Following the ISSSC in France, the British Snowboard Championships provided an excellent opportunity for the UK Armed Forces Combined Service snowboard team to compete against the best British athletes and raise the profile of military snowboarding. The 10-member team, led by SSgt Grant, trained under renowned coaches Sebastian Kern and Joe Mather to prepare for the slopestyle, rail jam, and banked slalom competitions. The competition was held in the Caingorms this year, allowing a larger contingent to go the Championships as part of a development.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”7083,7082,7081″ onclick=”link_no”][vc_column_text]The challenging conditions, with winds, fog, and limited training time on the features, made preparations difficult. However, the team made the most of the situation and still achieved some strong results in the competitions. Cpl Jasmine Furber led the way for the women, placing 2nd in slopestyle and rail jam and 3rd in banked slalom. AB Simon Andrews also had a good showing, placing 7th in the men’s banked slalom. Several team members pushed themselves beyond their comfort zone by attempting the larger jumps and more challenging rails. The competitions also provided important experience for those who don’t regularly compete at this level and the team received praise from the British snowboarding community for their spirit, attitudes, and contributions to the event. The exposure from competing at the British Championships will help promote military snowboarding going forward.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”7064″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]The benefit of a training week cannot be underestimated and is fundamental to the continued success and development of UK Armed Forces participation on this national scale.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Team selection for the UKAF team is considered not only the highlight of the Service Snowboarding calendar but also an honour and a privilege. The support and level of funding that was invested into the team this year was appreciated by all team members.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The opportunities that arise from representing at this level are priceless, and the benefit and experience that each service gains from their selected riders attending are immense. The overall level of Military Snowboarding continues to develop, and it is hoped that the public\u2019s perception of the military has been enhanced through the team\u2019s demonstration of professionalism, courage and team spirit.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]————————————————————–[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” highlight_color=”#ff7530″ text_color=”#ff7530″ style=”regular_underline” highlight_expansion=”default” underline_thickness=”1px” delay=”400″]Lieutenant Colonel Naomi Mack, Chair Snowboard[\/nectar_highlighted_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1663420711373{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n

This year felt different \u2013 I suspect due to the sheer joy of being out on snow, added to clear skies, and on Day 1, one of the best shaped, fair, and challenging boarder cross courses we have had at the championships. The ESF worked tirelessly to get the course ready for our arrival which meant that the athletes had the best start to training.<\/p>\n

All three services pulled out their top guns as well as some newbies, although there was a notable absence due to supporting activities to Covid that saw a reduction in the overall team strength.\u00a0 This called for an unusual revision of how we were to score the champs \u2013 in order to ensure that teams with less remained competitive.\u00a0 This called for the top 8 men instead of 10 competing in the knockouts, and the top 4 women from each service.\u00a0 This reduction made for no less of a competition however.\u00a0 The boarder cross was fiercely fought, with fear of weather coming in, the hill team needed to ensure a slick race was run.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”6532″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]The grand final was a split with four of the seasoned riders vying for top place.\u00a0 A strongly contested finish saw them over the line in a close pack with Flt Lt Patrick Morris, consolidating his victory from the last champs in 2020, surging to the finish line ahead of the 2 Army riders, Sgt Dale Gallagher, and Sven CSgt Benevides, and the RN rider Mne Chris Harrington respectively.\u00a0 It must be noted that it was clear that this was going to be a close run Service position, with the top 9 finishers contributing 3 from each service.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ladies race was no less fraught: the RAF looked the most threatening on paper with a seasoned team, sadly the RN were unable to field a full team this year due to operation requirements, which pushed this into an RAF Army head to head in the final.\u00a0 It was Maj Jess Drew who really excelled this year, just pushing ahead of Cpl Jasmine Furber (RAF) to take the win for the Army.\u00a0 Third was Gnr Jordan Buckley and 4th<\/sup> the multiple time winner of the Champs and the RAF Team Capt, Wg Cdr Claire Collis.\u00a0\u00a0 LSET Aaby Aldridge held 5th<\/sup> for RN, keeping them in the game.
