BATALEON CREW CROWNED GANG OF THYON 2011

bataleon_is_the_gangs_of_thyon_2011_2015

Here you can see a happy Bataleon crew fresh of the chopper, now that’s what i call team building! It was great to go heliboarding and win the gangz of thyon for the third time in a row then party the f*+k out all in one weekend. The funny thing was three of our team members celebrated their birthdays throughout the week. It was a great present indeed. Oh and i must mention, the air show during the contest was totally nuts! paragliders, skydivers, wingsuits and an insane acrobatic plane made us ooh and aah for almost half an hour.

here’s a short clip:

HELSINKI WITH THE HOMIES

Niels got knocked the fuck out by the bungee handle.

Yes, helsinki is a hell of a city, great clubs, nice sightseeing und tons of street spots. We got some stuff done, not too much though, but overall it was just a fun experience.

SNOWING ALL DAY LONG…

The last two days we had lots of snowfall and fog so we decided to look for more spots, and we stumbled upon some neat stuff and set up a kicker which is probably covered under a thick blanket of fresh as i write this. Four out of five members of our crew got sick and vomited the night away, i’m the last man standing, every day another victim so i’m afraid it could be my turn today haha.
