From 6^th to 13^th of April 2008 Kühtai hosted the BAGJUMP SpringBreak08 Snowboard&Freeski Camp. The Film&Foto Award presented by TVB-Kühtai was an additional feature to the Camp where filmer and photographers had the chance to get the best shots from the whole resort and be rewarded with 2000Euro prize-money. Good riders had the chance to get some international coverage and present their skills. This event was a unique experience for snowboarder, freeskier, filmer- and photographer!

A perfect shaped park, the BAGJUMP MegaBag for training and 4 IOU-Special obstacles prepared for shootings throughout the backcountry. The Völkl Pro Team was here to coach and film for the Völkl-Movie the whole week and many other international Pros to get some last shots from the 2007/08 Season with over 40 international photographers and filmers around. Some lucky campers got a Völkl Sponsorship because of their amazing riding skills. The weather was like it is in April: unpredictable! As we had Snowstorms and waist deep powder for the first 3 days and fine spring slush with mostly blue sky for the rest of the SpringBreak08. Camp-Hotel Marlstein was located close by and the food was excellent with breakfast buffets in the morning and 4 course dinners in the evenings.

Campers and daily visitors had the chance to win Zimtstern, Völkl, Gravis and X-Double prizes in the everyday mini-competitions like Poker-Tournaments, Best Trick-MegaBag, Night-Sessions on the special spots and the XBOX360 Guitar Hero Madness. Due to the bad weather Saturdays SpringOFF Slopestyle Contest took place on the rails whit over 60 motivated riders giving their best to win money and prizes.

Everyone could get 2009 Boards and Skis at the Völkl Test in the chill area and test their new Board or Ski of Choice. Listening to fine tunes coming from the RedBull Event Car mixed by Dj Seren and eating at the BAGJUMP BBQ/Grill was a good chance to regain energy for riding. While watching international Pros practicing contest winning tricks into the MegaBag not only media but also the crowd and people passing by took out the camera to capture the action.

I LOVE Japan!! Stoked to be there again for the Burton store Opening in Osaka!!

Japanese Madness. My ears and my eyes are overwhelmed lights, sounds and people everywhere.. polite, polite, maybe impossible, karaoke my favorite, sushi, crazy fashion, mini crewsers, best spray toilets ever, sake, photo, photo..

The cool thing on that trip was that we weren’t stock just between snowboarders.. Sweet to have Nicolas Muller in the crew as always but also gravis surfer Kassia Meador and Analog’s  Arto Saari!!
To honour japanese traditions we serve sake to all people coming to the event.. obviously we cheared with them, each of them and had a sip! But that was alright since there was only about 700 people.. Arto (wearing an dupa stylish 80’s wig) takes the mike and welcomes the crowed to the store opening with the gayest Carl Lagerfeld’s attitude ever!! Very fashionable..
The sake session is followed by a 3 hours signing session.. I find it hard to find 700 different very special dedicated comments to give to each of them.. so I just got artistic.. I drew moustaches, pretty flowers and about 650 I LOVE Nipon.. it s like writing fitness!!

Japanese people like to fire us with their digi cam.. so I just fire back with my plastic one way use camera!!

That super people shower luckily came to an end and the whole burton extended crew went for dinner.. I sit next to Moblow and his wig, he tells that girl who was wearing a moustache something like she was nice and doll, or something like that.. she didn’t like it and answered that she could beat him up.. I said he would love it!! So she punshed him in the eye and left him with nothing else then a black eye.. you shouldn’t mess around with those girls who wear the moustache!! The night goes on to a karaoke bar.. my all time favorite!!
Marc and I end up walking with no where to go in town.. a guy is pying in the street, I run and catch the perfect moment and angle.. all his friends laugh, so do i.. I really wish I hadn’t forgotten the cap on my almost digi and actually got the shot!!

The next day, the snowboarders crew travels to a dome.. tons of people come to watch.. they are like an orchestra.. I make them do the HOLA.. I take some family portraits etc.. everyone is so happy and friendly here!! Trevor sings, we sign tons of things.. everyone politely waits in line for hours.. that is what impresses me most from Japanese.. they are soo patient and respectfull!

The next day we are all in Tokyo for he first birthday of the burton store.. everyone sits down like kids in school..cute!! they watch the movie.. we get a huge cake in snowboard shape with bindings.. Jeremy Jones claims he is gay, some more pictures, signing and graffity later I drag Arto, his sushi and Moblow to a gay bar on a Monday night.. everything you need to become intimate with the bar tenders!! Some more karaoke and this trip made it to my top 3 favorite trips ever!! 1000 Thanks to my friend Kosuke who makes each of my Japanese experiences magic!!

Nombre : Felipe Parker

Edad: 25

Ocupación: snowboarder

Spot favorito: el que tenga más nieve y menos gente

Stance: 24, -6 con 53cm de ancho

Tabla: fish56, t6 56, uninc56, custom 58

Sponsors: LAN, Burton , Oakley, Gravis, WE, R.E.D.

 

 

1. Pepo Parker…rider chileno de larga trayectoria, cuéntanos en qué año comenzaste y cómo?

Cuando tenía 9 mi hermano se compro una tabla. Yo lo quería copiar como buen pendex que era y me aplique la mía. De ahí deje los esquíes con los palillos y nunca más me bajé de la tabla. Hice mi vida en torno a este deporte.

 

2. Cómo es el Pepo en la vida cotidiana, desde que te levantas hasta que te acuestas.

La rutina me asusta así que cada día, es distinto. Los lunes son los días en que se debe informar todo a Burton. Se trabaja con la mayor eficiencia posible  para que el resto de la semana se pueda hacer deporte con los amigos y pasarlo bien. Mantener el contacto con los auspiciadores para que sepan lo que uno esta haciendo. El viajar, forma gran parte de mi vida, haciendo lo que me gusta y conociendo lugares, culturas, y amigos.

 

 

3. Cómo haces el snowboard parte de tu vida, ya es un estilo de vida o no?

Toda mi vida esta envuelta en el ámbito del snowboard, estoy la mayor parte del año en invierno. Me gusta, se conocen lugares en los cuales nunca habrías estado sino fuera por el snowboard.

 

4. La peor pesadilla con tu tabla y la montaña.

Ojalá hubiera sido una pesadilla lo de mi amigo Atilio Cremashi, pero lamentablemente pasó lo que pasó. No busco el porqué o cómo. Pasó lo que pasó y no hay nada que hacer al respecto, sólo que nos sirva de lección a todos quienes lo conocieron. Si van fuera de pista vean que onda con las avalanchas, nunca anden solos y tengan sus transmisores prendidos y demas cosas por si algo ocurriera. Si al final vas a ser tú quien salve a tu amigo o viceversa. “In Memory Atilio”.

 

5. En todos tus años de experiencia, qué momentos te han frustrado y qué otros te motivan a seguir adelante?

Sin duda que cuando uno se lesiona, tiene tiempo para pensar en lo que hace. Pero al fin y al cabo dan mas ganas de estar bien nuevamente para poder hacer lo que te gusta.

 

6. Cómo es eso de tester de Burton, cómo comenzó y cuáles han sido los productos más bacanes que has probado?

Burton es una empresa que invierte mucho en el R&D (research and development) de sus productos, para que cuando les lleguen al consumidor sea el mejor producto del mercado.

Empezó el 2000 cuando volviendo de Austria pase a Burlington, VT (usa) y conocí a la gente de hardgoods (tablas, botas, fijaciones). Ellos me pasaron productos les gusto el feedback y así fue. Testers hay hartos en el mundo, centros de testing hay tres: Mt Hood, Nueva Zelandia y Chile. Yo estoy a cargo de coordinar el testing en Chile, que es donde se prueban los prototipos más ocultos por decirlo así.

 

7. Cuéntanos de en Trance, ya se viene el lanzamiento?

Somos 6 protagonistas (Camus, Manuel, Nico H, Guru, Poroto y Yo) más nuestros amigos. Muestra los 12 meses que perseguimos la nieve en  Chile, Argentina, Suiza y USA. Tienen que verlo esta increíble el nivel de los riders chilenos y de las filmaciones. La edición también le da su toque al video. No es un video de solo powder, sino que muestra harto freestyle en el backcountry, sesiones urbanas, park, etc. No les cuento mas, véanlo.

 

8. Háblanos un poco sobre tu trabajo y viajes en USA

Esta fue mi tercera temporada yéndome a colorado, me toco increíble de nieve, así que al estar de entrenador allá, se hacia muy agradable ir andar pow o park con cabros que la destrozan y que además te paguen por eso. Se viaja mucho a competencias con la gente del club así que la temporada se recorre mucho del país de este a oeste. Además de ser coach hago lo de burton, lo cual me mantiene andando puros filetes siempre.

 

 

9. Como coach del Club de Vail en USA, cómo ves el nivel chileno con respecto al Freestyle de los gringos?

Sin duda que en Chile hay nivel, RedBull dio el apoyo para que Manuel Díaz entrenara conmigo en vail y dejo a los gringos impresionados. Yo creo que la brecha se acorta cada vez más. Pero para llegar a nivel de Shaun White o un Travis Rice hay que se maquina. El nivel de la infraestructura de parks y halfpipe ayuda mucho. La cual acá falta mucho por aprender en cuanto a eso.

 

Preguntas flash

 

1. Canción: mi ipod
2. Mujer: lisa
3. Nieve: powpow
4. Marca: burton
5. Sexo:   mejor que todo
6. Política: que hagan lo que prometen y roben menos.
7. Color: verde

So I lost an LG flip cellphone that has a burton and gravis sticker on it. It's dead, unhooked up (ie. useless to you) and has really important numbers to me in it (ie. useful to me only). On a similar topic, I lost everybody's numbers so leave me a message so I can get them again.
