HAMISH MCKNIGHT ON-BOARD WITH SNOTRIBEHamish has been at the forefront of the British snowboarding scene for almost as long as he..s been riding. He is now the Team GB Slopestyle Coach and will be travelling extensively with the GB team over the season working with the GB athletes at all the key international comps.
Over the years Hamish has continued to compete and do photo shoots etc while also developing coaching experience, working with the kommunity camps run by Neil McNab for the last 7 years.
He now divides his time between working as a snowboard expert in the Snowboard Asylum in Milton Keynes, and travelling abroad - to Europe, the US, the Far East, and even Iran. He is featured regularly in UK snowboard publications (White Lines, Snowboard UK, and Document Magazine) and his trips are frequently covered by travel and snowsports media from around the globe as well as being documented on film for channels such a Extreme and Channel 4. He is currently sponsored by Burton Snowboards, Anon goggles, Gravis footwear, Hurley clothing and The Snowboard Asylum (TSA).
POSY DIXON JOINS THE SNOTRIBE COACHING TEAM ROSTAPosy has a cool job as a Snowboard Pro for Burton... fortunately she's also found time in her hectic schedule to participate in one or more SnoTribe Camps and we're very pleased to have her on the team.
Posy has been riding for six years having started in Scotland at Hillend (Midlothian Ski Centre). Having proven herself in AIM Series and University competitions around the UK she was hooked up by Burton, Anon, Red, Coal, TSA and Gravis. She now spends her time between London and Myrhofen but has travelled everywhere, chasing snow from Canada to Austria, Iceland to New Zealand, competing in international freestyle events and filming for ..The Playground.. (Hungerpain).
When coaching Posy likes to teach good style, confidence, how to really enjoy riding and get the best out of your days on the snow. She has coached on numerous snowboard camps in France and Norway, getting great satisfaction from introducing riders to the wonderful world of freestyle riding.
MOL & TOM PERCIVAL TEAM UP WITH SNOTRIBEMollie discovered snowboarding about 7 years ago and life has not be the same since. Her honeymoon was her first season in Tignes and since then she has headed out to the snow whenever she can, spending the rest of her time riding the dryslopes around North-West England and working at the University Of Bolton as a Sport, Health and Physical Activity Officer. As well as coaching Snowboarding she also coaches Trampolining, Boxercise and Fitness. Now sponsored by Sapient Snowboards, Mission Six Clothing, 32s Snowboard Boots, Etnies Trainers and Subvert Board Store, Mollie has a long record of competition success.
Tom didn..t start snowboarding until his 23rd birthday when he was bought a snowboard taster lesson at Ski Rossendale and loved it! Having caught the bug he went religiously every week to improve, trying to get better than his girlfriend, now wife, and claims he still hasn't managed it! But however humble he is about his own riding, the rest of us know him as an experienced coach and rider, sponsored by Rome Snowboards and Westbeach Clothing.
Mollie & Tom join a fantastic team of staff and a coaching rosta including Gavin Carruthers, Posy Dixon, Mike Hanley, Rick Hutchings, Glen Lawley, Hamish McKnight, Pat Sharples. (Other coaches are joining the rosta soon - watch this space!) Visit the Team Profiles page to read about them in more detail and the other SnoTribe coaches.
