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.
