Vancouver pt. I

On monday, Moritz, Alexis and I went to this sweet street skatepark in Vancouver. Skateboarding feels a bit weird and rusty these days; it's still fun though!
Afterwards, Moritz took us to the beach and introduced us to one of his best friends: the otter. 
He also entertained us ...
... with his Kendama skills.
Thanks for some of these pictures Moritz and everything else!

RevyVan


A few days ago, I bought me a real man van; together with my buddy Hansi, who is coming to Canada at the beginning of May. On Saturday evening, I got it back from the mechanic, threw my stuff in, picked up my buddy Alexis and we headed to Vancouver. This is the spot where we spent our first night.
After a bit of trouble on the road, we had a blast at MtSeymour. Nice weather, super nice views, best spring slush conditions, a very playful park and very good vibes made this day even more special.

We will stay in Vancouver for the next few days. Spring is in town and our skateboards are ready ...

Closing Day

Last sunday was closing day, but also another spray day. 
 The conditions are still amazing up there. It's a bummer, that they closed the resort already.
The last view before we dropped in for our very last run.
On monday some of our friends organized a legendary season ender party in their backyard (which was also a birthday party). We teamed up again for some serious backyard jib action before the party and we also worked on our gang sign skills.
It's still on ...

Thanks again Robin, for the action shots!

Sidehit Saturday

Jaryd showed us his art of carve ...
... but also developed some new grabs. Progress all day long. 
Louis and Moritz, one of my favourite couples these days ... 
... and another one: Alexis and Louis. 
Alexis handplanting a Mute ...
... and Louis on his favourite spot.
We found many good spots today; this was one of them for sure.

S-Games

The local skate- and snowboardshop 'Society' hosted a really nice contest last week. I am stoked to be in the same edit together with some legends ...

Two More Days To Go

Nobody can believe that the season is going to end in two days. We are still enjoying a lot of snow up there and I took these two snapshots today. As you can see, it was dumping quite a bit and playing with pillows never gets boring:

Alexis' Indy

April Fools

Louis was our guide yesterday.
First, he practiced his photographer-skills ...
... then we made him taking this tourist-pic of us (Moritz and me).
His guiding-skills are also pretty good. Nobody went into that zone before we showed up.
Mount MacKenzie, beautiful as always. 
Trees, Cliffs, fresh snow and fresh lines everywhere.
Silence. Happiness.
