Just came back from rail sessions and found that i’m right on the website frontpage of the largest newspaper in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat.. Few reporters walked by and here’s the result:

Uhhhh... What's It Say?

Not sure whether you’ve ever made it into your hometown’s paper, but it’s a pretty cool occasion. I personally found myself  on the cover of my hometown paper in 1991 for windsurfing in a tropical storm. The other stories around it talked about downed powerlines, thousands of homes without power, the FBI nabbing some killer and right there in the center was a color picture of me jibing (what you don’t see is me falling in afterwards… heheh).

You ever been in your paper? Leave a comment!

Man, ohhh man, this stuff just gets me fired-up for some action! Mmmm mmmm… TIGHT!

Romain de Marchi once told me: “whether I hit the big mountain or just go for a joy ride at my local resort, I always strap it on.”

I’m not sure what the dudes are doing in this video, whether they’re “strapping” or going without, but if it’s the latter, you gotta ask yourself: how much higher is the risk of back injury?

Romain gets top honors in this video for “TOP 10 ALMOST LANDED TRICKS.” There’s no secret now why he chooses to strap on his Slytech 2nd Skin Protector wherever he rides. Whether a small joyride at his local resort or big mountain, he straps it on.
