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…
Take care of your filmer!
Summer is a time when skiers and snowboarders are mostly chillin’. But it is also a time when everybody needs to gather their footy for the upcoming videos and promos before the next winter.
Seppi Scholler and friends at Love are making their fourth full length video and I have send them Matevž Pristavec’s footy, so expect probably best part ever from MP also in the Loveolution IV! (Online right after Untouched project premieres ;))
What I did not expect was the coolest thankyou package from Seppi. I tought it is going to be some clothing, but it was way better. A Lomokino cam!
I love “toys” like that, instant shooting rules, haha. Me and my friend Luka Šmid filmed on VHS back in the days and I recently discovered my grandfathers 8mm (sadly not working), which hyped me to get my hands on this type of camera ever since… thanks bro, really appreciate it!
Done with winter
No boardshorts yet, I spent some more days in the mountains, this time Kitzsteinhorn with Untouched.
We got some last minute shots, a big lesson on sun radiation and sun burns and shitloads of laughs… more about the trip here and here… but hopefully no more snow shoots for few months, haha!
Dachstein Love clip
Love podcast is up! Check check…
Dachstein Love week
Snow shootings are pretty much over, glacier season is on… it is chill time.
Love organized a team week on Dachstein and unfortunately I had no time to film with them this year, so I was hyped to see my friends after a long time. It was more or less sun bathing, beers and doing laps with homies. I am sort of fed up with parks at the end of every winter, yet I had a blast! Now, I even plan to get back soon as possible, haha.
Thanks Seppi for everything… Love podcast should be online in a week, so stay tuned!
Winter is not over yet
T-shirts and spring sessions are full on, but it is not the time to store your big gun yet!
The Untouched crew is always powder hunting. We made a team trip to Austria with Grilo and Cilka Sadar, chasing after promised 35cm of fresh.
It turned out it was only half of that, but getting pow in middle of April is incredible enough. Judging by the forecast for next week there will still be plenty of opportunities!
Tons of pictures on Untouched blog…
Adventures with Untouched project in Kosovo
Snowboarding has taken me to some amazing places, but I never imagined we would be filming in mountains of Kosovo in such short time after the war!
It all went so quick, I did not even get a chance to rest after the filming missions in Oetz, we were already driving to the South. I was so excited I did not even realize where we are going, until we came back to Slovenia actually!
I feel like home pretty much everywhere in former Yugoslavian countries. I speak just enough of the language and I tend to get in the mix pretty fast. And it is super easy, while all of our former “brothers” are open, warm and pure! I really dig that kind of vibes and they make sure they enhance your experience of the places you visit.
We also had the best crew ever. Maček finally shined at his best and showed that he is hands down most versatile Slovenian rider… probably ever. Pristo was true coach, helping the young guys and still pushing it, although he has a nasty shoulder injury. Domen got shitload of shots in three days, which is big respect, for someone who did not get a chance to ride the whole season, like some of us. Katja and Domen, as the photographers, are like jing and jang and that really flies. We got all the aspects of the trip covered, which is important for our project. Matej Gostinčar was also with us, so my work was made a lot less stressful, because I can really trust him to get the job done properly and focus on other stuff. And last but not least, young guns, Mičo and Žiga, were surely the best pick for this trip. They ride everything, they are hard working and they do not back down until things are finished. What else would you want?!
It was the best trip for Untouched, not that others sucked, but this one wins with the crew, the vibes, the exotica of the place and the bag of footage we are now sitting on… stoked and relieved at the same time, haha!
It is not Sunday everyday
I had a shoot for Qparks in Planneralm today and the best thing was that I was able to take more riders with me than usual. Pristo, Podli and Agi were up for the go and Katja joined to take pictures, so we were packed, hoping for a good park and maybe even some pow. There we should meet with Filip, Tom, Michael and second filmer Killian, so I was looking forward to a serious highlight filming.
It turned out that the forecast with sun in the morning and snowflakes in the afternoon was a bit early. We drove into full on cloudy, snowy and super freezing day. Shit happens sometimes, in a way it is funny, we drove seven hours for a cup of tea, haha.
Doublecorks with Grilo and Untouched
It was a crazy week in Flachauwinkl.
My friend Luka Stanovnik is busy shooting with Burton in Finland, so I stepped in to help filming for the next Grilosode in Flachauwinkl. You get to know every snowboarder sooner or later in such a small scene as in Slovenia, but I have never worked with him before. Filming with him reveals why his is the boss. He is a true professional, works from morning till after the sunset and is still super friendly to anyone around him.
Absolutpark built a massive jump for their team and MG got a private shoot in the morning, with helicam, sleds, supervisors and everything. You could see he was super stoked on the thing, while he was dropping hammers one after another, smiling like a kid. We did another shoot at sunset for the crazy colors shots, which was thrilling just to watch let alone filming.
In my few hour break, MG and Samo went for photos with in massive pipe and I rushed to get some tricks on tape for our Untouched project.
Pristo, Domen and Mičo shaped a big kicker and everything was pretty much set when I arrived. Nejc Slatner from Helivideo.si and Matej Gostinčar, who were also filming with Grilo, joined me and we had shitloads of angles covered. Crew was on their toes untill the first hit, while it looked huge, but it turned out to be perfect. It was on!
All got two tricks in the bag, but MP really raised the bar with his frontside double cork 10! You see that stuff in the movies and you are thinking, “man, John Jackson is something else” but to witness it first hand and knowing you maybe got the ender shot in middle of January, made this day the best one in my season…
