Introducing: Hungarian snowboard video, Hét Év Hidegben

My friend and coworker at Qparks, Hambalkó Bálint is the Hungarian video wizard. He really puts in the extra mile to get cool shots, story or whatever the plan is.

This year he released first proper Hungarian snowboard video, called Hét Év Hidegben, which means “Seven years in cold weather” (accourding to Google’s translation). It is a journey from the beginnings of Hungarian snowboard scene to present times and you can see the guys are evoliving in matters of tricks, style, filming, everything!

Jibrothers in Planica

Today we got a little crew together and went for the first winter shots for the Jibrothers.

Andraž Šparovec, Agron Imeri and Uroš Podbevšek were eager to hit one of the most known rails in Planica, the home of the famous skiflying construction. The jumping hill is not the biggest anymore, but you can not erase the historical events that happened on this thing.

Anyway, we were more interested in rails around and it was a good decision, while it was the only place with enough snow in the streets in westerly part of Slovenia. There are three rails and everybody usually rides the shortest one, yet the Jibrothers pushed it up a notch and picked the middle one. I tested the new tripod (it is banging) and we got two shots and few pictures, which is a good start for the upcoming season.

Introducing: Nejc Ferjan in Snow Cones & Cotton Candy

Nejc is a slovenian rising star. He is solely into rails, jibs and stuff like that, and I mean real street shit, not just your random park stuff! It is always good to go filming with him, while you can expect some crazy tricks going down!

Few days ago True Color Films introduced their third video part from a video called Snow Cones & Cotton Candy, in which Nejc has a short, yet proper insert. Click below and enjoy Nejc’s shredding from 4:00 on…

Introducing: Rudi Janda in Good Times Rollin’

Rudi was the second guy I met filming in Helsinki, Finland. He is a funny guy that never gives up and I had a lot of fun just hanging around with him, let alone filming.

Few days ago Bamboo Motion Pictures introduced their full video, called Good Times Rollin’, which is defenetly worth checking out. Click below and enjoy Rudi’s part… if you want to see the whole video, follow this link

Untouched project’s new webpage released today!

The new official page of the Untouched project is finally polished and ready!

I have been pretty picky about the design, but in the end, I think we managed to get a really clean look with a nature feel and fine presentation. Guys at Lono did a superb job and I would like to thank them for all the hours, energy and nerves spent on the design and programing.

Check the page at www.untouchedproject.com

Finally some snowcapped mountains

I have been waiting so long for this view to come back…

After months of dry weather and three weeks of more or less fog, the passing fronts dropped some fresh and the skies finally cleared. It is not much, but it is a start into a heavily anticipated winter, with my biggest project so far to realize, the Untouched project.

Today we are presenting our teaser at the Slovenian RedBull Art of Flight premiere and after that we are releasing the new official page, so stay tuned…

Extreme sports equals hospital visits

My friend and Untouched crew member, Bine Žalohar, has finished his season before it started. He tore his ACL and will miss a large part of winter, yet he is in good spirits and already planning filming trips for the summer.

I went with him to the hospital yesterday, in order to get some shots of the doctor and cliche stuff like that, but hospital workers are not really fond on filmers. In times like that, you have to be pretty resourceful. A little talking, a little begging and even a little help from Bine’s mom gets you places, places like MRI room, haha.

I wish Bine a light speed recovery and hope we will film on snow next time!

Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam 2011

Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam is the first big event of the season and it is organized in Superpark Dachstein, which is build and maintained by Qparks.

This year the level was just off the hook, riders stomping doublecorks and 10s already in qualification, but everybody pushed it even more in the finals. The winners where Seppe Smiths from Belgium and Amy Fueller from England and Slovenia also had its representatives, with Cilka Sadar coming in second in girl division. Congrats!

I was picked to be a part of the video team again and this year everything considering my work was really well thought and set. The hungarian video wizard, Hambalko Balint, and I were the filmers for the daytime, while the head of filmers at Qparks, Basti Funk, was the editor at night. It was really great to work with them and I think we made a great job.

You can check what went down for three days in the video below…
