   So for 2015 I really wanted the best footwear available. After looking around for a bit I decided that the best company would be FiveTen, as they also make the best climbing shoes. I have joined their Pro Team and will be wearing their awesome shoes all year. I’ll be riding with the Aescents found in the Yosemite range of shows, I have found these to be perfect for trials. I will also be climbing in their High Angle bouldering shoes, perfect agressive shoes for the my style of bouldering. So great to be teamed up with the best outdoor shoe company.

   This year I returned to the Bike The Rock event in Germany. Last year was a great event where I managed to brake yet another Guinness World Record. This year unfortunately the weather was not good, so we couldn’t go for another record. But We did a great contest and I placed 3rd on the first day and 2nd on the second day, dropping just three points both days combined! Vincent finished the weekend on Just one point!! Next up was Hannes Herrmann on a total of 11. We then did a great show infront of the podium for the crowd. Its such a great event and one of the best crowds I get to ride infront of each year. Huge thanks to the organisers for putting this event together!

   So the first round of the National Trials Cup has come and gone, held at Hook Woods Trials Centre in Surrey on the 12th April. It was a really great event and we were so lucky with the weather. Dispite being really tired and a little ill, I managed to get a solid second place. In First was curreent world cup leader and world champion Jack Carthy on 0 penalty points, followed by myself on 6 points and in third place was Sam Oliver who had a solid ride with 33 points. Thats really good going for sam as he was the only 20″ rider in the Elite category. Well done to all competitior and the organisers for setting up a great event.
