I’m Aidan, I’m 15yrs old and have spent the last year training with the goal of selection for the 2023 Park & Pipe Junior World Championships – Freeski and I've succeeded.

My passion and talent has earnt me a NSW Institute of Sport Scholarship which has been a great achievement. The last year I had podiums in all my Australian competitions and placing 3rd in the Australian Men’s FIS (International Ski and Snowboard Federation) Overall Big Air.

In New Zealand, I competed in my first International FIS competition. Competing in the Men’s Open placing 9th in the Big Air and 15th in the Slopestyle.

I travelled to Europe for the northern hemisphere winter for further training and competition. Qualifying 5th and an overall 11th at the Leysin Men’s Freeski Slopesyle Open in Switzerland.

I have many goals I have set myself, short and long term. First thing to tick off my list is the Park & Pipe Junior World Championships, aiming to then qualify and compete at the Youth Olympics 2024. This is only the beginning of what I have set myself to achieve and I’d love you to be a part of it. Support and funding in a country where Park & Pipe Freeski is not a highly recognised sport is very limited and comes at a high financial cost. All money raised will contribute to the cost of coaching, training, competition and travel associated with these international events.
