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!...

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...
