Hey hey out there, whats up?

I’ve been at home for some weeks now, skateboarding and meeting some ol friends, my back has pretty much recovered, extreme headbanging on the dance floor and a couple of stair-sets aren’t a problem anymore, so Im back to normal life, even happy that I didn´t go to Venezuela, because apparently the wind was a bit dangly there, though Alvaro really represented and even got 3rd with only power and style, check out the videos on youtube.com/extremeelementstv, s1ck stuff by On1x!

Lets come to the real news: On the event schedule this year was one event that I really wanted to go to and that is the Red Bull Kite Punks in La Manga, the biggest slider event in the world. So yeah, Red Bull contacted me a while ago 2 tell me I’m in. Duuudes, I was seriously stoked!

There will be 4 days of training, from Tuesday till Friday of next week and on Saturday the 17th of May, we will have a competition. We riders are going to choose the winners, so this event is really led by the the freedom philosophy of boardsports.

I’m going to drive up the coast together with Alvaro and Karolina Winkowska on Monday. The level is going to be very high with 2 real slider legends from the LF team, Moe Goold and Mauricio Abreu coming there as well as our  Worldchamp Aaron and the “Mega” Ruben. So if the wind plays along, an exciting show is guarantied! 

Im sooo looking forward to it, will be exceptional for sure! 

Hope you’re all living 100%, thanks for reading my weekly nonsense,

Silvester

The other day I went to the airport and wanted to check in for my flight to Venezuela, funny thing was, I booked my flight for exactly one month later, so would have had to cancel this one and get a new one, but decided not to do so because I hurt my back a couple of weeks before, and only kited 3 days during 3 weeks, 2 days at the PKRA in France & 1 day sliders in La Manga and even resting so much I hadn’t recovered from the injury, so next day I went to see the doctor, had to go through an X-Ray where no damage was visible, the doctor diagnosed “inflamacion de ligamentos” (spanish…) but he seemed to have no idea at all, so what I’ll do is rest a bit more and if it doesn’t get better, check with another doctor.
Check out the video below, made by Thomas Alsbirk, LF teamrider and one of our kitedesigners. Its some riding from Leucate, my heat against Portas, some pure wakestyle from Peter Sands and more riding from more LF riders.

The whole trip from Malaga to Leucate and back was absolutely crazy, first we build a slider in La Manga on one day and slide it the next day, then we had really good skateboarding sessions in Barcelona but meanwhile, some dickheads broke into our car and stole Alvaros clothing bag, Alex his Macbook and my passport and Macbook Pro, then we spend a thousand hours at the police, Alvaro and Alex kited in front of Barcelonas skyline, meanwhile I was organizing a new passport, then we had to repair the broken window from the robbery, so in the end we almost came to late for the competition in France. In France, we hit a nail with a wheel and once we changed it, a Lady suddenly drove backwards at a cross section and crashed into my sisters van that we were traveling in. And those were only some of the highlights! In the end we’re all happy to have done the trip but also happy that its over! Ill be home for some days now and the mess continues on the 25th with a flight to Venezuela, where I’ll participate at the next PKRA Event. Those pics are screenshots from the movie that Alvaro, Alex and I are making.
