Jamie Nicholls is going from strength to strength during his first full season competing on the TTR circuit. After making the finals at the O'Neill Evolutions six star event in Davos on a very challenging course Jamie backed that up with a 13th place at the premier European event of the season; The Burton European Open. To put this achievement in perspective Jamie had to come through two rounds of qualifications just to get into the semi finals, competing against 119 other riders. Here the 32 invited riders joined the competition. Jamie qualified 10th for the final beating fellow Quiksilver rider and Olympic bronze medalist Markku Koski. The standard in the finals was rediculous with 10s and 12s and double corks going down, the top 10 riders all scored in the 80's out off 100 which I can tell you is unusual. It's only a matter of time before we see him on the podium!
