Longboarding

One day, when it was a good day to have a good day, I and Reelika decided to go longboarding. As I had unsure feelings for my knee I took it really easy this time. Even though it was really cool to do something on a board. So we went to Flims this time:

"Home is where they understand you."

Speaking about home then last weekend I felt very first time that I'd like to be at home. Not exactly at home in Pärnu but in Tallinn because of Simpel Session. It's a big skate/bmx event and I used to go there every year. So I kinda felt I was breaking the tradition and missing my friends...

Found this from Vans website:
"If you ever want to go to a contest Simple Session has to be on your list, it's the rider's from all over the world, the late night parties the quality ramps with a mix of street incorporated keeps everybody happy. See you in 2013!"


Harry Main (GBR) 1080 Degree Spin - III place

Drew Bezanson (CAN) Sick Drop In - I place

Axel Cruysberghs (BEL) - Fs lipslide

But oh well, life's good here in the LAAX bubble as well... Sun is shining, snow is slushy, BBQ season has begun... but...
...Crap Show 19. The best one so far. I like this aerial stuff at the beginning:

• the Brits are over
• the Dutch started
• season is almost over
• work is boring
• last Homemade was way too good
• i have no certain plans for the summer
• i have a broken ACL

I think I'm confused.

Skiers.

As I can't do anything in the park I just have to cruise down the slopes but come on, it's way too boring for me so sometimes I also take my camera up. I like taking photos of my friends because it's cool to share some nice photos with them later. Normally no one can't be bothered to take photos... it's all about the filming.

Anyway, I have some good skier friends and one day Pablo was filming and I just captured the whole action. If you don't like skiers then just pretend they're all snowboarders and concentrate only on park features. Spots: NoName kicker and Curnius snowpark.

That's a cool video of Finnish skiers in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Looks pretty ghetto but is also very interesting:


Okay, and that's for snowboarders:

BEO: men's halfpipe

Lots of photos and not so many words this time. The results:

2. Danny Davis (USA)

3. Ryo Aono (JPN)

"Standing" in the air.

The crowd...

I'm not sure but I guess that's the pistenbully called "Pamela". But she's "parked" well for sure.

Danny Davis

The parking lot in front of the Crap Sogn Gion, busy.

Rails are for everyone.

Crowdy crowd.

Creative spotpickers.

I haven't mentioned what's the thing with that astronaut-guy. Well... the theme of BEO this year was space, very original and was presented quite well. Down in the village there was a space tent (instead of igloo like last year) and Laax wasn't a "place", it was a planet.

"Fuck media!"

And also congrats to Laax shapers who won Mini Creative Use of Space Award – shaping contest.  What's that?
