Team Report 04-19-07
Can you believe it’s already Spring? Or is it? What happened to Winter? Well, it is officially Spring, and everyone seems to be scrambling to get in as much shredding as they can before the snow melts.
Here’s a quick update on team ThirtyTwo.
Fredrik Austbo was lurking somewhere in Tahoe with the Standard Films crew, trying to bag in as many days of filming as he could until he had to go back to Europe for some demo. (Boo-hoo!) Freddy was on the never-ending contest circuit for the majority of the winter. He flew out to Tahoe in mid-March, purchased a snowmobile so he could continue to ride the backcountry (or what's left of it) with the Hatchets, and then he had to make his way back to Europe so he could ride in a demo for his Bank sponsor. Freddy plans on heading back to the States to wrap-up the rest of the season with the Hatchets, so be on the lookout for Freddy in the new Standard Films flick due out sometime in September.
Dustin Craven recently won the Shakedown Competition, taking home a whopping $15,000 Canadian, which is almost $14,950 U.S.! He pulled off a frontside 1080 to tail slide to frontside 270 out of the box. He said it was a blast and he pretty much stayed intoxicated the entire time. Big-ups to Craven! Dustin's been filming with the Capita crew all season long, so be sure to check out more information on the Capita team video due to be out sometime this Fall.

John Jackson has been on a mission this season. He’s been back and forth between Canada and Idaho in the search for clear skies and powder! He’s been filming with Standard Films all season long and from the looks of it, Jackson should have another banging part this season. Be sure to check out more info and the latest news on Standard Films and their video premiere dates.
Benji Ritchie is having a great season. He’s been busy filming all season with the White Out crew. He even got to hang out with legendary Gerry Lopez at Baldface this Winter. Check out some of the pics.

Markku Koski and Stian Solberg have been traveling together for the last few months, searching for the next slaughterfest. They’ve been up and down the West Coast filming with the Defective crew. They’re in South Lake Tahoe right now on a Stepchild photo shoot. They’ll be there all week bagging in as many park shots for the team video.
Markku Koski kicks one out.

Tyler Lepore recently celebrated his birthday on April 11 with some of his good friends in Vancouver, BC. Happy Birthday, Rabbit! Ty’s been filming with the Capita crew all season long. He reported that this season the local resorts in Vancouver have been the best they’ve ever been. He’s a little sad that the season is coming to an end, but stoked to check out how the Capita team video will turn out.
Janna Meyen has been keeping up with her physical therapy and working toward getting on her shred stick once again. She’ll be coaching this summer at the High Cascade Summer Camp along with Wille Yli-Luoma and Leanne Pelosi, so if you haven’t signed up yet, then go to High Cascade to secure your spot.
Hampus Mosesson was last seen in Are, Sweden at the Burton Half Pipe Invitational where he placed fourth. Good work, Hampus! He has been traveling back and forth from Europe to the States, filming with Mack Dawg all season long. Be sure to check back for more info on the video premiere dates.
Leanne Pelosi (a.k.a. Party Pelosi), has been busy filming for her part with Runway Films all season long. She was last seen in San Francisco on an etnies Girl photo shoot. She, along with a few other girls were invited to the men's Superpark in Keystone last weekend. Her next destination? Who knows? Maybe your neck of the woods.

Wille Yli-Luoma spent the last few weeks in Alaska trying to take advantage of the record-breaking snow they’ve been getting this season. He was up there with the Mack Dawg crew trying to milk the last bit of pow. He’s back in Portland sipping on some java and getting situated with his newly-purchased home. Be sure to check out Wille’s signature session at High Cascade Snowboard Camp this Summer.
In other news, Marie-France Roy celebrated her birthday on April 17! Happy Birthday, Marie-France!
