Team Tobias Scherlin | bastard

If someone asked me to describe Tobias Scherlin, I’d probably say that he’s a party animal capable of coming back from the deads after the craziest party for jumping right on the big structres of the Kinglaurin snowpark.

Anyone who attended the last Subject Schlern edition cannot deny that I am speaking the truth.

He did every run on the Saturday contest, and he showed up at the night party in snowear, complete of snowboard boots, and totally drunk. Sunday morning after just a few hours of sleep he was ready to jump in the snowpark and won the 360 contest with a perfect FS 360 Doublegrab.

A hard weekend, a severe trial for everyone, riders and insiders with two days of contests, parties and local beverages.

Special thanks go to the Panettone Bros guys and Alex Berger for the hospitality.

Man, we make it safe! It was not easy at all, special for the Grill and the party, but the week end in Val Senales was great…

Saturday morning Supersession at the big Jump and Ignorant Session at the pool, check the gallery below. In the afternoon we grll and dink the all day at the skatepark. Nikolai Danov and Marco Lambertucci were skating and we were playing ignogolf!

The night was too cold for party outside, so we moved to the Leon’s pub and the party went crazy (as usual over there).

Thanks to Gentlemen Riders, Alex Fakieshop, all the riders, drinkers and party animals! It’s always good to spend a couple of days there, they are champions in “happiness”!

Boy, such a long weekend up there in Gaverland! After a series of quite unfortunate events (avalanches, broken roads and postponed events), we finally succeeded in the Safari Session, the Electric Team Photoshoot. During the winter we added up quite a few riders in the Electric roster, hence the idea of the photoshoot and some filming. The tranny was built by Mattia Molnar with the help of Gigi Gas and his brand new Everest. The kicker that came was 8mt tall (26ft) with a 6mt (20ft) gap, raised landing and a nice steep bumpy runway.

Who showed up and what did they do?

On Easter Sunday, Mattia and Tobias Sherlin open up the jump fearlessly. Mattia shoots out a couple of frontflips while Tobias celebrates the warm spring sun riding in sunglasses, no gloves and no jacket, simply killing it. New jack Matteo “Whatza” Borgardt, shovel in his hands, builds a wall on the landing and starts a series of handplants in the jump gap. And watching him ride the park rails was awesome. Kinder, landed in haste from London, rested for almost the whole day saving up energy for power 360s in the golden hour.

On the skiers front, Massimo Kikko came back on the big jumps after ACL surgery. Knee and tricks getting along perfectly! Paolo Martinoglio killed it, and we could see why he’s in the european team! We sure didn’t expect a 15 year old busting big moves like those. Mark this name: Denis Battisti, supercool young Obereggen local.

For the records, Mattia lands a 720 cork, then takes his girl on (litterally!) and rides down the mountain to the parking lot with the “passenger”, followed but their trustee dog Doremi. Family time (best image of the whole photoshooting)!

Monday morning up at 5am for catching the crazy lighting before we had to go. As the sun starts rising the session starts off. Kikko abandones due to evident hangover matters, Pedrazzi the swissman abandones due to evident crazyness matters. So only Kinder and Paolo keep on riding and make this early session worth the rude awakening. The sun is now all the way out, it’s 8 am, time for breakfast and the ride home.
