Hi, my name is Paddy Graham. My discipline is freeski big air & slopestyle. My friends call me either Padski or Reggie . I was born on 15 January 1988 in Sheffield, UK. My special talent is gardening, but shhh, don't tell anyone. My philosophy of life is have a good time, keep positive, and if you fall down, get back up and try again. The most important person in my life is any one of my friends. My favourite food is sushi. My favourite music is rock n roll.

Bio

Paddy ‘Reggie’ Graham first skied after persuading his parents to send him to the USA on a school skiing trip. Having demonstrated his obvious skill and realised he loved the sport, by age 14 Paddy had had lessons, picked up sponsorship and was spending most of his spare time at the ski village in his home city of Sheffield in northern England. By 16, he was able to leave school to concentrate on his skiing career.

Paddy is now the UK’s number one freeskier, and his achievements include winning titles at the Battle of Britain London Freeze from 2009, 2010 and 2012, Red Bull Playstreets and Red Bull Tribal Quest.

In order to ski every available minute he can, Paddy is now based in Innsbruck, Austria. Among his interests off the mountain are rock ’n’ roll music, sushi, New York City and – his secret love – gardening.
