Dave Compton
aka D.C.
The longest serving member of the Ride the Hill Team, Dave has ridden for us for years and years.
Dave has always been more interested in Freestyle than Racing yet he has a strong passion for Freeriding in the woods and mountains.
Dave has an impressive track record, doing well in the 2008 ATBA-UK British Championships, 1st in the 2007 Ride the Hill - Trampa Challenge but his most boastful moment was coming 7th at the 2008 Fat Face World Championships......7th in the world, he's not a bad rider!
Dave is also a main player in the BFC, a gang of mountainboarders formed through friendship and like-mindedness for doing silly things on Mountainboards. |

Rob Phillips
aka Bobby Swearbox A well known face throughout the British scene, Rob is a solid rider, specialising in BoarderX Racing and Freestyle.
Having skateboarded, surfed and snowboarded for years, Rob has excellent balance which gives him a big advantage for jibbing in skateparks etc.
However, Rob tends to be recognised most at XBP Mountainboard Centre, Redhill, Surrey, where he has been one of the top instructors for many years.
Rob has recently manned up and is now going upside down, whether he lands the right way up is always anyones guess though!!

Dan Freeman
aka Little Dan At a mere 9 years old, Dan is the youngest member of our team.
He has been riding since July 07 and is already at a level to compete. Having entered the 2007 Ride the Hill - Trampa Challenge, Dan placed 9th overall and showed off his natural talent by demonstrating his flips and spins. Dan then went on to place 3rd at the 2008 Ride the Hill - Trampa Challenge, with a super impressive weekend of riding, especially in the Night Air Event.
Dan is down at XBP almost every weekend, and truely represents a dedicated and talented rider.
He probably won't compete nationally for a few years, but when he does, he will be the new name on the street!

Will Copsey
aka Willie C
Heavily inspired by Snowboarding, Willie's favorite bit of Mountainboarding has to be rail riding. Whether its sliding, grinding, stalling or pressing, you can guarantee to find Will in the rail park.
Will is also very competant at Slopestyle, with a big bag of Spins and Grabs to boast of!
Not too fond of Competing, Will much more enjoys touring the country with the RTH Team and doing Demo's.
A highly skilled and well balanced rider, Will is happy to ride anything......or grind it at least!

Aidan Twomey aka Chavtastic
Aidan goes huge, simple as that.
He has been a Nationally ranked Trampolinist for many years now, and can't help but put that natural spring he has from Trampolining into practice when he riding his board.
Aidan rides pretty much all disciplines, but enjoys BoarderX and FreeX the most.
He is also one of our top riders on the 2008 RTH Demo team, and is brilliant at getting any crowd going.
Aidan is also the very first XBP Monkey to go inverted, landing Huge, laid-out backflips on the XBP Slopestyle when he wasn't much more than 14! |

Andy Packer
aka The Big Cheese Andy runs the XBP Mountainboard Centre in Redhill, Surrey.
He mainly enjoys Slopestyle the most, with the occasional Freeride session chucked in on the side.
Andy has been riding for over 10 years now and has a large trick book of flips, spins and grabs. Never too old to try new stuff though!!
He is a victim of an old trade and rides with full boots and bindings still, but happily shows you don't need a fancy lightweight board to land fancy tricks.
To contact Andy call Ride the Hill on 0845 0944 360 |
