Can't stop

On a day like today you can't do much. You can either hang with buddies in front of Tv or updating facebook mood status every second, which sometimes can be fun. Just after i changed my status this morning, i got a call from my friend Marko.
¨Dude i know you're bored as me. Let's go do something¨: he said. So yeah why not going to Klagenfurt, the city just behind Austria-Slovenian border. On sunday you can cruise around the city or make the first turn towards indoor skatepark with a foam pit.

Because i couldn't take my bmx bike with me i had to take skates. I was laughing actually to myself when putting on the weels on the blades of glory. Getting tunes into my ears with brand new Skullcandy headphones and preparing skates took me at least half an hour. Easy times on a day like that.

Marko and Tim were already on fire doing some cool tricks.I just wanted to shred with friends and throwing some rotations into foam pit. Marko went for some double backys and flatspins and i wanted to throw some corks after flats. On a cork 10 i twisted my ankle IN! a foam pit and ended the day with a big smile and big ankle.

I guess that is what it takes to have fun and i am cooling it down for tomorrows surfing. Can't stop at the moment. I just have too much fun.

Warming up on Dachstein

This week, it took us less than 5 minutes to make up our minds and leave for Austria to spend the week. Some of you would call that a ski holidays, but I call it practice time and dialing new tricks just before the season starts over here. Because of really bad snow conditions all over the Europe, we couldn’t go anywhere else but the Dachstein ski resort has lots to offer anyways. Besides comfy apartment in the Kielerhof lodge and warm sunny afternoons, there are loads of medium sized jumps at the top of the glacier.

On the first day, I was kinda’ disappointed by how small the jumps are in comparison to the one we built at the Kanin resort last spring, but everything went smoothly. Started warming up my ankles and knees on the icy landings. Hard landing weren’t really good to my body but sometimes, you just have to be on it.
There were many of my skier buddies from all over the Europe, who were practicing for the Winter Jam in Stockholm. This event in the world’s biggest tour event, it stops in major cities to display man-made jumps. Ten of the world’s best skiers are invited to the series and they throw down the biggest tricks on the ski market at the moment. What has been happening in our industry for the past year is just plain crazy! Double corks improved so much that no one is throwing any other tricks in competitions. It is so dangerous to do the 3 or 3 ½ full rotation of the body with a combination of two flips over the head in the same trick, all that while grabbing your skis!

I wasn’t doing doubles on Dachstein but I sure had fun to practice natural (left), unnatural (right), switch (going backwards) spins on every jump. Definitely, I am ready for some slopestyle events from now on: I have my run dialed.

On the other hand, hanging out with my friends in an apartment and cooking food for them was best. We laughed so much when I was telling them stories from my summer in Down Under and Indo. We fell asleep after that, and woke up every morning ready for some action.

I am home now and I plan to do some photo shoot and interviews. Then, I’ll head back to snow and some waves.

Following snow in November

After surfing, staying at home and do nothing (well, not nothing, but just feeling that something is happening out there and I am missing it) wasn’t really all that cool. That’s why I called my friends Nejc and David, from Bled, to go to the Soriška Planina ski resort to check what were the conditions like out there.


Thirty centimeters of snow are always better than ten, so we managed to get some pipes and rails and had a cool jib session.
My Skullcandy team mate Nejc was just killing it on his snowboard. Threw down so many tricks I was impressed, maybe because I haven’t seen him for a while now. But as a rebel I always try to find something else to hit. I found a sick sculpture of a bear in the middle of the ski resort and I decided to handplant it over. Got some cool shots with my 4frnt manager David after just 3 hits. Great work for a Sunday’s afternoon!
On the other hand, that kind of skiing wasn’t quite the one I wanted at the moment so I decided to check the weather forecast and drive to the nearest glacier: Dachstein, in Austria. It has to offer one of the best snowparks at the moment. It is definitely not THE best one but it is always cool to meet riders from all over Europe who come here to practice at the beginning of the season. The crew of snowboarder buddies and me, as a skier, filled up two cars and we cruised to ‘Jodl land’. Bluebird, a few riders and us did laps for four hours on Tuesday.


People often go to work on weekdays… but we did a good job as well.

Slovenia rocks

Start of the season over here in Europe? It is just great to come home after 5 months of Eastern world and its mentality, call friends and go surfing on the Croatian coast on a huuuge jetlag. Five hours of sleep and driving a friend’s van, because he’s too tired after 10 hours of sleep, can’t get better. Red bull overdose and slaying our ship on wheals down to the coast. And nothing can surprise more than a snowfall all over Slovenia at 3am. Like going on a ski vacation in France! But no, we were just cruising to Medulin, a spot in Istria that only works after couple of days of SW winds. Coming there at 6am and watching the biggest waves I have ever seen over here with my friends was the best feeling. Don’t get me wrong. Australia and Bali were great but here… This was just the sickest thing ever. Coming from the snow-coverd inland to the stormy coast, where there is no sign of other surfers, just woke up my ‘adrenaline seeking’ side. I didn’t even think of anything else but grabbing my board, rubbing some wax on it and rushing into 16-degree-cold water after putting on the tightest wetsuit ever.




We were in the water for 3 hours and I started to feel cold as never before. Coming from the 34-degree-hot Singapore to the 8-degree-really-not-that-warm-with-the-windchill-factor Croatia can’t be really good to your body. But still, getting all those cool glassy waves and shreding on them with a big smile on my face, almost blue from the cold, just made so much sense as my welcome-back-home trip.
I was so happy! After catching some right handers, we grabbed a beer. It just couldn’t get better.

SUMMER / WINTER IS WRAPED UP IN A COOL PACKAGE

I just came to Singapore from Bali. Aircon room after a month of 32-34 degrees. Feels really cool to just chill in a room, write some words for you guys and just remembering all those good days i have spent in Australia and Indo.

My first plan was just to travel first time in my life that far, meet new people, new culture and work as a ski instructor, do some little competitions just for fun and at the end go to Bali to learn how to stand up on a surf board. But now...i am the happiest person and grateful for what i have learned, did and tried. I understand now that my home is here, around the world, but still i missed my country and am pretty glad that my flight back to Slovenia is in 2 days. It will be just sick to get back and share feelings. ...so back to the plans...even if i didn't travel around Down under as i expected i finished my winter season with 7th place in thredbo slopestyle, 4th in Big air finals and 1st on One hit wonder event (after a knockout on a second day -check it in a clip at the end). Don't want to claim to much but that made me really happy and stoked to start my (the real) season in Europe.

One Hit Wonder 2009 Wrapped from One Hit Wonder Event on Vimeo.

...2nd thing is that i've learned how to surf on a board which is not really similar to skis on waves that are just perfect. I admit that sometimes was rough and just silly looking at me first time on Bondi just smashing the water without any result to paddle out in the line up and cutting my cheek and getting some stitches.

Apparently that was really funny to my good friends over there. But at the end i am glad that after 12 days of Salmonela poisoning i was still able to improve and just in last week changed the board for a smaller one and finally shred waves not only cruisin in the white water. Had the most fun to share that with slovenian friends in Kuta. they were also glad that i'm gone...haha



And at the end i am really really stoked for the new movie that is coming out in a few days. Last year i was filming with Finish film production Hame and shooted some cool stuff with Slovenian Outofnowhere production and New partisan films. I am announcing the trailer for a movie called +358 where you will be able to see some of my last year skiing.

The trip was bagus (good)
Salamat minum!

INDO is siiiick

I am in Indonesia now for almost a month and started to miss our land, snow and friends. You can get new friends over here, more like meet some new people. But sometimes it is just not the thing you would like to do for the whole time.

I can' t complain on surf, because it is just great to have a swell and some breaks just infront of your door. It feels so free when you re out there and craving for the biggest one in a day, in a whole trip. But i guess i am skier just because of the one reason. Still missing some drops and pow times with buddies. That's what's keeps me going and definetly will try to shred as much as i can after 2 week when i get back home.

Indo is one big happy world...Poverty on one side and true happines of locals on the other. It is great to have them near for inspiration. Yo

We can't do great things in this world but we can do small things with great love !

So it’s time to go deep again...haha...that’s what surfers do and lately i am hanging out mostly with this branch of people...

It’ s pretty cool to wake up in the morning, have a breaky, do the morning things and than go for the waves....It is cool...but i think you can do it only for couple of months...it just gets boring...so that is exactly what i will do...

Hang out in Bali for a month and than back to Europe where i am sure the snow cap mountains will be screaming for the fresh pow...

at the moment i am sitting in a coofee bar in the middle of Bali streets...every day eating thai food,surfing and waking up in early mornings, stopped by police, bargain with them, struggling on scooter bikes on streets to get to the other side, not crowdy one...to really feel the island and the ocean...but why do i write that?...
...just because the life of a traveler / skier/ surf wannabe-er is like that...meeting new culture, taking shots and writing on a blog...

Last month in Australia was epic..after shreding on One hit wonder event i visited Clovelly side of the Sydney and print in best memories...after couples of days of surfing “i was attacked by huge white shark and got 5 stitches on my face...You should see the shark!” That’s what stories of locals are like over here...

I didn’t want to listen my girlfriends mom who is medical nurse, and went into water with those itchy stitches an black eye 2 days after incident in the white water.

Had best days and now...yeah i'm here and am wondering how will the life in the earthquake area be in the next month...unknown is ahead...let’s try to have a bit of unstressed surf life now and than for a bit back to reality life...but i am sure that that fresh pow is waiting somewhere and that soon the THE day will come...

“Such is life” impressed by Ned Kelly’s last words in Australian must see movie...

Onehitwonder 3rd day
some tease what had happened on that sick day, everyone was in the mood for going big and charged from 11 till late 15....
check vid.

Just a Tease from Day Three from One Hit Wonder Event on Vimeo.

Onehitwonder 2nd day

On a second day we aparently had sun and loads of time to shred on a great kicker, unforunately i knocked myself out at the end of a day and dont remember anything. Luckily our photographers and cameramens put everything online for you and me to see what was going on...check it

A Brief Wrap of Day Two from One Hit Wonder Event on Vimeo.

Onehitwonder 1st day with Russ Henshaw

For sure a cool sesh, throwing down some lazy things and Russ stepped it up with dub cork 12, dub cork 10 and other crazy things...That guy is on something i can tell, maybe is just Redbull and i dont consume it enough in last days i guess, but i think we gonna step up the game tomorrow for another session and there s gonna be a sunset shoot aswell...

good times

Thanx Russ for stealing HIS photos and put it on my blog....yeah
Australia rules!

SPRING BREAK

Season is coming to the end and so many things have happened. My mind is not even able to process all those great days on snow, all those parties, all those faces,... Memory card in my head is just filled.
Despite Australian weird and unpredictable weather and shitty august, winter over here is friendly to a freestyle skier that comes down with different eye to observe...All these mini drops, ridges, pow pockets, tree logs,...so near groomed tracks...i am happy that narrow minded weekend warriors don’t throw their eye on those features...
However i am really happy to meet all those guys and girls i can share those feelings with on barbecue nights down in spring-warm Jindy.
All of us with the same motivation...as a ski instructor over here, you just want to live every day as the last one and make the best out of it. Taking the advantage not to be booked for an hour and jumping to the park, slaying some freshie or going for the biggest hit of the day into pipe. Every run counts...
At the end of the day we are pretty much destroyed, falling asleep already on a ski tube or in a car on the way back to apartment which can look like Nagasaki in WWII just because of a rough last night...Probably spending weekly payment in one of the clubs, ending hugging yourself or a girl in uniform that looks totally different than during the day in uniform with a hat and goggles on...yeeeaaah... closer the end of season is, wilder the girls get in this 3months lasting sausage festival...
Ski hard, party hard...that motto is common to group of my buddies who have motivation also for some filming and shooting...because of pretty good snow and bluebird day we decided to share some of the shots here on my blog...
Here are some shots to see how the day looks like by waking up at 4.45 with ‘stoke alarm clock’ and going up the mountain in the back of utility vehicle... Enjoy!


















I was also 4th on big air finals of Thredbo freeride series, got robbed little bit and now i am waiting for King of mountain event in Perisher and One hit wonder event in Thredbo on a 90ft. kicker...

Peace ouuuuut

AUSSIE part 2

I am sitting at a coffee shop in town that is situated almost on the other side of the world and am feeling like home...wondering why is that so? Is that a vibe mates over here are filling me with every morning, is it a special person that comes by when i am wondering what i am gonna eat in evenings, is it a lake glaring in a morning sunlight, untouched flora just few meters from my front door?...

...not alone but still lonely, wishing my friends and people i care about a lot would be able to share those feelings with me every single day... that fresh snow that is splashing around when skiing fast in early mornings on the mountain, an orange sunset when coming of the mountain, animals chewing their daily piece of wide pastures...

...few weeks ago i was talking with a guy that said that Australian students over here can be very lucky to get this opportunity to share those things...what am i than? super lucky? i guess... in only good month staying over here i’ve met so many warm people that wish me all the best every second, saw so many things i don’t even know if i will be able to see again, shared those special moments by the lake, near football field, in movies, in small room in apartment, on a big snow carpet, ... every second is worth to wake up early and go to bed in late hours...

...some details mean so much if u see them with a bright eye...

...even a view from apartment can be better if u turn your head for couple of degrees...


...there is so much behind of first impression and every single thing has a reason to exist...
...even an action isn’t just random...
...it cannot be just a luck!...

Aussie is bomboclaad

What up everybody,

it's been a long time since i've last wrote something on blog...pretty much because since i got here in Australia i haven't got a day off and internet is soooo slow...

for the start check out mini edit from end of the season on Kanin and Vogel...had a nice sess with friends that are now on Bali and i am pretty much freezing over here in Jindabyne...
http://vimeo.com/5434351

I am having a big fun over here...non stop instructing, riding cool medium sized park, hang out with cool people, having a blast on parties, chillin by the lake...u name it, Jindy has it...

after coming off a 23 hour flight and directly into 6hour drive with bus i settled down quickly with 7 house mates...

...hitchin is best thing over here

...ride through national park offer best views in the morning...i like watching kangy's...
...and a view on a lake...i wish i was on a BoAT...hahaha

oh yeah btw...yesterday was my birthday party...good times

i"ll return to you soon...

STILL WORKING BEFORE LEAVING SLOVENIA
Before leaving Slovenia it is so much work still to do...getting into skiing mode, satisfying sponsors, getting my body healed up after a crash on bmx and cracked pelvius- bone that holds bot hips, hanging out with buddies i won't see till November,...

2 days ago i've been invited to do a show for Slovenian turist conference that was held in one of the most fancy hotels in Slovenia... Habakuk hotel in Maribor held our show in their own backyard by the pool in almost summer conditions

...hanging with the crew after a show happy...

...the whole thing wasn't big, but looking cool enough...

...looking cool among suits...

...a dinner...mmmmm...

...waxing my 4frnt skis to go faaaast...

...a bag is hard...so better put my knee brace on...

...in winter gear by the pool...priceless...

...do you feel sLOVEnia????...

...not a big deal throwing some tricks for 500+ suits...

LESS THAN A MONTH

That's right...i am leaving Slovenia for a summer over here and i decided to spend it in Jindabyne on Perisher blue resort with some coaching and training and preparing myself for next winter season in Europe...After spending winter time in down under till October i will visit Bali's best waves in whole world and i cannot be more grateful for that...

Thanking my mom, Redbull and others for financing me that...

Till than enjoy Redbull music academy radio!!!

SPRING SUMMER WINTER

Yo

finally getting back to this site...pretty much nothing has changed from Rambo air sesh...we tried to make it out 2 times more but weather wasn't really on our side so i decided to chill out after this long season...went on Kanin to shred with friends...


...tried some filming but unfortunately just one day late with too much slush already so...



...back on the road to our closed resort, best mountain ever, Vogel to do some filming and late season jumping...



We've tested a crane from our friend and the shots are looking so sick...We are really looking forward to shoot with this monster again (thanks to Luka Stanovnik and buddy Istenič MOfos)here is an edit how's crane working, unfortunately you can not see our shots, because they will be used in a movie.

crane edit from Dominik Istenic on Vimeo.

...summer is coming really fast and i know it's gonna be boring without skiing... why not go to Croatia and learn how to surf on waves...best feeling ever after putting so much effort to come out on the spot,paddle hard, diving into the waves, coming out of hammering of so much water...and than finally catching the wave in a right moment and shred on it... i am really a rookie comparing to my buddies Matevž, Urša,Nejc,Domen,Mitja,Jure but i was so stoked on that that now only thing i am doing is asking what's the weather forecast everyday to catch the right timing for waves again...





...in the meantime there is always some bmx action in woods with Rok and others...this year dirt park got 40 take offs and some mini track on it...it cannot be better...


...and if the weather is not right...wake lift on a Krk was a good option this weekend with Robi, Jan,Rako,Ana,...doin some water tricks is definetly easier than coming on a surf spot or on Rambo air, but also fun...

Rambo air is on

Rambo air part 4

1st try today...still some shaping to do but otherwise 's gonna be cool:)

Big air project Kanin part 3

Kicker is built and the man is happy:)




Big air project on Kanin part3

BIG AIR PROJECT KANIN part2

we built the whole knuckle and jump today...25m of flat looks pretty cool

BIG AIR PROJECT ON KANIN MTN.

Wazaaaap...the Kickstand is back with a new project going on in Slovenia! booyah...

This time i made a decision to speak with managers of Kanin mountain,the only one left with a snow for actually skiing and not only barbecueing...And we came out with a plan to get a big air jump done for us...It is actually the idea of us since the last year: to build a jump at the end of a season, have some good sessions with some sick filming and photoshooting going on and have tons of fun flying true the air...None of us actually didn't work on that so i decided to get us into managing mode and try to settle with the Kanin ski resort to build us a special jump (first one that size in Slovenia) so we can film for our new slovenian snb/ski movie coming out in fall...
The kicker is set on the only possible good location...the lift is not working on that area and we have lots of space and almost 7m of snow under our feet:) The views from some camera angles are sick and i am telling you that at the sunrise at 6am there will be some action going on in the air...

Check out the first 3 days progress with one cat and you will understand how excited i am everyday after work on mountain;

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER

Yoooo...after 3 slovenian freeski tour comps i am back on track...feeling great to win the last comp and claim the whole tour which has gained respect in Slovenia in this season...i still have to figure out some sistem for me not organising things on comp day but...so i won 1st slopestyle stop, 3rd on halfpipe stop and 1st on big air stop...finally got some money to eat better meals again and to do some filming in next month...




Plans for summer???...at the moment i am waiting for confirmation to work as a ski instructor in Australia and than in september some training in New Zealand and some Bali surfing at the end of september...I hope this season will pay off for me in the next one with some better results and hopefully some more budget from sponsors to compete and film even more...

4FRNT

Since last year's ending with Salomon i've been without ski sponsor for almost whole this season. My true sponsor was 31gorillas.com with some Movement skis...Last month we talked to 4frnt guys and they were super cool with the idea me joining the team of one of the world's best ski brands. This brand is truly made by riders for the riders and some of the big names and pioneers of freeski revoulution are part of the company as well (Matt Sterbenz, Erik Hjorleifson, Cr Johnson, Vincent Dorion, Steel Spence,...).

So i am stoked to ride for 4frnt from now on and will try my best to present the brand's quality and not to do some same mistakes from the past.

Day in the Ghetto


Day in the Ghetto from Andro Kajzer on Vimeo.

What's up every body...Last week i was at invitational event in Czech republic...Was driving for 11 hours and almost crashed few times on the road but i managed to get to Deštne, small village in Czech mountains, which look like more the hills...Whole area is about 600-1000 m high and only the top is covered with a snow. That is why i wasn't expecting too much of this event when i was driving towards it.

But then i came and saw the setup and the whole thing blow me off. Was so stoked to see perfect shaped kicker with lots of air time, a bit skushy landing and super fast inrun....I was carried to my room by sweet redbull girls hosting....



Next day invited riders had only training and others qualifications (4 wild cards) so i was pretty much chilling and trying to figure out the speed in every conditions and also in switch riding...


The roullete was one of the most scariest things in the course, your destiny was made in few second when ball dropped on a number of the trick...for me and my opponent Pepe dropped on pretty cool tricks so we had fun but maybe judging wasn't so fair and he went through...

In the mean time we had soooo much fun with pirate crew (Szczepan Karpiel, Cory Hodges, Jamie Matthew, Bine Zalohar) and we enjoyed every second of this event...we were non stop all over the place hanging in rider are, hitting kicker in a group, trying to figure out what Czech chicks like, ...


Red bull cola is sooooo splashy

At the end this was one of my best events in the season and i am stoked to hopefully ski it next year again.

Pce out

Today i got home from crazy skiing city called Schladming in Austria...Schladming held one of the biggest big air invitational events in Europe, Newschool picknick.

The setup of the really good shaped, not big jump was positioned in the arena of the Olympia stadion. 30 riders from all over the world was challenging the 2 quali runs and after 3 final runs only 10 of them progressed to finals. After a practice we thought that kicker is too small for throwing some big tricks and inrun and landing was really sketchy because of the slushy snow. But after it got seriouse and tricks like sw14, swdouble cork 12, double cork 10, double flatspin, sw12, sw10 were dialed by the big names like Russ Henshaw (winner), Bene Mayr (2nd), Elias Ambuhl (3rd), Patrick Hollaus, Fabio Studer, Kim Boberg, David Lesh, Steffen Hamre, Thomas Hlawitchka,....

I ended up dying in the ground at the practice. I did smooth sw7 nose and landed on the slushy landing, my ski caught the edge and i ended up twisting my knee, falling into hard packed landing and ended at the bottom with dislocated shoulder and bumped knee...I ate some painkillers and decided to try only qualis without further practice. In the qualis i did sw7 which was landed a little bit too far and got my arm down and revert and almost fell on sketchy transition of the landing, so i wasn't happy with a trick but just with the fact i didn't end my season at that point... sometimes smart decisions are better than a poker face.

we ended partying in Tenne which was really sick. Guys are like family and the whole european comunnity is sticking together more than anything, so i am stoked what we are about to see in next seasons.

so...i can not go to freeski open in Laax because of my late registration so instead i'm about to take rehab now for a week or two, depends on progress and than film some kicker shots, maybe some pow and some trip to some nordic country, hopefully...that's it that's all

Peace

P.S. i will get back with photos as well.

National championship - slopestyle

After i came from Finland pretty tired i had to go to next competition in Slovenia in Kranjska Gora...This was the first stop of the Slovenian freeski tour and it also counted for nationals...

The setup wasn't big enough to do some big tricks so i decided to start with a lipslide on down bar, right 5, sw7 and pretzel 270off wave box. in second round everything was the same except did right 7 on the first and left 5 on the second one...i did it steeze and earn the first place...

peace

EVOLUTION 1.st Slovenian freeski film

EVOLUCIJA from Jure Niedorfer on Vimeo.

Evolucija aka Evolution.....is the first Slovene freeski movie. Slovenia has a very long tradition in skiing but till lately hardly any attention has been given to freestyle and freeride skiing. The main goal of the movie is to present this kind of skiing to the public and so encourage the development of this sport. Also a story is being told from the two main protagonists, Bine and Jani, about what freesking means and gives to them. If you don't try, you will never know.

Red Bull Playstreets - the sickest event in Europe

In my 4 years career, this year i had the first chance to go on one of the biggest events in the world. Red Bull Playstreets!!!

It is the event where you can let your self go totaly free, have a really good time, party, go big on the course, hang out with friends, drink liters and liters of Red bull, have everything what you want in your life...

The exposure is huge and the course even bigger...Trust me ... it looks way easier on TV!


This year setup started with a crowd drop from a 10m high roof top straight into trees where corner was waiting to blow you high at least 4 meters and show you to 10000+ head crowd cheering you up...In this time you were so pumped to put all the effort and pump into the corner's landing to get a speed for big air kicker that blow you directly in the middle of Bad Gastein's heart. After spoting a landing you had to do a good speed check, because your next move was to drop of a road step down through a really narrow part of the city...after surviving that you 'just' had to slide a box on top of the roof of Jagerhausl restaurant...Easy as that!

Warm up session and 3 practice runs day before isn't that much rider would expect, but if you want to be on top of the game you have to put all in and step it up. I had decked a kicker 3 times a day before and overshooted a step down road gap so i had to change my tactics and decide to not do a 270 on a corner to maintain the speed for the kicker ( i'm a short and light). after doing 5 with true nose poke and landed switch i also had to jump the same drop, i crashed on the day before ending in the concrete house with my head, with a cab 3 and revert before the box. On the box all of the guys were doing the same thing, some switch ups and normal off's, so i decided to do a switch up and pretzel od which was the most scary move i made on rails before...I couldn't see anything, just felt the end of a box and landed switch on a steep landing into finish area!...feeling??? dont ask me that....it was blowing my head off, so excited i was.

I ended up on 15th out of 20th best invited riders from all over the world and proud to represent Slovenia as a first freeskier on a such event.


Bad gastein i will come back and take it back from you next year as well!

Comin' Out of Nowhere

Like Slovenian film production Outofnowhere, i have the same status in a freeski world...

Let me introduce myself to you... My name is Bine Žalohar, i am standing on skis from 2004/2005 and am growing slovenian freeski scene since... 22 years seems to be long era but in those years i've tasted a life of a football player (didn't like), downhill and a 4x racer till i found skiing to be my real passion among hobbies like bmx dirt jumping, diving, wakeboarding, rollerblading,... I just live my life full and in last 2 years the freeski world have opened its doors for me as never before...

I see myself doing this till i die...it doesn't matter if am not so good ate age 40+, but least i'll have experiences and some background which can not be taken away...

Life on a mountain takes a whole man and if you are not ready to give up some other things in life, you won't survive.

That's my vision... I wish you all have good times reading my blog and discovering world with me...
