Back from Hintertux

Hi. I’m back from Hintertux and it was amazing! First two days the weather was great and the park was perfect. Next day we stayed at home, because it was snowing very hard. On Thursday it was still snowing but it was a little bit better so we went to ride some fresh powder and we tried to find a natural spine but we simply couldn’t, because it was too fogy. Friday we woke up at 6.30 and the weather was not good so we stayed in the apartment and at 9.00 it got better. It was sunny. We went up for a ride. My best friend and me and Pucko were riding powder with Grega, while the others stayed in the park with Ico. At first we were jumping off a cliff, doing some front flips and some nice powder turns. Than we found a perfect spot for a backcountry kicker. We were building it for about an hour. The kicker looked like some roller and it was just great. I was the first one, who tested it with some backside3’s, but I landed on my back. The next jump I did a backflip tailgrab and pulled it away clean. I had some problems with a third jump though. I took more speed and I over rotated a back flip. That’s, when I started thinking about double back flips, which I had in my mind for a long time now. I tried to do it and I’ve realized I’m very close so I tried it again and again and I finally made it and, oh man…it was a sick feeling. I was very very happy. I landed it two times and we have it on a tape…....

Hey everybody!

It is me again. Well…tomorrow I am going to Hintertux glacier as we start with the training for the upcoming season. Can’t wait! But what I really wanted to say is that the season 2007/08 turned out very well for me. I have learnt plenty of new tricks and started to jump on some really big kickers. My coach made a short promo of my riding, you can check it out, if you want.

Oh…Did I mention that I am going to Hintertux glacier? Aljosa

Well hello…My name is Aljosa Krivec and I come from Maribor, Slovenia. I have decided that the subject of my first blog is going to be about World junior Championship, which was held in Valmalenco, Italy this year. That was my first WJC ever and I was really stoked, when I found out I came into the 1/8 finals. With a little bit of luck I got to 1/4 finals, where I lost in a head to head combat against Petja Piirioinen, who beat me with a huge, perfect backside 720 (I forgot his grab thoughJ). I did a backside 720 double shifty, which was my best performance of this trick ever. At the end I was 8th and soooooo happy! By the way… Petja won this event. RESPECT!
