IWWF CableWakeboard World Championships 2012 Manila

Because I'm traveling in Asia, I'm more than 30 years old (Masters Category) and I got a place in Finnish National team, I have chance to participate to World Championships!

Truth is that Finland has not team, so it was quite easy to get place in a team, also I don't shame so much my level, because I can ride in Masters.

Anyway 2nd -11th of November 2012 I will be in World Championships Manila Philippines!!
Check the competition page and entered riders, there I am))):

Season Closing in St. Petersburg Russia


I came back from Bangkok for a moment and joined “Just a Cable” season closing party. It was of course in only place where it can be; 360° BAR (Ligovskiy 39).
I visited also in SunPark (our wake park), what was still running. All these were already in the last weekend.
Water was about 11C° and air 11C° as well!!

After Thailand I didn’t want to close my season at all, my season is continuing, but I didn’t ride in SPb, I even have not anymore wetsuit; somebody put my 2 years old, lot of used, smelling wetsuit to rubbish.)))
Some pics from party:
 
 
360 Riders Bar was almost full!
 
Anna and Sakara with prizes...
 
Anna was closing her season 2012 maybe already 3rd or 4th time... well she picked up prizes more than anybody else.))
 
We had really great time with balance boards...
 
We saw amazing tricks....
 
...as long as "Killjoy Ilya" took our toys away!(((
 
Me, Anna and Vera
 
My Finnish ex-colleagues, now just friends
 
Great reverse cable operator of Miami Park!
 
 
One of organizers: Kirill Karnov


Even that is was season closing I got invitation to ride in SunPark next day. I went to there, but only to shoot photos.

Autumn colors are now really beautiful and guys who are still riding are really brave!

Calendar October 2012

Every month I'll publish new page for 2012 calendar. Save it, print it and tape to your wall! ;-)))))

I am totally late! It's already 4th of October!
This is only explanation, but I changed my computer and some my software's were missing and I couldn't make this October in time.
Well here it is. It's of course from ThaiWakePark, where I just spent couple weeks and will spend a large part of the winter.
I like this picture, it's possible to see; Air is quite big!
Check the distance to starting place, from where I started to fly and height.

One 24 hours in Bangkok

I just came back to visit shortly in Finland/Russia, but last weekend in Bangkok was so great!
Here are some photos and small clip; how one 24 hours went.

Dinner in sea food restaurant...
...including Teacher's etc... There is possible to bring your own bottle to the restaurant and waitresses immediately started to bring classes, ice and pour drinks. Nice!
Late evening arrival back to TWP and sleep.

Cable opens 9am. In weekends from 9-10 am is peaceful and no queue in TWP.
In background you can see some new buildings; there will be the bar, offices and one town house.


Then riding whole day...
...until the evening when darkness comes very fast.

I tried that day 'S-bend to blind' 4 times and landed it clean also 4 times. Earlier I made it only in system 2.0.
Well I wanted to get it to video. Darkness comes so fast that you can't change ISO value or Aperture fast enough to get good photos or video. This next video clip is my S-Bend to blind; I still wanted to make it once for this clip. Unfortunately quality is already bad because of lack of light.
Anyway can see, it's done!)))

Again beautiful evening in TWP!
After riding we went to recovery Thai-massage in Kawae Spa Pantesan. Here with Ilkka Nissilä, who is my friend from Tampere, studying now in Singapore and was by chance in TWP. World is small!
