Bourkey Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Hi all,I know it's random but i have to mention it as im really proud of her.My girlfriend, Siobhan, is currently in training to be in the winter Olympics as an Aerial Skier. Basically you ski down a big ramp up into the air and do some moves. But trust me it's a lot harder than it looks and sounds. She was spotted doing trampolining by some bulb who wanted her to be in the Olympic team. She is very good on the trampoline and is now getting very good on the skis as well.And to make you a little jealous, every trip to Austria and Switzerland is paid for by Snow Sports England (I think thats who pays anyway), and all her gear like skis clothes etc.Well enough chatting. Here are some pics of the recent trips.Comments welcome.Bourkey Quote
ep91face Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 id tell her not to take it to fast that ramp looks dangerously close to that road :L Quote
StarletRick Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 she must be ubes for pais mate. free hilidays are also ubes. Quote
Bourkey Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks for the nice comments guys as im really proud of her.Unfortunately she is injured at the moment from the last competetion. She landed on the ramp after the jump but the ski stuck in the snow and she ruptured a tendon by twisting her knee. She was in agony but she was more upset she was unable to compete for the rest of the trip.@ Rick - What does she must be ubes for pais mate. I struggle to understand your ubes language sometimes. Im not ube enough.Bourkey Quote

Bourkey Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks a lot Phil. I'll definately keep you updated with her progress. Siobhan will be going out again in June if all is ok with her knee. She started Physio today and is having an MRI scan to see the actual damage of her knee. She shouldn't have been walking on it for a while but she already is so she is making good progress.She was actually on Blue Peter recently promoting the sport come to think of it. I'll let you know if she hits the screens again. Bourkey Quote
