Funi Kicker Day - The Video!

BOOM!!!

Funi Kicker Day!!

When I saw on Facebook that Funi were going to be holding a kicker day off the side of the Derby run, I couldn't wait to check it out. I don't mind hitting the kickers in the park, but this was something for the big boys! Hywel was on hand to take pics of everyone's efforts and he had to lug all of his equipment up the mountain which included snowboarding with a bag weighing half of what he does! Hardcore. When we arrived (after some off piste action and a lot of hiking), the kicker had been built and the comp was in full swing. I've never seen so many lads throw so many back flips ever! Pies was the man of the match for me as he even did a back flip whilst drinking a beer mid rotation! What a hero! Him and Joey also went off the kicker at the same time whilst flipping! Was insane! I have some mean video footage which I'm going to edit together so watch this space for that. There was a very impressive turn out and it was cool seeing everyone hike across to join in the showmanship. Excellent kicker day brought to you by the excellent Funi - the beanies were well represented by the competitors! Roll on the next one......

Funi, Friends and Fondue

 

There's been a lot going on this week so I thought I'd share it with you all in one post. Lets start from the top and work our way down (oooo errrr!). Been riding with some awesome people who have really pushed my riding and it has forced me to be more hardcore than I may have liked. But I've lived to tell the tale so not all bad! The top pic is of Henry aka Token who represents Funi better than anyone on the slopes. He's Funi'd up to the max! I think that this picture should be the new ad campaign for sure. Henry and Chris had found an awesome off piste natural jump which they decided to fling themselves off (vaguely successfully) but it got me off piste which was ace. Next up we have Elliot in a rather fetching wig. It actually belong's to Chris but I think it accompanies Elliot's tache quite spectacularly.....French Porn Star anyone?!?.Josh went to the charity shop and got himself an epic onesie which cost him the sum of 4euros! I think you'll agree he can pull off that look rather well......It was Willem's last day on Friday and to send himself off in style he managed to break his hand - with the impressive x-ray to prove it! But to celebrate his last night we went on a mass Loft outing for Fondue which was incredible. You really can't beat melted cheese and bread. As the Aussie guys would say - yummo!! I've been working all day today so am exhausted and am going to enjoy a day off the slopes tomorrow. I have a lot of sleep to catch up on. The Loft has broken me but in a truly amazing way.
