Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

Hot girls only in EstoniaSimple Session 07 This is the First contest of the year and it was an awesome way to start the year off. I would like to say this is my first time out of the country and I could not say how much fun this trip was. I went there with Dave Mirra and Mike Laird (Mike got hurt a week before so he couldn’t ride but he was still so stoked to be there). When we got off the plane it was only 4pm but it felt like 11 because of the whole time change so we knew we couldn’t go to sleep. We just went out and met up with a bunch of people and that turned into just a party till 3am.

Little snow on arrival - SpinnerThe next day was practice it was crazy like 80 people on the course, It was a unique course tho like it had something for everybody quarters, hips and a wedge to wedge box jump but also a whole street side ledges and wedges. That night was a party it ended close to 4am.

Spinner in your faceThe next day was prelims which I am glad to say I was there to see some amazing riding. That night everybody went out even if you were in finals and had to wake up at a decent time it didn’t matter. Okay Finals was pretty crazy and I mean that everybody stepped it up.
