This spring sometime in may, when the lifts in hoch ybrig were already closed alex schiller and his gang of shredniks joined us for a week of shooting in our home territory. Howzee and I showed them around and we started shaping our arms off on several spots. There was a brand-new spot we claimed that seemed like a perfect fit and two other projects that were more of a flop. The first good kicker we rode was a stepdown roadgap which was a lot of fun to hit, I got 4 different tricks and each of the isen crew was happy with the results. Rene had one really sketchy bail on a frontside 720 attempt where he didn’t clear the road and caught his heel edge on the knuckle and got a whiplash type smack to the back of his head, luckily he was ok after a minute of disorientation…anyway the sun was out with early summer temperature and so we got our tanning on for a short break. After that we headed back up to session the other two kickers we had built the day before, which turned out to be shitty, plus I broke my board on a hard nose-dive in the heavy slush. So we drank some more redbull cola, talked some nonsense and enjoyed a fun ride down to our cars. On the following days we were into shaping again, lots of shaping. We wanted to get another decent kicker since our rate was about one decent kicker out of three shaped objects. Plus there was also a down day. We were worried about the weather turning on us and rain washing all of the snow away. The kicker we started building did shrink a little bit until we returned a day later, but we just piled up more snow so it was rideable in the end. Michi and rene had their eyes on a grass gap that looked pretty nice, inrun, table, and a slope like grass gap wich ended into a small tranny landing with snow and a flat exit. An old rule proved itself true once again, sometimes the best shots are the ones that have the least work involved. I tested the kicker, but was very disappointed in its physics. Tobi tried two hits but didn’t think it was very safe either so we started a session on the grass gap, in which I dedicated myself to filming. Some hard slams and nice tricks were shown, and the Isen crew had some more shots that would definitely make it into the movie. the photos also looked way better than I would have expected, good stuff!

On the last day, the dudes from Isen had to leave earlier, since the had a long journey awaiting them. Fizzle joined us in company of his favorite toy besides the snowboard, the potato-gun!

We blasted some potatoes into the stratosphere and then headed uphill to get some jibbing done. Tobi had this crazy idea of jumping into a tree doing backside rodeos which had a highly entertaining note to it. At that time rene, michi and me started goofing around on a big branch that kind of looked like an alphorn. In the end we had our mini line with alphorn to mini rainbow rail. It was epic. Before the guys left we started shooting around more until we ran out of potatoes, so we loaded it up with dirt, yes, it looked like shit. That’s when we had the most brilliant idea of the week. We filmed michi’s naked ass shooting off a load of dirt at the hoch ybrig logo. Lol. That was a perfect ending for a week full of laughs at hoch ybrig.
