Aimee Fuller: Most Stunning Snowboarding Sensation
 Aimee
Fuller is a 21-year-old British rider who oozes swag. Currently living in
Ireland, Aimee is gearing up for the first ever Olympic slopestyle competition
at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. Her discipline is snowboard slopestyle. She was
born on 21 July 1991 in Bromley, England. Her special talent is motocross. Her
philosophy of life is to travel the world, meet new people and above all, have
fun. The most important person in her life is her family and friends; they're
always there to support her .
Aimee Fuller is one of the most exciting talents in women�s snowboarding. She
grew up in the South of England, where an early passion for motorcross helped
her develop a fearless approach to jumps and an ability to compete against boys
twice her size. � We�d go to these meets and it would be me, blonde pony tail
out the back of my helmet, and 30 other guys lining up at the start!� she
recalled in a recent interview.
Like other British snowboarders, Aimee learned to ride on a plastic dry slope
near her home in Bromley, but after moving to America at 12 she began lapping
the terrain parks of the East Coast and progressed rapidly. A visit to the High
Cascade freestyle camp in Oregon saw her catch the eye of one of the coaches,
Roxy pro Erin Comstock, and Roxy have been her main sponsors ever since.
Aimee returned home three years later and is now firmly established as one of
Team GB�s brightest hopes for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. Combining
technical tricks with a relaxed, natural style, she has already achieved a
string of big results in slopestyle contests across the world, including
back-to-back wins at the Dachstein Pleasure Jam in 2011 and 2012. She is totally
comfortable going upside down and earlier this year became one of the first
women to land a double backflip.
Aside from the riding though, Aimee impresses everyone she meets with her humble
attitude and infectious enthusiasm. She is a dedicated professional that works
hard every winter but never forgets that snowboarding is really only about one
thing: fun! As the editor of a British magazine I�m stoked to see her
representing UK snowboarding on the world stage and excited to see what the
future holds.
 Aimee Fuller had her heart set on becoming a professional snowboarder from an
early age, so it�s just as well she always had the snowy peaks of South East
London to practice on�not! Hailing from the flat suburban district of Bromley,
Aimee would be lucky if she saw more than an inch or two of snow each year.
Therefore, as a child, she practiced atop a plastic dry slope near her house and
when she was 12, she packed up her things and set sail for the States. There she
began tearing up the parks of the East Coast, honing her skills and perfecting
her style. Needless to say, it didn�t take her long to get spotted by coaches
and pick up her first sponsor.
Aimee is now a well-established member of the snowboarding community. Focussing
primarily on Slopestyle events, she has already racked up a series of impressive
results in her career. Highlights include winning the Dachstein Pleasure Jam the
past two years running, coming 2nd at the Nescafe Leysin Championships and
placing 3rd in the Roxy Sno Pro. Aimee has also placed in the top 10 at the 2010
Winter X Games, a worthy title for any young aspiring snowboarder.
Now that she proven she can do it, she is fast becoming one of Team GB�s
greatest hopefuls for the 2014 Winter Olympics. But despite her rise to fame,
Aimee is adamant not to lose sight of the one golden rule of snowboarding: have
fun!
