A Day At The Office

One of my working methods; or a little picturized tutorial for my new webseries: 

"How to have fun at work" 

Same thing, different angle 

You can even find a third shot on the Atagge Blog if you click right here.

German Mountains

I started working in a pretty decent snowpark in Germany. The resort's name is 'Grasgehren' and we are mainly setting up stuff for the jibbing rats out there. Here are some impressions for everybody who's interested how my new office looks like. 

the top views are from my balcony during December and January
the bottom view is from behind my new office 

the view on my way up to my office

the 'Riedberger Horn'; picture perspective out of my office 

the view into the valley; again behind my office 

that's the other side of the resort. If you look closely, you can see the snowpark aka 'my office'

some artsy stuff ...

... and some action shots together with Ralphe  a couple of days ago. Thanks to Flo for taking these pictures.

Besides working, snowboarding, reading, drawing, sleeping there is eating. That's it, and it's good! 

Here is a little line through the park. Unfortunately, we only posted it on Facebook. 

Revy In Motion Again

Somehow, I managed to get some high end gopro shots last season while riding revy. I also edited it by myself so your expectations can't be too high ...

Mount Hood

Trillium Lake and Mount Hood a couple of days ago 

Hansi took some pictures of the wildlife there ...

... and we still don't know if that fellow was poisonous.

The first day we went up to go snowboarding again, we met this awesome guy: Ben.

He's from Vermont and he definitely knows how to have fun on a snowboard! 

So does Hansi, sending it all day long in the perfectly shaped public park on Mt Hood

Hansi again, with a serious tailpress  

Some people stay in line, I'd rather snowboard 

The team on the last day: Ben, me, Ben's buddy and roomie Sam and Hansi

I got rid of my boots (thanks again Maddie!) ...

... and ended my last day of riding on this continent (so far) in another hot tub ...

... in the middle of a forest; Ben's backyard.

Thanks again Ben, for letting us stay in your drive way. And thanks to all of your buddies for fun times and an unforgettable stay at Mount Hood!

Our 'dry-station'

It's been a good week, with a lot of sun and fun fun fun. Some noses are brown now, some turned red, and we can't get enough ...

Whistler pt. I

Two days ago, I spent three
hours inside the Whistler Health Care Center to hold Moritz's hand. He hurt his thumb ("skiers' thumb") but apparently, it doesn't stop him having fun all day long.

Alexis sent this FS 3 a bit too far yesterday. He ended up with a broken finger, but still we are having tons of fun up there.

It's spring-time up on the Blackcomb and we are enjoying it!

RevyVan

A few days ago, I bought me a real man van; together with my buddy Hansi, who is coming to Canada at the beginning of May. On Saturday evening, I got it back from the mechanic, threw my stuff in, picked up my buddy Alexis and we headed to Vancouver. This is the spot where we spent our first night.

After a bit of trouble on the road, we had a blast at MtSeymour. Nice weather, super nice views, best spring slush conditions, a very playful park and very good vibes made this day even more special. 

after an intense day

evening scenery over Vancouver

We will stay in Vancouver for the next few days. Spring is in town and our skateboards are ready ...

Closing Day

Last sunday was closing day, but also another spray day. 

 The conditions are still amazing up there. It's a bummer, that they closed the resort already.

The last view before we dropped in for our very last run.

On monday some of our friends organized a legendary season ender party in their backyard (which was also a birthday party). We teamed up again for some serious backyard jib action before the party and we also worked on our gang sign skills.
It's still on ...

Thanks again Robin, for the action shots!

Sidehit Saturday

Jaryd showed us his art of carve ...

... but also developed some new grabs. Progress all day long. 

Louis and Moritz, one of my favourite couples these days ... 

... and another one: Alexis and Louis. 

Alexis handplanting a Mute ...

... and Louis on his favourite spot.

We found many good spots today; this was one of them for sure.
