Team Dirtbag over in Finland has been killing it this past month. Here are a few photos from Ilari. Joe Sexton just got back from a month long trip over there where he has been riding with Fredu, Risto Ruokola and friend of StepChild Torsti. In between Joe getting all artsy with his new digital camera and living off junkfood he was able to get some bangers for the movie.














Here's Joe's trip story and then some artsy shots from Joe with dead birds and shi*t.

JOE WROTE...

As soon as I stepped off the plane I was greeted by two of the biggest dirt bags I had ever met, one I had met before and the other I had not. The first was Ilari Suhohen or however you spell it, the Defective filmer and my baby sitter for the trip, the other was named simply "Pops". I think they pronounced it douche bag though. Pops was a digi filmer and was pretty new but did a good job.



Anyways after gathering all my luggage it was off to check out some spots. We hopped in the booze wagon and we were off, I had no idea what to expect before coming to Finland. I thought it was going to be a cool spot for rails, but when I actually got there it exceeded all my expectations. Just minutes from the airport are all the spots I have dreamed of hitting, every rail seemed perfect, I was quickly told these were "played out" and they were right.



After that we met up with the rest of the boyz, Fredu Sirvio, Risto Ruokola, and simply Torsti. I won’t bore you with what hammers went down on the trip and when Risto did a benihana worty pickle revert, or when Fredu busted out the switch barracuda roll and at the last second reverted it to fake-eye. And of course you don't want to hear about Torsti’s Swedish chili rainbow and how he brought it back to reggys, yea you probably don’t want to hear about that.

So instead of explaining everything I just made list with all the highlights and low lights of the trip... enjoy. Thanks to Ilari, for letting me stay with him and putting up with me for a month, and all the bros for fun times shredding.



These were the highlights of my trip highlights of my trip:



- Meeting three amazing snowboarders Fredu, Risto, Torsti, 2 amazing filmers, Ilari, Pops and making 5 good friends.



- Making every spot ride-able, whether it was cutting down a post or bending a rail.



- Using a flamethrower even when we really didn’t need to.



- Eating so much candy and drinking so much pop, I actually built up a tolerance.

- Not knowing what anything says and asking my Finnish brothers for help 24/7.



- End of the trip when everyone got sick except Ilari and me.

- Wearing a long sleeve and no gloves in -30 weather.

- Having Chi Guy come visit us for a week, and really getting to know him. Thanks! 



- Having the most fun on my snowboard. 


- Late night coffees and donuts

- Eating McDonalds and Hesburger

- Being there for a month and getting kicked off of 2 rail’s the whole time.
