«Hi Lukas, what’s going on?»
«Gut! I just left Innsbruck, I am going to Argentera! It’s fa-antastik!»

Phone calls between me and Lukas Goller during this past winter would almost always start off like that.

Argentera is a small village counting 93 residents, near Cuneo. Lukas got so much into it he spent most of the last filming season there, as he was shooting for Random Video.

In the photo above, taken by Denis Piccolo and published on Sequence Snowboarding #25, we can peep a little preview of what’s gonna show next season.

If someone asked me to describe Tobias Scherlin, I’d probably say that he’s a party animal capable of coming back from the deads after the craziest party for jumping right on the big structres of the Kinglaurin snowpark.

Anyone who attended the last Subject Schlern edition cannot deny that I am speaking the truth.

He did every run on the Saturday contest, and he showed up at the night party in snowear, complete of snowboard boots, and totally drunk. Sunday morning after just a few hours of sleep he was ready to jump in the snowpark and won the 360 contest with a perfect FS 360 Doublegrab.

A hard weekend, a severe trial for everyone, riders and insiders with two days of contests, parties and local beverages.

Special thanks go to the Panettone Bros guys and Alex Berger for the hospitality.

This year, Electric is celebrating its 10th year and they will welcome us at ISPO in Munich to celebrate this event.

A good opportunity to discover the new collections among which 3 new goggle designs EG2.5, EG1K and EGB, the R.I.D.S. rider inspired series and the collaboration with Neff headwear, introduced for the first time at ISPO 2010.

From February 2010 7th through the 10th,  Hall A2 – 236 with the entire FW 2010/2011 Electric collection, including the new R.I.D.S. series here below.
Happy 10th anniversary !!! 

Recently On Board magazine hosts a section held by Zoran Filicic. He interviews people that somehow left their mark in the history of snowboarding in Italy.
On issue 85 there is room for GroS (a.k.a. the fattest of the bastard founders!), who tells us a little bit of his personal history, from the beginning of snowboarding and skateboarding in Italy up until today.
So it’s a good chat with Zoran from which stem thoughts, criticisms and funny stories.

Dowload the GroS interview on OnBoard (italian language only) if you want to know more about our favourite event speaker.

This photograph portrays Lukas Goller under the chairlift in Val Senales, Italy.  When I looked at the picture for the first time I immediately fell in love for it. Evidently was appreciated as much overseas, to the point that it got featured on a double spread in the wallpaper section, Transworld Snowboarding December issue.

For those who might not know the photographer Matt Georges, he’s a French dude based in Grenoble, who usually brings an innovative perspective on action shots, always focusing on the environment rather than obsessing on the trick itself. Check his personal page on Onboard for a deeper look. 

Here’s some nice powder footy and various impressions on Riding Pow in Eu, the new podcast episode of the Pirates Movie Production. It also features Lukas Goller who, besides riding for the Pirates also expressed his creativity in several graphic illustrations over the last few years.

Man, we make it safe! It was not easy at all, special for the Grill and the party, but the week end in Val Senales was great…

Saturday morning Supersession at the big Jump and Ignorant Session at the pool, check the gallery below. In the afternoon we grll and dink the all day at the skatepark. Nikolai Danov and Marco Lambertucci were skating and we were playing ignogolf!

The night was too cold for party outside, so we moved to the Leon’s pub and the party went crazy (as usual over there).

Thanks to Gentlemen Riders, Alex Fakieshop, all the riders, drinkers and party animals! It’s always good to spend a couple of days there, they are champions in “happiness”!

Are you ready for Scholser Pfaif ?

pfaif = pipe  schlolse =  Senales

This awful drinking tool will heartily welcome you to the next bastard Grill’Em All.
