Thank U Snowboarding - S3 - Ep2 - Mia Langridge

Mia is one of the current crop of young UK riders who are blazing a path into the wider European and Worldwide scenes, and its quite incredible to watch. I've talked about how the UK punches above its weight in snowboarding, and I think its amazing to see a rider from humble beginnings, Knockhatch dry slope, which is quite local to me, and tiny and I certainly didn't think there would even be a scene there, let alone a scene which produces world class riders.


Mia stood out in the crows at the Spring Break this year, her riding was incredible to watch, and given that Spring Break is mostly populated by balding middle aged dudes, seeing some young blood hanging out in the bar then slaying the mountain reminded me of my early seasons and its great to see snowboarding still has that spirit, that it isn't all gyms and training, because for most, its a fun thing to do, then to sit and talk about it afterwards.


She rides for Dragon Europe and Yes Snowboards as well as the TSA, clearly her talent and enthusiasm for the shred is being noticed and with such a level head on her shoulders and strong work ethic, I can't see how she isn't going to go far...

I'd like to take a moment to introduce FourTwenTea, which is delicious tea embibed with CBD oil, which I have been drinking over this summer, just to help keep my brain from overheating.
