It is all over… NOT!

Filmers holidays kind of suck, hehe.

After three weeks of not seeing the light of day and missing out on all the fun shred days before the premiere, it is finally all over… for most of the people involved. For me it is time when mails start dropping in.
“Hey, could you send me my shots till tomorrow… and by the way Happy Holidays!”… Gee, thanks, I get right on it, haha!

Yet, there is fun stuff too. Untouched project is screening in Maribor on 28th, BOFF on 30th and ŠportTV also on 30th, so we have some parties scheduled! The tickets are still possible to obtain here, drop by, lets finally have a beer together!

The Final Day

Screen shot
 
All work and no play makes anyone a dull boy…
Yet, I have been nothing but stoked and super relaxed throughout it all. Which is strange, I tend to stress and get bummed out too much usually. Still have to make some final touches thou, so going nuts remains an option, haha.

D-Day is tomorrow and it was a hell of a ride… not only traveling and filming, but the ending process has been a trip on its own as well.
Riders and filmers came to check the film out and give me feedback, my friend Gillesku worked on sound (which was kinda new for me) and it was all a good learning experience, how to properly polish a big project, instead of just doing it “my way or the highway” style.

The interest in the premiere is way bigger than anyone of us expected, which is the best reward by itself!

Thanks to all for showing support and see ya tomorrow!

Best getaway ever

I was getting really feed up with editing for the past month and it is clearly not a good time for this… but south winds and Adriatic sea really came my way!

We still had some heats to run for JugoMajstr, so the comp was set for Thursday. But it looked kind of doable also a day before, so we went for a little “mind off, wax on” getaway.

First day we got pretty big, mushy waves and it was all about power and speed… a little sketchy at times, but after a week of webcast from 5-8ft at Sunset, Hawaii, it felt so good to get some heavy rides (and wipeouts of course, hehe).

Second day we ran the contest in the morning and got a super fun glassy session after… I managed to check second option for the POV shots from water (first time I got a bit unlucky, remember) and got the best wave count in a single session ever, no joke! Click for more pics…

So tired, yet so pumped to get back on the Untouched project… stay tuned!

All about Untouched

My biggest project so far, the Untouched project, is only a month away from seeing the light of day!

The daily routine is totally vampire now, but the cool thing is I get to see the sunrise and the sunset every day… just the other way around, hehe.

Here is everything you need to check, if you are interested in the video: FB event, ticket purchase and website for more info…

The skiers teaser is also out, so check who’s in and get ready for the 20th December premiere in Kino Šiška!

Medo semis

Pleasure Jam is always exhausting and I planned to get some quality rest… until I realized I am competing in JugoMajstr semifinals today!

It was not the best conditions, I guess we all thought it is going to be a lot bigger, but whatever, you don’t get to surf in Adriatic that often. I decided to get some water footy while in contest, just to combine work and fun… never hurts to stock some Medulin footy, hehe.

It was a Pleasure!

It was the 10th anniversary of the Pleasure Jam on Dachstein and this is also the start of the filming season at Qparks. It was my third year there and it was probably the most fun so far.

Basti always prepares an interesting concept for the main clip, this time it will be all macro stuff. It was super cool to get a totally different perspective on things… can’t wait!

 

Second thing was that pretty much everyone from our (expanded) snowboard scene were there. It was nice to see everybody on the spot. Urška even took the 3rd place at the event to keep the vibes up on the windiest day on the mountain ever… Congrats!

From salty drops to icy flakes

Winter pattern of “surfing one day, riding pow the next” is what you are dreaming of from December on, but this time it started early!

A sizeable amount of snow pilled in the mountains already and of course you can not count on building big powder kickers anytime soon, but everybody is getting into winter vibes with riding pipes and random jibs.

 

This cool tree jib was so much fun. I love progressive tricks brought into natural environment, it just shows true skills. And some green moss on the side of the trees really makes the icing on the shots for me, hehe.

Everybody was really motivated although it rained pretty bad. I can not wait for the real winter!
