A kayak expert from Nottingham who became British freestyle champion hopes to win a world title in his hometown.

James Ibbotson, 23, has been involved in the sport since he was eight and won the national title last year.

Kayak freestyle competitors take it in turns to perform as many tricks as possible in the allotted 45 second ride time.

Each trick has a different value and bonuses are on offer for not using the paddle and getting ‘big air’ in tricks.

James is now hoping to become world champion when the competition is held at Holme Pierrepont in 2021.
