Jamie Nicholls is perhaps the best rider from the UK today, his career has so far been a long and illustrious one with podium results spanning the last 9 years. A decade ago Jamie was throwing 1080′s off the Halifax dryslope, today he’s throwing double corks and cab 160′s next to some of the world’s most talented riders.
We believe Jamie is a truly versatile rider and has what it takes to show that Britain with its some-what lack of mountainous terrain can still produce some of the world’s best riders. Not only does Jamie find it super easy to learn new tricks and help push the boundary of the sport but he can do it all on the kickers, rails and in the pipe. However, his versatility doesn’t come from being able to ride different disciplines, it comes from being able to do all that on the mountain, indoors and on a dryslope. This means there are not many places Jamie wouldn’t find easy to completely rip up on his shred stick and not many people can match that!
