Snowboarding maverick Billy Morgan has dedicated his life to
redefining what is possible. With two world firsts to his name, he
is also the first British male to win an Olympic medal on snow.
Emerging from working-class origins in Southampton, a long way off
piste, Morgan came late to the traditionally bourgeois world of
snowsports. Driven by a latent love for fun, he reaches far beyond
the cliches of stoner kids and street slang to explore the courage
required at his sport's highest levels. Morgan's specialist event,
Big Air, involves flying off a 50-metre ramp at 70 miles per hour,
spinning and twisting while airborne, then landing. Even within the
death-defying world of adventure sports, it is one of the most
dangerous disciplines imaginable. In this groundbreaking
autobiography, Morgan outlines the culture, ethos and philosophy of
his sport. A sport in which one wrong move can cause life-changing
injury. A sport whose party-animal practitioners feel peculiarly
attuned with nature. Drop In! is a testament to human potential.
