How to Boardslide 270 Out with Aimee Fuller
Olympian Aimee Fuller gives the low down on how to boardslide 270
Growing up just outside Croydon, Aimee first got her thrills from motorcross at a young age, turning to snowboarding during a spell living in America. After a trip to Oregon’s High Cascade Snowboard Camp, she was noticed by Roxy and signed up to the team.
She’s now based in Northern Ireland but continues to follow the slopestyle circuit around the world. Among her best results was victory at the 2012 Pleasure Jam, beating out the likes of Sarka Pancochova and Cheryl Maas. A few months later she became the first woman to land a double backflip in competition, at X Games Europe 2013.
After not making the cut for the Olympic slopestyle final in 2014, Aimee joined Ed Leigh and Tim Warwood in the commentary box to cheer on Jenny Jones. A handful of Angry-From-Tunbrige-Wells types were not amused, but the majority loved Aimee’s enthusiasm – a potential future career, maybe?
