Untouched project teaser and webpage coming!

Posted on by

Winter is not far away and the Untouched Project has already started the new season!

I have been editing night and day for the past week on the road. Tent, car, parking lots, “borrowed” electricity from a local bar, diet of coffee and energy drinks… everything for a good cause, hehe.

The new Untouched teaser will be aired today at the slovenian Rip Curl GUM premiere and in few days we are also launching a new webpage for the project where you will be able to see the teaser online, so stay in touch!

Euphoria by Argon Films

Posted on by

Argon Films is presenting the teaser to their new project Euphoria!

Euphoria is a project from my friend Michael Putz and some other guys. They say they are “a bunch of professional multi media heads with a deep connection to snowboarding” and they really go full on pro, as I witnessed in Val Senales, Italy.

The teaser is simply a bomb and well worth checking, so click play below!

Loveolution III droppin’ soon!

Posted on by

I met Seppi Scholler a.k.a. Dr. Love two years ago in Laax and we just clicked instantly.

He is one hella motivated guy, always down for anything and 24/7 one man show. We had two filming missions this year, one really successful and one crazy scouting for the last patches of snow, haha.

He and the rest of the guys at Love Distribution are dropping a new video soon, it is the third in the row of Loveolution series. With names like Seppi, Marc Swoboda, Dominik Wagner, Matevž Pristavec and more, it is looking to be crazy! Check the trailer below…

Bamboo presents Good Times Rollin’!

Posted on by

“Good times rollin’” is the upcoming snowboard film by Bamboo Motion Pictures.

I had the pleasure of filming with two of the guys riding for them, Rudi Janda and Gerald Fuchs, when we were on a mission in Helsinki. They are super cool guys and the rest of the crew ripps as well, so its going to be on hell of a video.

Check the trailer below, full movie drops in Fall 2011!

Short film “Surfing Basque Country”

Posted on by

This is my first sort of scripted short film that I filmed past summer in Spain, where I work for Ujusansa surf camp.

“Surfing Basque Country” is a three month filming project and I mainly tried to show you the vibes of Basque Country and the way we spent our summer. At first I wanted to do a documentary type of thing, with the voiceover and all, but when I looked at the bigger picture, it would be way over the top. I think its a fun little video that says it all and should be taken with ease, just like in true Basque spirit, haha.

Hope you like it!

Some photos from Kanin

Posted on by

It was last day on last opened resort in Slovenia, Kanin Mt., so winter is officially over (if someone did not notice a month ago haha).







However it is always nice to spend some quality time in the mountains! Uroš and Agi went for the big kicker while Andraž, George and me had some fun on small corner jib… It is supposedly skate & surf season from now on, but you never know…

Last winter shooting

Posted on by

I came back from my last Qparks shooting in Kaprun. I was on Kitzsteinhorn for the last stop of Qparks Tour and Matevž Maček from Untouched and Andraž Šparovec from Jibrothers were nice enough to join me. It was actually a good decision to go, while Kitzsteinhorn got 40cm of new snow a week ago and it stayed fresh in the shadows. Guys did some hiking and we managed to shoot some banger lines right after the contest. I think the picture tells it all!

After we got to see Colby West on mega kicker (local parkdesigner Stefan Plattner stepped in for the snowboarders and he was all balls too) with more than a kilometer inrun. You do not get to see double corks on a special obstacles live everyday, haha.

The Simon Chamberlain rail and camera malfunction

Posted on by

The forecast was unfortunatelly correct. In the morning it was still dry so we went to this pretty big gap to rail that Simon Chamberlain frontside boardslides in Cheers video. Because we already prepared the kicker yesterday, it was not that much work (for a change haha). As soon as I got my camera out it started to drizzle and then it went from bad to worse in matter of minutes. We filmed anyway but them my XH-A1s got a wierd malfunction. I guess the moisture in the air was really high, because I had raincover on it and it still got wet somehow. Fuchsi lend me his 7D with the fisheye so everything was back on track and we got some shots at least. The plan was to hit the triple kink, but after we were soaked to our bones so we wrapped things up for the day.

Tommorow I am leaving Finland which is too bad while it should be sunny for days from now on and its even snowing at the moment. However it was one hell of a trip. Got to film with the best crew, met some new people and heard saddest lifestory of some old finnish ski jumper. Life is funny, strange and fucked up at the same time I guess, but he had a lot of knowledge to share. The only thing I will not be missing is the horrible snoring from an Indian guy and crazy flashy gizmos from Japanese couple, haha.

Rainy day and some spot fixing

Posted on by

We were totally burned out after yesterdays midnight shovelling, yet we still got ourselves together and went for the Helgasons rail in the morning. It was a cloudy day with some sprinkling rain and the mood was not the best at first, but after some hammers went down we all started to feel a lot better.

Rudi also wanted to do the elbow rail which turned into a fun session that felt really relaxing after 6 hours of fisheye shooting. Afterwards we went to check some spots for tommorow and fixed a broken triple kink. Allthough the weather forecast is not good, we are still hoping it will hold for our last day in Finland…

The day of the Shovel and the Helgasons rail

Posted on by

Day two in Helsinki was super exhausting. First thing we wanted to do was a eurogap to rail, shovelling for two hours and unfortunatelly it did not work out with speed so we moved all the snow to hit it downwards. Fuchsi came out with a nice 50-50 360 out on the kinked rail with the donkey dick and slammed pretty hard few times while trying to fs boardslide it.

We moved to the second rail of the day with a pretty big drop on the other side but the guys really went for it. Pretty much everyone killed it, especially Denis from Russia who is a one hella rail slayer. The day ended with super colourful sunset which was nice after a hard day of work.

When we got a little energy back we were planning to do some spot checking but we already found this pefect kinked rail just few minutes from our hostel. Rumour has it that Hellgason brothers wanted to ride it and were diggin it for two days and then had to leave without hitting it and there really was a wall of ice on the last part of the rail. After three hours of midnight ice and back breaking action we got it cleared and we gonna do it first thing tommorow! Thanks to German hitchhiker Stefan for much needed help and Jagermaister!
