In the last couple of days I have gotten an epiphany, I have strugled with the “Slim Chance” and “Backmobe” so long that I don’t really know when I started trying for them. I have finally started to nail the low “backmobe”, then someone said to me: “Ey, you should try your trix the other way if your right-handed”. Well … what do you know. The “Slim Chance” suddenly became much more in-range, after just acople of hours on the water.
This acctually means, I can do the “backmobe” on my switch side (the side that is not my strong side), and almost the “blind judge” on my switch side. So now my mission has became clear, start trying them the other way so I might be able to stick them faster (I have spent almost 1,5 years getting the backmobe on my switch side).
Nick (our Swedish friend) has gotten all his mates over, so Damian’s house is now filled with about 10 people! A bunch of really cool and skilled riders from Sweden.
We hit the “Kitejam” in “Safety bay” acouple of days ago, and the level there was just off the hooks.
Some proffessional riders where there, and man what a show they put on. The power, the twists and turns, and the stuff they went for was just unbelivable (oh … to be young again). Damo showed his awesome level of riding with throwing anything from huge wakestyle moves to unbelivable board offs with double backflips and getting the board back on his feet before landing. He is an incredible stylish rider (and would have gotten my vote for the win). On the other hand (on the note of sounding selfish), it’s very very very good to see the guys having that many crashes. It makes me feel that I’m not that far away from the level they are riding at. Almost every other trick from all the riders resulted in spectacular crashes.
