Team GB’s Olympic Snowboard finalist, 22 year old Jamie Nicholls has released a video of his second ‘Hemel Run’ recording his outdoor-indoor-outdoor run through The Snow Centre indoor snow centre north of London.
In 2014 Nicholls filmed his first creative route starting above the centre then coming inside, riding down the centre’s lesson slope and out through the car park. The video was a huge internet hit, going viral and getting more than seven million views.
2015’s stunt, filmed in the spring involves a brand new route around the outside of the building and past The Snow Centre’s 160m Main Slope, completing seven different daring snowboard tricks including a Switch Frontside Rodeo 540 Spin (a frontflip with a 540 degree spin in the air) as he gapped a stairway from inside the centre and landed outside in the car park.
The Snow Centre’s team worked through the night to build the course, moving tonnes of snow outside the building and shaping jumps, boxes and rails over a period of 17 hours from a 4am start.
“I am excited to see if everyone likes my 2015 ‘Hemel Run 2’ as much as 2014’s footage!” said Jamie, “I just wanted to do something even more inspiring that would push the limits of UK snowboarding even further.
