International Team Report 04-09-05
Hello again! It's Springtime in Europe, and finding powder is becoming more and more difficult. Most of the guys are traveling all over the world searching for good snow and trying to get their video parts together. So, read on and enjoy!
After his awesome performance at the Battle in Falun, Sweden in March, Hampus Mosesson skipped the Arctic Challenge in Norway and went straight to the States to get more footage for his video part in next year's Defective movie. Hampus will attend the upcoming ThirtyTwo photo shoot, along with a couple of other Swedish ThirtyTwo rippers.
After his trip to the Alps for the Helly Hansen photo shoot, Jussi Tarvainen returned to Finland to shoot some rails with the Absinthe guys, and took a pretty hard slam on one of them! He stayed in Finland for a couple of days to give his body a break. Juicy is now heading to the States to get more footage for his video part.
Thomas Harstad spent a couple of weeks in Norway, where he went on a tour with the Pleasure mag crew and a couple of other riders to do a photo story about Norway! 
Now he's in the States with the Storbis gang to collect footage for his video part. The new Storbis Web site is online now, so be sure to check it out. Thomas will also pay us a visit at June Mountain during the upcoming ThirtyTwo team photo shoot.
Heppu Pentti is finally back in Finland, also known as Lapland, where the Finnish Freeride Championships are currently happening in Kilpisjärvi. Before he left Austria, he got 2nd at the Big Air competition and 4th in the Halfpipe contest of the Austrian Masters. Furthermore, he was awarded the Best Hip Jump Award at the famous Wängl Tängl contest in Mayrhofen, Austria. Heppu’s on fire!
After the Arctic Challenge, Chris Sörman is on the Quiksilver Bus Tour through Scandinavia, which should give him a little break from all the contests he's done in the last couple of weeks! Chris is a busy little fellow!
Tomi Savela just won the Nokia Big Air / Martin Cernik Invitational Contest in Czech. He said the prize money was good and the party was even better. Tomi has left Mayrhofen, Austria now, and is heading to Andorra for another competition. 
After that, he will take a little break and vacation for a week in Barcelona together with Kaius Korpela. After that, Tomi’s going to follow Heppu to Lapland, where he plans to spend the rest of Springtime riding with his Finnish bros.
Cuca Aranda is finally riding again! She feels better, but her back is still causing her problems. (She broke one of her vertebrae!) She was riding and shooting in Andorra in March and then in Les Arcs for a Roxy photo shoot. Next stop for Cuca will be the Candy Jam girls’ contest in Sweden.

April 13-17 Pleasure Spring Session in Laax, Switzerland
April 22-24 Candy Jam Girl’s Contest in Sweden
