german halfpipe championships

Christophe Schmidt, old and new german HP champion! congrats, vogi!

yeah, so stoked! good things came quite unexpected, when it was announced in january, that the 'pipe aid' movement (dedicated to bring back a hafpipe for germany) finally succeeded at Oberstdorf with the help of red bull and some other sponsors. of course, it was logical to hold a german championships again (after 4 years without a halfpipe on german soil).

the smalls on their way up

so last weekend, it all went down and i have to say it was a banger! soooo many of the old crew from back in the days came to ride and to compete. it almost felt like a highschool reunion! the pipe was good & the spot at Nebelhorn is just perfect. weather held on (at least for the first couple of hours) and the whole thing on the mountain was a blast!

Mini with his actual board and his very first one. he is still riding both of them... siiiiiick!

after some beers at the pricegiving down at the 'Out Of Bounds' shop, it was time for alot of talks with old friends. we all had a nice dinner at Primavera Pizza and went to Hörbar afterwards for more drinks.
sorry i don't have shots from the night... i was having such a good time that i just forgot to take pictures :)

nice trophies! vogi like!

thanks everybody for a nice reunion and a nice comp.
i guess, everybody's gonna be back next year!
