This is an amazing way to keep school memories, having uniform, sporting colours and school tie made into a a cheeky monkey. When I get home, need to dig out all my school pins and add them to Monkey.
A quick video of my life over the last couple of years ! Never been an easy journey since 2016 and the knee injuries and recovery and rehabilitations, but learning and developing all the time.
I now move on to FIS next (FIS licence all sorted) and are delighted that I will be working with Mark and Christy at Snowsport Scotland, together with Ben, Nico and Mark at BRPC.
Massive thanks to everyone who has helped me in my Children’s years of ski racing, from Ski MK Race Team and the coaches and committee, everyone at Team Evolution, the staff and my amazing teachers at Akeley Wood School and Beachborough before that, Rossignol, Uvex Winter Sports, Leki, Slug Optics, Level, Team YSN, Douchebags, Hyperlite and Racer Ready.
Looking forward to new challenges ahead both on and off snow and a new education path (fingers crossed for the GCSE results in August in these very strange times).
During March and April AWS have allowed us to complete our GCSE Design Technology Practical. Here are a few pictures of the manufacture / test pieces / models of my healthy eating shopping trolley design.
Sad day, the Covid-19 is starting to lock down schools and work. Government have announced that GCSEs are cancelled, so all a strange time.
AWS have been brilliant to me and supported my ski racing. So a massive thank you to all the teachers and staff.
Three courses in 3 hours – practice at home.
Helping Zac to pull together his GCSE Skiing Submissions and loved this video – “pump it Zac” – thanks to Alex, Ross Green and Paul at Team Evolution Racing for helping in this part of the kids GCSE PE submissions.
Zachary Metheringham I am, sure you smile mid race when Alexander Reidy shouts !
Also love the support from other Academy coaches on the hill – dont hear that when stood at the bottom as a parent or in a warm and toasty timing hut ! More parents should get qualified as Officials and get on the hill and see and hear at close quarters the action.

Thanks to Reidy for helping with my Videos for GCSE PE.
Thank you to National Schools Snowsports Association Organisers and volunteers for an amazing schools race series. Also thank you to Ski Club of Great Britain and Halsbury Travel for their support of the series
My Senior Boys 1st Overall Series Trophy arrived and has given me a great boost during my rehabilitation.
Despite missing the final race as in the operating theatre at the time of the race, my performances throughout the series placed me Joint 1st with U18 Mikey D and U16 Jacob B – well done!
Thank you to the supportive staff at Akeley Wood School and ISA Sport
Massive thank you to Mr McElroy and the staff at The BMI Chilterns Hospital as X-Rays from today show knee operation to shave bone spur growth off my previously repaired patella look really positive. Great news that the cartilage is in really good condition and that the decision to operate was done at the best time.
Can start more bodyweight load bearing, and gentle short spin sessions.
Long road on the rehabilitation, but I have been here before and can do it again !
Thank you to all the staff at Akeley Wood School for sorting access with crutches, and massive thanks to Harrison and Ben for being my buddies and carrying all my bags.
(Pin from 2016 operation too deep and hidden in the growing bone to be removed – shame it would have been a good prize)
Reasonable 2nd run put me in 5th overall, and 1st Under 16 (and Under 16 ISA Champ).
Akeley Wood School A Team comprising Tom, Kayne, William and me, finished 2nd Male Team overall but 1st Place ISA School Male Team.
Great two runs from my Evo teammate Charlotte to win the U18 overall ,
Well done to everyone in the AWS B Team, with solid runs, and to my Ski MK Race Team, with medal winning performances from. Matthew, Kayne, Sam, Noah, Jacob and Toby.
Thanks to all the organisers and volunteers and Mr Tombs and staff at Akeley Wood School.
