The Snow Centre at Hemel Hempstead hosted the 2011 Gap Nation a week or two back.

Featuring a channel gap kicker along with a great park set-up the event pushed some interesting indoor boundaries and brought out some serious gap creativity...

The DWA guys did Hemel proud putting together some cool features for the comp. Running over a 2-hour period, 80 skiers and snowboards of all levels hit the park. There were some big tricks from the guys hitting the kicker and prizes being handed out throughout the night. Monty Wright and Tom Saunders were impressing the judges for the Under 14s – laying down cork 5s and big spins.

A big thanks goes out to all the sponsors of the event: Atomic, UK Tall tees, AMC, Snow and rock, RK, FBBB and The Snow Centre.
