I can't explain how excited I am about the World champs in America next week! I really can't explain! This is the first time I will have ever been to a World champs and even though I was never good enough to make it as an athlete back in the day, I think im even more proud to be going as a coach. The team we have selected for the champs is awesome and super talented and its so good I know them so well. Im gutted Paddy (Graham) won't becoming due to his shoulder injury but he's coming to stay with us for a couple of days next week while he's doing some physio and to see a shoulder specialist. So this years world champs team will be Woodsy, Katie Summerhayes, Em Lonsdale, Andy Matthew, Murray Buchan, James Machon and Leigh Powis. As well as the halfpipe and slopetsyle events, there will also be the Moguls where Andy Longley and Ellie Koyander will be representing us and there will also be the Ski - cross too. Were going to be blogging and Vanessa has a press pass to take photos so we should get some great coverage to you. Everyone has been so supportive so a big thanks to you all.
