Nike ACG UK pro riders Paddy Graham and Murray Buchan have slain the half-pipe at the Brits securing 1st and 2nd between them yesterday afternoon.Padds had been hot favourite to hold onto his crown having stormed the event last season but it is his fellow team mate and protégé Muz who has shot up the ranks.
At 15 years old Murray has technically only just graduated into the junior ranks but is teaching his older competitors a thing or two.
Muz's final runs included airs that defied his 5ft (and a wee bit) frame, 5s, 7s, 9s and even a coupla' switch tricks. Paddy, clearly enjoying the show as much as the gathered crowd threw in the whole variety of tricks including some epic 9s and even managed a double spread off a straight air.

The future looks super exciting for these two who continue to stamp their authority on all disciplines across the international stage and we're amped to see them enjoying it. Check out both their runs as well as a classy interview with Padds below. Anyone got a name for Paddy's 5 with the splits? I've heard of a 'splaffy' but that one's pretty off a new page...http://www.aimseries.com/0607/video/index.htm?vid=54053&title=SNO!zone%20Halfpipe%20Championships
More news to follow on their exploits in Slopestyle and Big Air. Whether Muz hits the SkiX course switch again this season remains to be seen.
