Comment on Littlewoods Catalogue Photo Shoot by Helen Catterall

It’s interesting to see what goes on with a photo shoot for the Littlewoods catalogue. I guess that most people just tend to think of the boring studio shots, and so it must be great to be involved with an outdoor shoot in what looks like a great location.

Comment on Snow Tour in Kickers Built to Meet Planned Sizes Shocker! by Paul Webb

Good blog Kat, I have been going thro a similar process trying to decide BST Cas v Westbeach final in France, both are my fav comps of the artificial season. Currently I’m 60/40 in fav of Cas because , a) BST have made a real effort to improve the format, b) In BST if I’m lucky a couple of Masters will turn up & we can have a bit of a challenge. At Westbeach I can ski all day but because I’m way down the skill level there is no measurement of how I’m doing. Also its easy to knock BST but for me getting into this at the AIM in Sheff in 2005 was the best move we ever made & its given James the chance to rise to top of the British scene & given us lots of fun & friends over the years. Without a commercially run set of comps we would have no natonally measurement of how riders are doing & still to this day the GB & Eng freestyle ski teams are picked with significant regard to how riders perfom in the Brits. Well done Kat

PS Loved the kickers at MK , shame the snow was so slow , a lot of the skiers persisted in hitting the big or medium when they should have considered going smaller for their bigger tricks but that is just using the right tactics on the day. I wonder why the MK snow is so slow ? We were at Hemel the night before & it was really quick.

Nice work Kat, nice to hear that there where no complaints about the judging (unusual), but it must have been a lot easier for them with a small field of riders.

One complaint that a few people told me about, why such a long wait from the comp finishing and the prize giving (4 hours?)
From what I heard there was a distinct lack of MK riders there?
The Burton High 5 had arround 45-50 competitors, only half a dozen or so had competed at MK.

Hopefully next year the BST can get their dates out a lot earlier, as they mostly clashed with our pre arranged plans and I’m not in a financial situation where I can afford 2 comps in one day.

Keep up the good work Kat, your so un-British.

Steve

Nice Blog Kat,

It’s good to hear that the BST have listened and done something about the events.

It’s also nice to see a clean slate drawn under all your reasoning’s, not that you should have to explain yourself to anyone, but it’s nice to hear your logic anyway.

Often you can’t make changes from the outside so the inside is the best place to be. And i hope the rest of the UK organisers are big enough to understand what your motives and reasons are.

The British Snow Tour is an integral part of the UK scene, but the riders have been voting with their feet due to cost, lack of dryslopes, crappy organization and the perception that Baron Von Brass is milking it for cash.

That said all the feedback i’ve heard from the Big Air has been positive, so hopefully this is the start of good things to come from the BST.

hopefully see you and Jools for a shred in the next few weeks… you big sell out ;o)
