This weekend was the Barrow kiteval event, on the Friday they managed the get all the pros done and me, Sam Bull, Jack Daykin and Will Makinson went on a lagoon mission... We were successful! We found an awesome little spot with super super flat water and a sandbank in the middle of it so we were doing some crazy jumps off the bank into the water and trying to stomp it to blind.
Saturday was the big day... I turned up to the competition hoping just not to come last and in my first heat I came 2nd which was actually the first time I hadn't come last so I was really happy with that! Then on my 2nd head I was a little worried as I had Tom Verrept and Jack Brook one of my local riders, but I ended up have the heat of my life! I got a nice railey to blind, a HUGE dangle, switch railey and actually got a shifty to wrapped which I was really happy about.
After that heat I was stoked and then pushed my self to the max and got into the final, I then nailed some really good tricks and finished 3rd overal! I was absolutely stoked with this as it was the first time I didn't actually come last and I ended up on the podium. This has been an amazing weekend and I'm not dead siked for the next event up in Scotland hoping that I may be able to speak up into the podium again!
Some pictures and videos to come!
