Hola amigos

Finally I did the last shots in the park in mayrhofen.

There were the guys from snowbombing UK - for 1 week – hardcore party

During the day we were filming up in the park and after this we went down, straight to the bar!!!! damn!!

Last week I was in the glacier in Sölden for a freeride ski test, but there was no pow anymore so it was more a party week again. But we found a small spot, for some nice pow turns between the crevasses.

It was really funny, because there were no tourists anymore and in the morning when we went up to the glacier it was every day a crazy race competition with the sponsor cars.

If there will come some snow soon, I will have a shoot for zillertal/tirol publicity, probably with the heli!!! So pray for the last snowfall

But now I will start my Harley Davidson and will go for a ride!! for the chill and grill season

Rock on !!!!

Day 1:

Hey everyone.

I am now in Canada at a secret location trying to get some pow this year with Flo. We didn’t get our bags and the weather-gods hasn’t been too nice to us. It’s been raining and now it’s cold with 7 cm snow on top. Everything looks very good, but the view lies. We are a little frustrated, but we have an amazing crew that knows the mountain, so we will get something done…I hope.

No homobiling

Day 2:

Today has been one of the best days of my life. We went up pretty early and I hiked up to a top when Flo hit a jump he built the day before. He landed some tricks and then I did my line. I fell, but it was a good experience. Then I hit the jump and Flo hiked up to another line. He lost his board (haha) and we both went up and did a line. Then we looked for a location to build a jump. Nothing really perfect, but we did some close up powder turns and got to know the mountain. Now I’m so tired and we are waiting for the dinner to get ready. If every day is like this, the winter only have to be one week to make a video-part.

My dropinn

Day 3:

It's dumping. It's 10.30 and we are going up to see if we can find something in the trees. The light is not good, but we will try.

Back from the hill. It was amazing. I never had pow in Japan, but I guess this was pretty close. It was snowing so hard that the cameras stopped working. I hope they are ok. The rest of the day we were just shredding the forest.

Perfect day.

Still snowing

Day 4:

Today it is raining. We could not go up because of avalanche-danger, so we did some jibs, went skating and watched some surf-movies. I was an ok day and I think we needed a day of. But we are getting shots every day and with only one day with some sun and the snow not cooperating well, we are doing very good. You can not fight nature, so we are crossing our fingers and hoping for better days.

Flo: Air to fake

Day 5:

The skate-session was sick. Today we had wet sticky snow, some showers and a little bit of sun. It was almost impossible to ride the “fresh” snow and so slow, but we manage to build a corner-jump and landed some tricks. The only reason it worked was because the landing was higher than the takeoff and we didn’t have any speed when we landed. Our bags are still not here and now British-Airways don’t even know where they are. Sh** happens, but it’s the 5th time this year. We just have to hope for sun and that it’s still pow in the high alpine.

Filmers (Boris and Juel) and ACG's Flo

We got a little bit of riding before we left for comp in Austria where I got injured. S*** happens. I'll be back in a week or so.

I need a shower!

winter is back

Hi guys!!

Last days were some of the best this winter.

I did some shots with Klaus Polzer from Skiing (the next Level) mag.

And some pics with Marco Toniolo.

After this I went to Flaine for the Nissan Freeride Quest, which is the last qualifier for Verbier. I did a really nice line, but I crashed at the last cliff. Damn!

The same happened to Flo Köfer.

So Sverre took one of the last Tickets to Verbier, so hopefully he will kick their asses.

Good luck, Buddy!!!!

Back in Austria Flo and I did the BM final in Fieberbrunn, I took the 5^th place, Flo took the 1^st place in the category: craziest highest cliff drop!!!! Dude ?!?!

It was an cool event, sponsored by ACG.

Big THX to Andi Reutner (ACG Aut) for the VIP card´s for the after contest party!!!!

And don´t look to much at the young girls :) ok sorry that was me!!! But I´m young too

Yeah, but anyway - Andi you rock!!!!!

(I don´t know if Flo is still there at the disco to dance with his Prowhores :) :)

Today I was up on the mountain to check out how much snow we got. And we got about 100cm and more, but the problem is, there is no fucking base, so hopefully our plan to make a sweet spot next week will work!!!!!!

Ok, guys nice powder days and go safe! Rock on,

Cheers roman
