russia, here we come!

(kirovsk backcountry, here i come. back in black (and pink... hehehe)

after some office work during the last couple of weeks and bringing the summer issue on the way, its time for another trip again. destination is kirovsk, a small, industrial town well above the arctic circle surrounded by an endless mountain range. perfect for both: backcountry shooting and urban stuff. snow should be still super sick, as the temperature did not rise above -5°C yet and there was one storm after the other coming in throughout the winter.

the crew will be christophe schmidt, dave bertschinger, fipse strauss and colin frei, anne schmidt from planet sports, alex schiller filming for isenseven and öfi and i as pleasure media bitches.

having some backcountry shooting before us, i tried to get some shit done that i already wanted to have for the canada trip: a detachable noboard pad, just fixed by the screws of the EST system... tried around a bit and it now seems to work pretty good: a 2 pieced pad on alloy plates that can be mounted on any board with a channel system.

(yes! the first ever detachable NB pad... it just mounts on a normal board with channel system)

the backpack mount for the gopro cam got some redesign and the curved part (that is used for reverse angle) got a straight brother (sic!) so we can get some nice sled-cams.

can't wait for the trip to begin... i'm super hyped!

stay tuned!
