Well it has been a few years since the last time I was at one of the TOP snowboarding events in the Alps. Yes you have guessed correctly it`s time for some snow-pelasures at the anuall 4 Star TTR super showdown, The O’Neill Pleasure Jam. Most of us Slovenians know this event from the old days and we flock to it en mass 🙂 One of the funnest weekends to see your old buds from days passed.
The Pleasure Jam is one of those events where you see a showdown of the “old” vs. “new”. We will see Ole Christian Hagan, and last years winners Aimee Fuller and Eric Beauchemin fight it off against top tear challengers like our Slovenian Tim Kevin-Ravnjak and Sven Thorgren. Not to forget of course local suspects form Austria Matthias Weissenbacher and Clemens Schattschneider who spent the summer in New Zeland and will definitely have one or two aces up there sleeves.
Another thing that they thought off again this year is a cool video challenge. That is complete by now and well it has 13.000 likes on facebook so you guys definitely like to watch people shred hard 🙂
Also clearly a legend in itself are the party’s that surround the event. It`s hard to describe what happens in a town as small as Schladming and lets us flock back again and again. It might be the puzzle off putting it all back together after not knowing where one ended up and how XD. Those are the stories that are ripe for one of those Nich Foley Californication style movie scripts .. new material to surely follow this weekend 🙂
As usual I will be there with some tumblr realtime coverage of all the mayham going on and a nice little post report that you will be able to enjoy after you sober up and return to your own beds after the weekend. Who knows I might even get a few aerial shots done 😛 See you there Friday ! Oh and if you still haven`t gotten a place to crash you can still get one of the packadges here !
