Shadow Boarding is one of those unplanned events. This year I was Snowboarding in California experimenting with two the new miniature HD Video Cameras.

This was shot on the last run of the day using a Helmet mounted Contour HD. It was only when I returned to the UK and looked at the footage little did I realise that I had snowboarded down the mountain recording my shadow. The sun was behind as I followed the run back to the base lodge. Creating this great “shadowboarding” movie.

AirKix at Milton Keynes was the location for my first ever freefall experience. AirKix is a large vertical wind tunnel that allows you to experience freefall flight without the need to throw yourself from an airplane and hope that the parachute opens when required.
