My Journal: hahahahaha
By: ScrapPaper


ok so it's not really THAT funny as it is the end of my season :( but watcha gonna do when you're a uni student with zero dollars and no snow in the hometown..?

reminisce...!

last day of riding, '07:
it was an absolutely BEE-YOU-TEE-FULL day...definitely t-shirt weather...and i? sick as a sick person (no...not as a dog...because i don't know about most dogs but i'm pretty sure that USUALLY they are healthy...at least mine is...and smelly...and i'm not smelly so therefore not sick as a dog...anyway i digress...)
friday i got super sick...hot outside, freezing inside, h-core shakes...didn't even get through our second viewing of 300 :( (going again next weekend probably haha) but the fever broke friday night thank god.
spent saturday recouping...and then did the insanely stupid thing of shredding sunday ALL DAY anyway...

at the hill from 8:30 to 6:00...on the hill for probably 80% of that...and you know what? it was just a stupendous day.
the slushy snow is perfect to learn new stuff on...and my bravery increased five-fold...i was actually popping off jumps instead of just riding...i attempted some boardslidess (ya...these still need work...haha) and practicing my ones.
finally decided to get my first attempt (ever) of a 360 on tape...so i bee-lined it to the jump, started to counter-rotate and realized i didn't have quite enough speed... freakin' best 180 EVER hahaha...
so then i wanted to get at least ONE good nosepress on the flat box on tape...so i hiked that mother for a good hour or so trying...some hooligans in the park effed up the run-in so it was a pretty good ollie to nospress when i finally did it...actually, sorry, ollie to nosepress, tail tap out...hahaha tail tap totally flukey but apparently it had some steeze factor :)

and ya idunno...the sun was shining and we just chilled all day in the park...it was super awsome fantasticness! =D

HOT ZONE HINTERTUX PARK OPENING 2007










Steve Gruber won the Ästhetiker Wängl Tängl 2towsend7


After bad weather threatened to postpone the Aesthetiker Jam Waengl Taengl schedule, Sunday’s reserve day delivered broken sunny skies and a chance to run the 30-rider Finals. In a best 2-out-of-3 run format the creative slopestyle course, built by the infamous Aesthetiker crew in Zillertal, gave birth to progressive snowboard action through a two line course: the first consisted of three kickers in a row and a huge Taco at the end; the second, a down-box to a high-turn to a flat-down Suzuki box, followed by a cradle, a corner & three rails.

 

A high level of international and riding talent, including TTR World Nr 9 Henning Marthinsen (NOR) and World Nr 12, Arthur Longo (FRA), challenged the judges. But it was local maverick Steve Gruber (AUT) who stole the show, winning with a Cab 720, switch backside 540 & backside 720 to win himself 850 TTR Ranking Points, 5,000USD cash prize and a Suzuki Quad bike. Close behind, and earning the 2nd place result, Jaakko Ruha (FIN) impressed the crowds with a Cab 900, backside 1080, and frontside 900. Scandinavia took another podium spot with Kalle Ohlsson (SWE) scoring a 3rd place finish through a clean Cab 900, frontside 720 & backside 720.

 

stated an overwhelmed Gruber (AUT).

 

Post-crowning the TTR Tour Champions, the calendar continues through to the end of April 2007. All TTR contests attended until then will provide riders with TTR Ranking Points for the 06/07 TTR Ranking List presented by Swatch to add to their overall ranking score until May 01st, 2007.

Top Results for the Hot Zone Team Rider @ Ästhetiker Shred Down

3 Hot-Zone Riders in top 6 at the Ästhetiker Shred Down in Westendorf

Ästhetiker Shred Down
Westendorf 2nd to 3rd march 2007

(Westendorf/AUT ─ 3.3.2007) ─ Not that it is something new but snowboarding is still depending on snow. This winter season is not easy in Europe. The lack of snow before a contest means a lot of work for shapers to be able to have a good park setup. Therefore great respect to the well shaped rail line. The open training session on Friday brought a few surprises to shapers and riders. The riders had a fantastic powder session in the woods just above the park whereas the shapers had to completely reshape the park line. The opinion of the park team about the 40 cm fresh snow was consequently very different to the one of the riders. Around midday the untracked runs became less and the park was ready again.

The first riders of Friday used the obstacles to get warmed up. A small quarterpipe, a wallride, a straight box, a long downrail and a fat kinked box offered more than enough possibilities for the riders to get ready for the contest day. Impressing was the riding of Michael Stanschitz, Herby Thaler and Wolle Beer with 270 variations showing their motivation for the contest on Saturday.

After the successful warm up party on Friday night in the ‘Kegelbahn’ the contest continued on Saturday with the qualification and the finals. The weather comparing to Friday was everything else than predictable. Riders and organisation were confronted with very changeable conditions. Rain during the training, strong snowfall during the first qualification heat, light snowfall during the second qualification heat, sunshine at the beginning of the finals, fog in the middle of the finals and bluebird at the end of the finals. On top of it wind that was dismantling tents and banners. But none the less the contest with a high level of technical riding could successfully be implemented. During the qualification it was a tough job for rookies and not directly qualified riders to show their abilities over the straight box, down rail and Suzuki kinked box. The best seven riders of every heat qualified for the finals that was carried out in a jam session format. During the qualification the rookie Simon Pircher convinced everyone with his stylish and technical runs that he was ready for the finals.

His solid performance during the finals and especially thanks to his fantastic result in qualification made him the deserved winner of the Shred Down 07 rookie award. As for Simon Pircher the Friday training was a great warm up for Michael Stanschitz. In his second run in the finals he showed an alley oop rock’n roll on the wallride, nosepress bs 180 on the straight box, tailslide 270 out and gap 270 on the kinked box. On top of it Mone Monsberger and Reini Rieser made everything very exciting. Reini Rieser showed a huge frontside air on the quarterpipe, nosepress bs 180 out, bs 50/50 180 out and gap 270 on the kinked box which put him on the second place. The Ästhetiker Mone Monsberger with a huge fs 3 mute on the quarter, cab 270, switch fs boardslide and gap 270 became second. At the end last years winner Michael Sranschitz won the Ästhetiker Shred Down 07 with his first run of the day. For the first time in the history of the Ästhetiker tour a rider defends his title and wins the same contest in two consecutive years. The first three riders received with their results a highly desired wildcard for the Ästhetiker Jam – Wängl Tängl held from 22nd to 25th of March in Mayrhofen. Friedl Kolar proved his style qualities and won the legendary Style Award.

At the end the culmination of this contest weekend was the Shred Down to the valley. The name of the contest is part of the program and therefore riders, shapers, organisers and media partners shredded down the mountain together. With a smile in their faces everyone arrived at the bottom with the memory of a great freestyle snowboard weekend.

Seppe Smits Won the Forum Snake Session @ Nordpark

It was the first Snake Sessions tour stop at Innsbruck’s local resort, Nordpark on last Saturday and the park was in relatively good shape for the current snow conditions. Previous night we had a nice late-night-session at the park, so we decided not to hurry up to the mountain, just up for the finals.
When we got up to the park, it was only 8 young guns left in the finals. We caught up with the judges; Forum team captain Jon Weaver and team/host rider Peter König, sat down with them and followed the finals. It was a relaxed one hour jam session at the park that consisted of rail, 10m kicker and a rail box at the end of the slope.
It is pretty amazing how many times you could jump that kicker. The short chairlift takes you up in 30 seconds, and then if you hit it straight from top to bottom, you can manage to do the lap in less than a minute.
After following these kids with big clothes(apparently a current fashion) pirouetting one after another from the kicker, I realized that most of them had some killer style. And we’ve been wondering why they call these guys youngbloods. They definitely are the future.

Soon it was time for the prize giving and Peter König announced the winners. It was Seppe Smits who took the 1st place with solid riding leaving his brother Anthony Smits on second place.


Seppe Smits first Place


Hot Zone ISPO 2007 Report      
 

 


The biggest qualified visitor trade show in Europe the ISPO 2007 in Munich has opened the doors. All theóß

big board sport company’s, are there to show us the new collections of 2008 and also some unknown little company’s are here to get a place in the market. To show you some exclusive products of 2008 I have made a trip to Munich to give you the first report of it.

 


Munich  05.07.2007 10:30 Uhr.



It’s hard to wait for your Christmas presents but my anticipation onto the ISPO is so big you can not realize. What will happen this year?



My first route starts at the biggest hall A1, all the big named company’s are there like Burton, Forum, Foursquare and many more. Sensory overload is my first thought when I was going in the hall. The first companies I visited were Forum, Foursquare and Special Blend. Austrian The Program sales rep Daniel has decided to give me and you a little fashion show, to represent his exclusive collection. Thanks for this Daniel. After a couple of shots I completed my first mission, and made my way to Nitro Snowboards, they always got a sweet looking booth. I felt like a paparazzi when I was taking the pictures, but anyway, amazing designs, crazy colours and like the years before more stylish than Paris Hilton in her best Gucci outfit. After a couple of tacos I found a little booth with a brand directly from Canada, the name of it is “Nomis”; if you ask yourself, what the hell is Nomis? I show you! This little company was born in Vancouver (Canada) and they produce zip hoodies, sweatshirts, hoodies, caps and much more. But the sensational of this is the love in the details and function. Mat Chamberlain has shown me the hottest products for the next season, and I mean literally hot.


One of the exclusive products is a heater in the zipper, its true so if you getting always cold like a girl, wear this on and you can regulate the warmth with the control panel in the pocket. And it’s washable. Thanks Mat for showing me these hot ass products.


After my lunch brake I found some Ride bindings behind bars, to hot to let them out. For 2008 Ride didn't care and built a collection you can not imagine. To give an insight check the pictures.


Colourful, powerful and awesome ideas! Who is this? This can be only the Neff Headwear Company. With crazy colours, crazy designs and love in the details Neff is showing us the new collection. Hats, Caps, Scarf’s, Shirts, Zippers, Headphones and much more is what makes Neff the unique company from California.


Also Salomon was working hard on there products. With fresh styles and colours they are showing us how creative a bunch of snowboarders are. In other words, basically the company hands them keys to there factory and they go bananas.


SP United, bindings, boots company deluxe. Fresh on board with there new team rider Danny Kass and a Pro Model binding. They also created a binding for the Austrian Zillertaler Crew “Ästhetiker” artless white with the big Ä logo on the highback. They always got some secret stuff, but nobody was thinking that the secret stuff can dance on smooth beats. With the words of my colleague “sex sells “.  


Last but not least, I have visited the Shop Summit booth. Now you will ask yourself what is the Shop Summit? I will tell you.


Shop Summit, discuss your answers! Interact with shop owners and get advice from experts. Question yourself: Does your shop have an image? Is your Shop just a sales area? What does your turnover have to be for you to make money? Can your Shop compete against larger shops? To reduce the risk you can talk with experts like: Muck Müller (AT), Jeffrey Harbaugh (USA) Stefan Dongus & Thimo Kilberth (GER).



An awesome, hard day is over, after a long day I will go back home. I hope you have got a little insight of the Products for next season. Enjoy the winter and pray for snow!


Have fun. See ya.

Rudi Kröll reports from the European open!


Tuesday I came back from the Burton European Open 07 in Laax. I went there to ride the Slopestyle Competition which they moved up to the “Vorap” glacier due to bad snow conditions at lower levels. The park, which included 4 kickers, looked really perfect but it was a very difficult setup to ride.

 


You had to speedcheck every single kicker whereas there was not a lot of time between the kickers which made it pretty hard to get the right speed. Besides the kicker takeoff’s where very steep and the landings too which made it not easier to neither have a precision landing nor to stomp it. That means it was perfect airtime for the photographers.
Furthermore I had to notice that this bad winter also makes me a victim because I didn’t ride a kicker like that in 1,5 month. And there have been 4 kickers in a row at 3000m.

On Saturday there were really good weather conditions during the first heat of the Qualification which I was riding in. My brother “CK” was not really lucky. He was riding the second heat where all the kickers were in the shadow already and also the wind picked up and affected the shredding.

So I qualified for the semi-final which they planned on Sunday. Well, I was checking the weather forecast on Saturday night and it predicted strong wind and snow. So the Chillertal “Hot-Zone.tv” Crew decided to make party and hope for postponing the semi-final. And the plan turned out perfect! I slept till midday till I noticed that the semi-final got postponed to Monday. Sweet! Also Reini Rieser didn’t step out of his bed till the afternoon that day.

So, it was the same then in the BEO 06. No semi final. Everyone of the semi-final moves to the final on Monday. We took the second gondola up on the glacier. It was cloudy but there was no wind when we came up. So we started to train and I was doing 4 or 5 runs. I also tried a bs rodeo 7 on the first jump which I slammed. I was so high and when I came around I couldn’t see the landing at all. It was all white in white and I didn’t see the landing coming. And after 5 runs when the wind was picking up to about 80 km/h it was just impossible to do a safe contest there! So I think it was kind of the only decision to cancel the Slopestyle of this years BEO. It could have been postponed to Tuesday but as Shaun White and some other guys have to go to the X-Games that day it seemed like that wouldn’t be a possibility.
For me it sucks, because this would have been my first TTR result and it would have been a 6star.

Now I am back home and because the park caused some tension in my back I already have been to the masseur twice. In the moment it is dumping and I hope the winter will come finally!

Skiboarding: a new year.
By: calum


much to my delight, i was free from working on new years eve this year; as well as the day before. to make things even better, i learned that garrett, ezra, teddy-bear and no-pants lafrance were also available. tremblant for new yuurs. i met the crew downtown on friday afternoon and shortly after, we rolled out. after arriving fashionably late, we had a mellow park sesh and retired to our beautiful motel, thanks eric. i destroyed at texas hold'em and then we all fell asleep surprisingly early. the next day we met up with the snazzy-coat crew, aka drew and adam. drew and i learned tame dogs, garrett showed the trees whats up, the trees showed me whats up. it was basically a really awesome day, mostly because an old asian lady gave me props on my coat. and also because i got to ride with a great group of people. i couldn't ask for a better way to end the year. well, i could have, but .. it got better either way. we had to do a little running around to get our drink on, but it seemed to work out. maybe it worked out a little too much for eric as he found himself passed out at 11 or so. silly boy. jasmin called him a speed demon on the slopes. i guess he took it to heart and decided to live life in the fast lane. i.e. drinking lots of alcohol really fast. we found ourselves at cafe d'epoque for the countdown. lots of high fives, lots of hugs, lots of love. i had a blast. until closing time .. elf, who had previously been napping in his car, with the window open i might add, was nowhere to be found. his car, sans-keys was still in the lot though. after a short-lived search effort we escaped the bitter cold and took shelter in the lodge. we ended up catching the last f*cking cab in the world at around 6 am. teddy was the angriest little man ive ever seen. after finally getting back, we found our little alcoholic eric lying in bed peacefully. he was quite comfortable lying in the water he had spilled everywhere, i however was not too pleased. what can you do? after a slow start and some hearty mcdo's we made our way out for the first snowboarding that 2006 had to offer. another great day. i landed a switch front nosepress on the double kink box. yay! i hope that everyone had a great holiday and a happy new year. s'all for now. ciao.

So my bro and I just got back from a week and a half straight of riding up over at Durango. .. . can we say goggle tan! ahh! Yes indeed conditions were .. .. lets just say .. . very hard packed. icy possibly. maybe some crusted over powder when we got lucky. anyways, crappy conditions never stop me from having a good time (just ask the Spring Break Whistler crew). Well, looking back on these past few weeks, thus far this season i have achieved 3 personal accomplishments:

1. I ride with some pretty nutty people sometimes. Well, we discovered this pretty good lookin secluded cliff-drop on the side of a run. It didnt look so bad from afar, and we journeyed up to the top of it. B-rad hit it first and crashed, which of course de-motivated me. I did the old "lean-over-and-peek-over-the-edge" move which never helps, and freaked out. of course i pulled some excuses out of my ass like the landing wasnt sloped enough bla bla bla but really i thought it was too high and scary. as we rode down to the lift i couldnt shake this feeling off . .this feeling of. . . feeling of .. . .of GIRL. i hate that feeling, especially while riding with the guys. So i went back up and hit it. 'twas a delight.

2. So this next accomplishment was actually really an accident. but a very cool one at that. I went to gap to 50/50 on a pretty high rail, and i guess i was leaning too far forward, and ended up fully nosepressing the rail and actually landing it, but then falling right afterwards in fear and shock (you know how that goes . .. oh wait you dont? . . .*me=pansy*). anyways, i felt pretty crappy because in my mind i thought i fell on a 50/50 which is truly a pansy thing to do. according to my bro, though, i fully pressed the rail JP Walker style, like you could practically read the bottom of my board. Apparently, someone yelled "Wow, did you just see that guy press that rail?!?" and my bro replied "Dude, that was my SISTER!"

3. I finally learned how to F/S boardslide. This almost resulted in some major head injury since Laura was bad and didnt wear her plastic dome of safety!

so yes so far this season has been fun and i learned some new things. my knees hurt and i have some bruises so i am glad i am going to take a christmas break with the Fam in Yuma b4 heading up to Jackson Hole and letting the guys boot-camp me on the backcountry. My mommy makes a mean sweet-potato dish which should fatten me up and give me a nice layer of flab to keep me warm. Saves money on long underwear. PEACE.
