Lords of the TWP

Something new in TWP!!
They made a new concrete pathway and skateboarders found it immediately. So now here is also so called mini skate-park.
When concrete was enough dry, local 'young lions' started to skate there immediately. They are just shredding by wakeboards, chilling and skateboarding all day long. (What a lifestyle!!)))
These young guys bring to my mind Lords of the Dogtown movie and Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva and Jay Adams... Watch the movie if you haven't seen it. It's some part of history of boarding.

Merry Christmas!!

We didn't get white Christmas in Thailand... but something like a Christmas maybe... for sure not traditional Finnish Xmas.
Santa had double shift...
Late in the evening cable park could bring to your mind the winter, frozen lakes or ice-skating area...
Even at Christmas some people are working and some are resting...

At Christmas day I got some nice shots of me... (Thanks Anya)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY!!

My new 2014 toolings

Already long time I wanted little bit longer board.
Santa Claus came little bit earlier this year to Thailand and I have a chance to test before gift wrapping!!
The first impression is that really good board, little bit softer what I was thinking. Landings feel really good by this board.
On sliders really good, slides well and nice flex in the nose and tail for massive presses.
The first air trick was little bit surprising with soft release, this board really must to cut deep before release, but when I knew it, the following air tricks were okay, ... and landings are so nice.
Really thin and light board! ...only thing what I scare: How durable it is? Well let's see I have 2,5 weeks time to test it in TWP field laboratory.))

Spanking in China!

I’m in China and living in quite nice hotel.
Soon I’m going to Bangkok (for wakeboarding), I want to keep myself in shape and ready for riding so I went to gym.
I felt little bit sore in my back and because there is also Spa, I asked back massage after gym. Price was nice 30 minutes about 6 euros and I was thinking something relax able.
When massage started lady said: “Very very bad.” ...only English words during session!
She showed me from catalog, what I would need and off course I’m in China there wasn't any English words!)) Some nice and beautiful Chinese characters only...
Prices were a couple of euros, so I was thinking what to scare, why not.
So forget relax able massage!
Check the picture and I want to highlight that I wasn't in any kind of Lady Domino spanking session!!))


After massage I found from other catalog (some words in English) that she made me cupping and sculpting!))
I can tell that especially this sculpting was so painful that I had to stop her a few times...
Treatments should continue tomorrow, after tomorrow and after after tomorrow… should I continue??? )))

Snow follows me!

Winter and snow has come finally! ...to many places))
I have strange feeling that snow follows me!
I'm traveling a lot, but snow appears where ever I am... sorry for bad quality mobile phone pics only.((
Here are 3 places around the globe and I was there when the first snow fell:
2 weeks ago in Bulgaria near of Sofia!
1½ week ago in Russia Saint-Petersburg!!
...maybe there were some light snowing earlier,
but this was strong, this is after 30 minutes parking.
After Saint Petersburg I left to Asia, but probably not south enough!

Just now in Shandong Province China!!!
After 1½ week next stop will be in Thailand! If snow still follows me I start to worry... actually why??... white Christmas in Thailand would be awesome!!!
