Congratulations to Tom Coe from Norfolk, who won the overall at the 1st leg of the Southern Freestyle Series at Swadlincote on Saturday 21st May. But better than that, he received confirmation from SnowSport England today that he has been selected for the English Freestyle Development Squad for slopestyle from 2011. This was based on his rankings last year and his Silver medal at the Brits in Laax earlier in the year.
This week has seen the Brits Snowboard and Freestyle champs taking place in Laax, Switzerland.

Just a quick News Flash & a big thank you for supporting the " newly formed " English SX Squad who had their 1st Team event this weekend at Hoch -YBrig.
It was highly successful " Team Event" coached and managed by Mike Hammond and Andy Proudlove.
Briefly the Team did really well and I was really pleased with their performances overall.
Monday 1st November, Switzerland’s freeskiing wonder kid Elias Ambuhl will come to The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead, only 20 minutes outside London. Elias is one of the best freestyle skiers of the moment and can make double cork 1080s, right 900s and switch double flips look effortless.
Freestyle skier Tom Coe from Norwich is riding high after a series of impressive wins on the freestyle circuit. The 18-year-old recently won his age group at all three of the Southern Freestyle comps held at Chatham, Bracknell and Warmwell. He also took the overall podium at two of the venues awarding him the overall winner of the series.
SSE are promoting a SSE Air Bag tour in the south.
It has been arranged with each centre how we can make it suitable and there will be systems in place for this such as loyalty cards and promotion on free sessions after attending 5 or so at that slope.
The Southern region are running a Freestyle series at Bracknell, Chatham and Warmwell. If you want to register go to their main website at www.southernfreestyle.co.uk. They have got some excellent prizes this coming season.
