It is all over… NOT!

Untouched in MB
 
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!

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!

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!

Loveolution 4 is on its way!

Love is droppin’ their fourth video and here is a short teas of what to expect… from sketchy streets to backcountry double corks, spiced with some other extreme stuff from the Love family, it is for sure something to look forward!

Sadly I have not got the time to film with them as much as I would like for this one, but I sent them footy from Untouched‘s finest, Matevž Pristavec, so click for a little sneak peak…

Chile experience with Untouched project

This year I have been traveling a lot, mostly thanks to snowboard/ski related matters. We have been doomed in the past two winters and had to chase snow like we usually chase waves here on the “inland”. Search is always on, hehe.

Untouched project‘s main skier, Bine Žalohar, had a misfortunate injury in the start of our second filming season, so we were at a crossroad… should we make a snowboarding only video or push over our budget, put in some own and get stuff done in summer. Four heads looked at each other and smiled… it was on, we are going to Chile!

I always had a great wish to go to South America, but it is funny to drop there in summer and basically hit the middle of winter… Sanka moment on the airport, haha.

Discovering a big and totally new country, trying to get good powder shots and gain some travel experience was super stressful and amazing at the same time. We visited three ski regions, surfed, partied, hottubed, BBQed with locals… and drove and hiked more than ever in my life. Yet, we can say with out a doubt that we got lots of what we wanted and more… Chile is a nice place to be.


Thanks to the rest of the crew for putting such an effort in… Bine was sick pretty much the whole trip, but really came through with the sheer determination to get his share in the video (also cooked and drove most of the time), Maček was the proper balkan PR/manager like always and became some sort of an director/screenwriter in the mix of things and Katja got everything documented for the project (and resort tickets, hehe).

We posted regular updates on the Untouched blog, so check there for more pics and story… teasers will be dropping in November and the video premieres around Christmas, so check back…
