Rider focus: Steve Addicott – Westbeach, Salomon, Dr Zipe

We spent last week riding on the BoardnLodge snow camps, under the guidance of Steve Addicott.

Steve runs his own snowboard coaching programmes for pre-instructor training and freestyle coaching through his company Why Aint You Jibbin, and coaches many of the GB Junior freestyle team amongst others.

Through his training, he has not only got us better riders on the piste, but also performing sick flatland tricks, aerial tricks, spins, butters, flips, and given us park confidence – whether it’s hitting kickers or riding boxes in switch.

Steve rocks three main brands – Westbeach outerwear, Salomon snowboards and Dr Zipe goggles.

So in honour of Steve, we thought we’d set you out Steve’s kit, which we can’t promise to make you better riders, but you can look pretty sick too. (To get better at your riding, join one of his courses!)

He was rocking the Westbeach Alta Vista 10k snow jacket last week which Hardcloud have reduced from £180 to £144 in their winter sale.

If you use code JKX15 at the checkout, you can save another 15%, getting you this immensely rad Westbeach jacket for just £122.

The jacket has all the tech Westbeach are famous for, as well as 80G insulation, and 10k waterproofing/10k breathability, keeping you riding for longer.

Steve also rides the Salomon Drift Rocker, and if you’ve ever seen him ride then you’ll know it’s an awesome board – a true-twin freestyle board designed to slay the park.

It’s packed with tech to keep landings stable, take-offs strong, and hold when slicing the ice.

It’s light, flexible, and makes sure you have fun on the mountain.

What’s more Boardwise have it on sale from £280 to just £251.96, saving you those jager-dollars for the mountain.

Last but not least, Steve also rides for Dr Zipe goggles.

Last season, he told us why: “They’ve got this big strap so they’re super comfortable and they’ve never, ever steamed up. They’ve also got some super wide lenses so giving a big peripheral vision, meaning I can not only see where I’m going all round the mountain, but also make sure I can see everyone I’m training too.”
