 High
Wycombe this weekend, 5 - 6 July, will be the first port of call
for all budding freestyle skiers and snowboarders in the UK wanting
to make a name for themselves at this year's National qualification
circuit - The AIM Series.
200 free lessons up for grabs
Equally important though are the 200 free lessons that are being
offered to anybody who wishes to try either sport. Eager participants
just need to go onto the website
and enter their details to secure a lesson at any of the AIM events
around the country, each participant gets a free goody bag with
t-shirt. Everybody has to learn sometime, and it's not everyday
you get the chance to do it for absolutely free plus make a complete
plum of yourself in front of hundreds of strangers.
  
Last year, the AIM Series became the breeding ground
for emerging snowboard hopefuls and intends to replicate that for
freestyle skiers this year. A good number of the competitors are
sponsored / professional riders, however, the emphasis is on encouraging
more amateurs to compete and get their first taste of competitive
skiing and snowboarding, regardless of age, sex, colour, foot size
or star sign. Absolute Bo Selecta prizes will be up for grabs for
all competitors in a bib draw.
Snowboard, Party, Freestyle skiing
Saturday will stage the snowboarding event and on Sunday the Skiers
will get their chance to prove why they have forced their way into
the Series. Detailed programme below. Saturday Night will host the
dedicated lodge-night with DJ through till 1am.
It's a wicked weekend where people can try the
sports for themselves, compete, spectate, sun-bathe, watch the tennis
in between, burn food on the BBQ, crack open a can and generally
chill, all in the pleasant surroundings of Wycombe Summit's woodland.
