Bella Italia! vol. 1








Dear Jake,

While some of us are digging deep powder in Saas-Fee, others are hanging out at in-city scaffolding events. That's why we are more than one person at TM Europe, right? So we can represent in all areas.
The city of Modena is hosting the "Meltdown" rail jam by Forum and Burton's "Stomp It" hip event this weekend. Stephan "Mu" Maurer, Gary Greenshields, and new kids on the block to watch out for, Sweden's Ludwig Leikner and Roman Dlauhy from Czech Republic, joined forces with the "Barton Italy" Team of Giorgio Ciancaleoni and Tato Chiala to represent in bella Italia.
Next to riding the rail comp and hip qualis, the boys hung out at the Burton booth of the tradeshow held next door, and checked out the stoked kids at the Learn To Ride slope. How sick is that: free snowboard lessons for kids right on site on a mini slope!

Roman Dlauhy qualified for tomorrow's hip semis on third spot, and took home 500 Euros. Grazie mille!

Check back for some shots and news from the hip comp!
