. The whole scenario was kinda random – I got up, had a hotel breakfast, took my kit and board in the back of a black cab and drove to the London venue. I walked over to the jump area, watched a few folks dropping in and then got in a makeshift sketchy-ass lift that went up the side of the jump’s run-in to about 200ft.

Later on I had some mulled wine and listened to some great bands – Jet Black, Roni Size, Bedouin Soundclash, I Blame Coco and more.

Then I had time to enjoy the breakdancers at the fashion show, who are always awesome and make me wish I was a pro dancer or something.

I’ve spent the last two weeks mostly in London – nowhere near the mountains but around tons of snow enthusiasts instead. It was The Ski and Snowboard Show two weeks back, which was great fun and met lots of folks looking forward to getting their winter shred on. Ben Kilner and I had a Q&A [...]
