Posted by Janne as Photos and Videos, Summer Sports
This post will be kind of exception for us.
Usually we like to try write something valuable, not just send pictures .
Anyway, my last mountain biking related article got this comment from Carl of Made-to-Order Bikes, Atlanta:
“Would love to have you write a guest post on our blog about this…contact me if interested!”
Pretty cool. So, we [...]

(Image source: www.pinkbike.com via www.tetongravity.com/forums)
The feature is built in San Jose, California and sponsored/promoted by the energy-drink mega corporate Red Bull it self.(By the way - do you [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Chamonix Spring Pictures
Posted by Janne as Photos and Videos
Ski season 08/09 is now officially over for us. I was planning to ski a few days still on the first of May (Labour Day) holiday but ended up canceling that trip - driving three-four hours only to ski on a small pile of slush didn’t temp that much. The summer-like temperatures made the decision also easier: it is time to [...]

DC Mountain Lab and Subaru WRX - check this video out!
Posted by Janne as Other Cool Stuff, Photos and Videos, Uncategorized
Summer seems to be here. For many people cars , and especially cool cars, are something that belong to summer for sure.
Marko wrote some time ago how he is not a so called car man. So, I’m not either…that much. For me a car is mostly a vehicle that gets you (and you family, gear [...]

Although skiing in [...]

The weird stuff - strange skiing innovations that might work…or not?
Posted by Janne as Other Cool Stuff, Photos and Videos
We’ve been blessed with the biggest snow storm of the winter! Even here in Helsinki we’ve got like 20cm of new snow. It’s almost April already but for me this late winter snow and cold weather is more than welcome.
So, after a long work day (and the usual routins with kids) I couldn’t manage to get [...]

Skiing Crash Videos - Few Examples of Bad Ski Crashes on Video
Posted by marko as Photos and Videos
Yesterday I watched Wildboyz on MTV. Some things they do are disgusting, but I have to say it looks a lot of fun. Sometimes I feel like I wish I was there with Wildboyz. Anyhow, they are stuntmen and they know what they are doing. I would just kill myself when trying those freaky tricks.
Dropping [...]
