My christmas

I don't celebrate christmas. It's cause of my family...u don't need to know! But the christmas spirit lives around so i was wondering what are my wishes. I definetly got an answer. I need a freedom, being able to do what i'm doing till the rest of my life and being able to love my friends as they love me.

Yesterday, 23rd December, i spent the day with friends on the coast surfing in a cold water. No matter how does this sound, it was the warmest surf since i got home. Best vibe, sunshine, glassy waves, smile all over our faces. Imagine me prepairing christmas tree, or going shopping, or cooking the dinner!!! Hells no! I am doing what i love, not for the money. Trust me, we aint got much at all! But for the love and passion. That might sound sentimental again, but you know what. Fuck all your jobs in this world and fuck all your christmas trees and spirit that come only once a year. To celebrate life everyday is something a lot of people at work don't get. Doing something that you don't love just for the money that cause problems??? Not me!
Check out these shots and you'll see what i'm talking about.

Special relationship with rails


photo: Peter Fetih
I have to admit that i am not really into rails when it comes to skiing. I rather save myself for them after a great day in pow or park. It's not really cool to crash on a rail just before the season even starts and break some bones, twist wrists or ankles or just fall onto steps on your back.

On the other hand you can have so much fun with your friends scouting the town for spots with rails, wallrides, jibs,...Sometimes it makes me laugh when watching buddies coming from all over Slovenia on a spot at 7 o'clock and knowing that we won't be hitting this spot for at least next 3 hours. Whole preparation takes so much time and often even if the setup is done and prepared, we have to wait for filmers and photgraphers to make their, thousands and thousands euro worth gear,work. The second thing is often a speed problem which can be solved with drop in ramp, winch or sometimes even friend's pull.
So yesterday i decided to hit a sweet, pretty easy, pre-season down rail with my snowboard friends. We had pretty awesome session for about 2 hours and after putting 5 hours of work into preparation and filming of it, cops rolled in and forced us to clean everything in 10 minutes. I hate this feeling, when you know you can put down at least 2 or 3 more tricks and someone forces you to quit!!!

But there are plenty more rails and plenty more action to come in this winter and i am looking forward to stomp some tricks!

1 run on Krvavec with Bine Zalohar and Go Pro HD

Before hitting it to France with MountVacation.com i am obliged to stay at home and shred nothing but resort near my place. It doesn't offer any rails, parks, backcountry but at least it's a skiing...better than nothin right?
Check out little edit from myself.
Meanwhile you are watching this clip i am out on the field doing some street rails filming.
