International Team Report 01-28-05
Hello, everyone. Yes, it finally started dumping in Europe! It's snowing everywhere, and we finally get to ride some nice powder! So, here's the latest news on the ThirtyTwo European riders:
Hampus Mosesson just left Europe and went to the States, where he's gonna film and enjoy the great snow.
Thomas Harstad was in Norway for the Scandinavian Open Big Air, where he had a lot of fun with the jumps and the people! After that, he went to Sweden to do some pipe riding and get ready for the European Open in Laax! In Laax, he qualified in 1st for the Men's Halfpipe competition, but unfortunately, broke his board in the Semi-Finals and skipped the rest of the contest!
Jussi Tarvainen has been warming up in Finland before going to film with Absinthe. After having a blast in Talma, learning new tricks and getting the rails in control, he's ready to go to Utah and start filming. A few months ago, Jussi's dream came true when Justin Hostynek asked him if he wanted to film for Brusti's and his movie for Absinthe Films this year. Jussi couldn't believe it was happening. Finally, Jussi is ready to start filming, learn to ride powder better, go to new places and meet new people.
Heppu Pentti won the Malmi / Oksanen contest in Finland just before Christmas, and went on a surf trip to the Dominican Republic after that! In January, he attended the European Open, but bruised his heel in the Slopestyle Qualification and couldn't ride for a week! So, he decided to go to Greece for some powder runs befoe the Pro Freestyle in Avoriaz starts!
Young Swedish ripper Chris Sörman has been traveling a lot all over Europe the last couple of weeks! He won the Men's Slopestyle of the European Open with a lot of style! Keep on rocking, Chris! Next stop will be the Freestyle Pro in Avoriaz, France, and then Chris will head to Innsbruck, Austria to film with the Method Mag Crew!
Cuca Aranda is still having some problems with her last injury! She hurt her back about a month ago, and is spending her time in rehab now! But she'll be back soon! All the best for you, Cuca!
Nicolas Watier started the season in his local park at Les7Laux to get ready for the coming months! Early this month, he went to the Tignes Air Wave contest, but overshot the jump, unfortunately! He still made it to 4th place! Congratulations! Now Nico is heading to the Pyrenees for a photo shoot!
Tomi Savela and Rasmus Tikkanen are finally free again after their hard time in the Finnish army! They will enjoy time back on their boards now, and film and shoot all over Europe.
That's it for now! Have a great time in the snow!--ThirtyTwo Europe
