Toyota one hit wonder Day 5

And we came to and end of this ridiculously sick event. Was the best 5 days of this summer/winter. Skiers basically killed it this year. Everyone did sick tricks, doubles, grabs...and every trick this year was bigger than 1080. Jump was amazing even tho it was kind of scary sometimes. Organizer Tim Myers with his crew definitely deserves big ups for putting all together and makes it really cool, safe for us riders and entertaining for all of you back home. The vids are going to be sick and i hope you will appreciate it. I'm coming back next year, that's for sure. Thanks every rider for hanging out and inspire my skiing and Tim to host me as a king. Pce
stoked on a way up
Friday flat on saturday

Toyota one hit wonder Day 4

Today, well today was on. They added a bit more pop to the jump so it was sick cause you actually stalled up in the air. Was still windy a bit from the side and was quite a big deal...So after couple of hits almost everyone decided not to hit it and it was only me and McRae who insisted. When i did a straight air wind pushed me into 180 which was...well not really comfortable. Next try i waxed my skis went 5 meter higher on the inrun and went for mellow cork 5...As soon as i came around wind just pushed my legs on the side and i managed to kinda safe myself by falling straight on my hip. It wasn't really a safe after traveling 3/4 over the knuckle and hitting straight on a hip made me stay on the ground for couple of minutes not moving. Everyone helped me asap but my day was over in that second. Went to the doctor who said injury will get me rested for 3-8 weeks depending on the healing. So unfortunately it was the end of Toyota one hit wonder event for me. I am so stoked for McRae who jumped alone and landed sick tricks...i guess i am gonna chill out for 2 days and than i fly off to Bali where i'll try to rehab myself and maybe surf as soon as i'll be ready. I am so happy to be part of this event and jumping on that jump was really close to flying and it gets me even more stoked. Stay tuned for our entries...i can just say that all the tricks are better than last year's best trick and that all the tricks are pretty damn smooth.

Toyota one hit wonder Day 3



Today we woke up after a bit rough night and the wind took away one more day of jumping. Went for a couple of laps in the small park but was so icy that we bail after hour and a half. But the day usually brings something good so we decided to go to the pool with the slide and a "mission inflated"... i think that was the best decision to keep ourselves occupied and at least having a bit of a fun...Bobby Brown left for US and A already in the morning and Robby Walker joined us to keep snowboarding alive after all the snowboarders bailed already due to injuries or personal reasons. The forecast for tomorrow is looking good so we're pretty stoked to finally get some jumping in. Russ and Charles made some changes on a take off so we could fly even higher.(check the video)

Toyota one hit wonder Day 2

We were pretty stoked to hit the jump this morning even tho everyone was sore as from yesterday's session. , but wind was just to strong. It would be just too dangerous to jump in those conditions so we called it and do the media stuff instead.
