Trip to Lapland

While Pete was in Åland hoods I was in Lapland. It was pretty nice to be there coz it was raining like all the time here in Pieksämäki.
The summer of Lapland is cold and short but it`s OK for me. (there were minus degrees only at night time haha)

The very first snow man of July

 Cheers

Hey mates!

Sorry guys that we haven't written for a long time.. But at least my time has gone so fast that I  haven't got time to write down anything! Last weekend I was @ Ruka, but about that trip I'm about to write later! I'm just telling you  that tomorrow I`ll make great park to our local ski resort Häkärinteet, and in the weekend we have some jam sessions there! Later on, I will add some photos over here about what have I done and write my weekend at Ruka!

Greetings, by Pete and the others

Training!

Here are edits that have been made so far this season:

Boardexpo etc

Bujakaah! Last weekend me and Mikko were in Boardexpo. There were lots of new stuff. Season 11/12 is here! There was bagjump too.. it was so fun. I did few doubles there and one of them was captured on video..
You see it right here:

Today we were making a wooden system that is a base of kicker.. It`ll be huge! Maybe we`ll try to do some doubles in winter, who knows haha!

And the weatherman told, that this week it starts snowing! Hallelujah! And then we're going to shred  on Maaselkä, and grab some footage too for you to see!
Catch you later mates!

Kaamos-depression

It has been soo long time since we've got to ski or snowboarding! Though it's insane and cool that winter is close, just few more months and we'll be able to shred and jib again!

Next week our autumn holiday starts, and one of our members, Leevi, goes to Lapland and hopefully he grabs some footage with him! After all, Ruka opens in a week. But here in middle Finland, we've not seen any snow yet. 

But we'll have some rail sessions, that begins the season, and we've named it boredomelly SyysLounas (means AutumnBreak, but straight translation is AutumnLunch).

In the mean time, we wait winter more than ever, and hopefully it snows tomorrow or someday!

Now I could introduce our team members:

                                By the left: Leevi Autto, Mikko Pöllänen, Petri Laaksonen

Leevi Autto:

The one with muscles ;)

Very talkative & funny guy, makes people laugh!
Leevi's awesome snowboarder, raising talent in my opinion!

He has family at Lapland, so he goes there often, and can go hit some bigger jumps and cooler rails!

You'll hear that name some day!
Favorite trick is fs 540 stalefish !

Leevi has great inspiration ideas, about where we should go, what we should do, and gets always the right capturing angles!

Likes: Big jumps, rails, half-pipe,jibbing

Mikko Pöllänen:

Mikko just started snowboarding, so he has lot to learn, but I bet that someday he will hit some crazy tricks!

Mikko is very talented photographer, and he has shot almost all of our pictures!
In the future he will shoot some more pics and edit our films!

Petri Laaksonen, "Pete":

The lonely one with skis..
Favorite trick is definitely superman frontflip, and tail grab 540 !

Can do a frontflip blindfolded, makes it look almost boring..

Insane guy, I mean mad, have retarded jokes and is a clown!
Gets weird, but sometimes even working ideas how to build some jumps or develops new lines !
