Time to take some time off the internet and blogging.
While preparing for the holidays and free time, check these posts older from this summer:
Marko wrote an excellent article (with videos) about B.A.S.E jumping icon Jeb Corliss a while ago, read it HERE.
Mountain biking is clearly our number one summer activity, so we’ve made quite a [...]

Matchstick Production’s CLAIM, the Greatest Ski Movie…EVER?
Posted by Janne as News, Other Cool Stuff
While we are still in the summer mood here (with e.g. lots of mountain biking content) the nights are already getting longer here in the northern hemisphere…some of you might already got that first itch for the coming ski season. At least starting to train for the slopes now might probably not be a stupid idea at [...]

I still search for any good ski blogs around the world to add, and just recently found another very interesting one. (by the way, if you want your blog to be added or know some you think are good enough, just contact [...]

An Oldie But Goldie from Riksgränsen, Sweden
Posted by Janne as Other Cool Stuff, Photos and Videos
Few weeks ago we wrote about the Scandinavian Big Mountain Championships in Riksgränsen, Sweden. The event and the resort have a long history of co-operations - this year’s event was already the 17th in a row.
However, the resort of Riksgränsen had its real heyday in the early and mid nineties, in the time when the [...]

Interesting Document of a Base Jumping Icon Jeb Corliss
Posted by marko as Other Cool Stuff, Summer Sports
Last time I wrote about El Caminito del Ray - The King’s Pathway and I embedded a video which shows how scary it is to walk El Caminito del Ray. Later that day I found myself watching base jump videos in YouTube. Few years ago I was riding bike with my friend in Wengen, Switzerland [...]

Northern Norway - Winter Isn’t Over Yet (+ links to some interesting ski & snowboard communities and blogs)
Posted by Janne as Other Cool Stuff, Reviews Blogs
This photo was taken on the 21th of May (yesterday!) in Tamokdalen, Norway. (Source: http://www.relaa.com , Photo: Aadne Olsrud)
In my latest post I was kind lamenting the summer skiing in Norway, or actually Europe in general. I didn’t express myself clearly…as the border of winter/spring/summer is sometimes quite shady. People ski e.g. in Chamonix all the steepest [...]

Short Skis Suck, Long Skis Truck…
Posted by Janne as Other Cool Stuff, Photos and Videos, Review Equipment
Well, at least for these guys…
The Kirkwood, California, locals had a nice ending day for their season - the longboard day! The rule: 210cm or over. What a concept…I wish I could organise something similar around here. We’ve been talking about bringing our (tiny) old 200’s to the local park someday and busting some sweet old [...]
