Alex came into the season just firing right away!  He started the season with back 2’s onto tubes and an incredibly strong rail game.  Basically, telling us: “this guy is going to have a really big year!”

Through the season he took his rail game into the jump line and the progress showed.  A highlight of this progression would be his cork 7.   Alex Strachan is very much a younger up and comer who we should all watch moving into the future.

Congratulations Alex!
