The season kicked off once again with the London ski & snowboard show, hosted at Earls Court. The hip was the featured jump this year causing a nice bit of moaning between the riders. As always though we put on a wicked show for the mindless punters buying all the gear with no idea. One demo a day was fancy-dress or as put by Spencer "dressed up like a set of c**ts". A lovely range of outfits to achieve the "c**t" status ranged from a suit + G medallion, Mario, caveman to umpa-lumpa and myself in a black lycra Morphsuit. My girlfriend Laura was stood in the crowd for most of the demos and couldn't help over hear the many comments about mine and Murray Buchans thighs "ooh look at the thighs on him".
As for the rockstar skier lifestyle, I was sharing a room with Murray Buchan and Andy Matthew. We had a luxurious room with 3 single beds squeezed into the smallest room on earth with an inch between the beds if we were lucky! To top it off there were no central heating working, we resorted to a 2 layers of extra blankets on our beds (1 blanket over the the 3 beds) and watching Rob & Big Black. 22's son!
Lastly, I have to give a shout out to Joe 'Tomo' Tomlinson for the hardest slam of the week ending with a dislocated shoulder, 3 hours in A&E and the two of us sharing the gas and air on supply.
