My video clip "Thaifun"

I made the edit and small video clip of my riding in Thai Wake Park during October and beginning of November 2013.
It was full 12 days riding without days off! TWP wasn't so crowded and I'm really happy that I got a chance to land a couple of new tricks into video. There are "Switch toe side front side 720" and "Moby Dick".
Moby Dick is my first inverted handle pass trick, this 720 I had done earlier, but never got it into video))!!

Temple and Gods of Thailand

I just returned from Bangkok, I was riding every day, but thanks to some Finnish friends, who were visiting in TWP, I went also to check some culture as well... at least once.))
I know, I'm boring guy, I could just spend all the time in the wake park... well mostly I've seen everything around already.
Main thing! About 10-15 meters high Buddha!
Quite near of TWP is temple, what is quite interesting to check out. It's also so near that you can go by moped during lunch break. You need for this visit about 1 hour.))

If I understood everything right there were Hindu and Buddhist Gods and game-characters in perfect harmony with each other.
Angry Birds front of Hindu temple! I was just thinking where is slingshot...
There is small kiosk in the area, where you can buy some offerings to the Gods. Front of the Gods were many drinks etc... I almost bought and sacrificed energy drinks for them!
I think it was possible to buy a God with you if necessary!
My Finnish friends Santtu and Kristiina front of the main Buddha...
