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.

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…

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!
