Right now I’m in Whistler to ride for a week in between competitions. Two days ago we decided to go sledding with Crispin and Brad Martin, two canadian friends that live in Whistler. They took us out to the sickest backcountry I’ve ever been!! Here some pictures off the most exhausting but sickest day off my season..

Brad and me ready to drop!

End of a fucking sick day!!

After a few days of training and two broken boards I did the quali’s of the halfpipe contest today in La Molina on a borrowed board. You should expect a disaster, but I reached the semi finals. I’m happy I can show my skills tomorrow again. Here a few pics of the trainingdays, thanks to my friend and photographer Rutger Geerling.

BEO.

Sorry for the late update. Havent really paid allot of attention to my website lately, but now finally a update. After not getting through semi’s in the Europecup, the week after a Worldcup started. I was feeling the competition more then the Europecup and even ended up in the finals. I didnt ride that well in the finals and ended up 12th, still satisfied though. The competition was over and I headed home again to relax and get my party on for three weeks.

After being home for two weeks and enjoying being home, I left to Saas-Fee for a Europe-cup and World-cup. The Europe-cup didn’t go as well as I thought. I went into semi’s but didnt do well enough to ride in Finals. Next week is the World-cup, so i’ll keep you updated how I did then!
