Team Report 07-13-05
Summer's in full effect, people! Here's a quick update on what the ThirtyTwo team has been up to.
John Jackson and his brother Eric took some time to chill out in SoCal with a little golfing, surfing and causing some havoc. They're back home in Mammoth recouping from their three-week vacation. Word has it that both the Jacksons have some pretty banging shots in Standard Films' new movie called Paradox. Be sure to check back here on the ThirtyTwo Web site for premiere dates and a sneak preview.
Markku Koski went under the knife again for the second time on the same shoulder. He's doing well and back in action. It was a quick surgery and recovery for Markku, since he already knew what to do. He's been skating and attending his physical therapy every day. Markku will be heading to Canada to chill out with his girlfriend for the better part of July. He may extend his visit and head to the States for the premiere of Standard Films' Paradox in early September.
Tyler Lepore has been one heck of a busy wabbit. He's been working on artwork and graphics for his snowboard, as well as wrenching away on his new motorcycle. Ty's also been working with a few friends, better known as the Human Five, a collaboration of artists working together to put on art shows around Vancouver. Tyler, along with Wille Yli-Luoma, will be showcasing some of their fine artwork sometime next month. Check back for further details.
After coming off a successful season, Janna Meyen was recently nominated for an ESPY award. Votes are in and the winner will be revealed later this month. Keep your fingers crossed for Janna Meyen.
Leanne Pelosi and Alexis Waite have been coaching at the MGT Snowboard Camp in Whistler all week. Sorry, dudes. This camp is for girls only, so back off! Here's a what Leanne had to say: "So far, the girls have been killing it and having loads of fun. It's going really well. There have been no injuries yet, other than a missing tooth from chasing Lexi around." Check out all these pictures from the camp.
Benji Ritchie is in Europe right now, attending some of the Summer camps in France and touring around with his other sponsors. He recently spent the month of June in Costa Rica, getting his surf on and soaking up some sun. Benji will be returning from Europe next week to chill out and visit some of his family in Montreal.
Alexis Waite took home a little bit of cash at the Abominable Snow Jam last month at Mt. Hood, nabbing 2nd place in the Slopestyle event. She's been guest coaching with Leanne Pelosi at the MGT Snowboard Camp in Whistler all week.
Wille Yli-Luoma is pretty much settled in at his new pad in Portland, Oregon. He's been busy getting ready for an art show scheduled sometime in August. Wille's also getting ready to be the guest coach ad High Cascade Snowboard Camp later this month for a full session running from July 28 - August 4. Check back here for the latest.
Corey Smith will be having a little art show in Portland, Oregon this Saturday, July 16 from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. at Nemo Design, 1875 SE Belmont Street. If you're in the neighborhood, come by and check it out.
