Nice advertising video of Nokian Tyres!

I wrote to my profile: "I'm working in non-profit institution." Actually I'm working in Nokian Tyres, which is very profitable company.
My meaning was: "I'm working that I can ride." )))))
...
New advertising video of Nokian Tyres is quite nice. I've ridden by snowboard towed by snowmobile in winter, but from this video I got a new idea.
How would it be to ride on the lake in summer by wakeboard towed by snowmobile???
I am voluntary to make it! So all summer-snowmobile drivers please take a contact!
...Okay check the cool video!

The last day of the trip in Ski360 Cable Singapore!

It was the last day of the trip and it was so great to ride still one day in Singapore.

I want to go back to there immediately!!!! )))

Evenings in ThaiWakePark

Park is beautiful in the evenings...

... but you can't spend every evenings in the park. After whole day riding should recover somehow. Quite near of the park is place where is cheap massage and food. (massages 150-300Baht/1 hour and dinner 100Baht)
It's easy to get there by taxi (100 Baht) or by moped/scooter and you can drive yourself.



"Panthesan" street in the evening.
I couldn't find the official name of the street from anywhere.



My favorite street kitchen, I had dinner here quite often.



Gas station, full tank to scooter = 100Baht and it lasts for a one week driving!



Some fruits from "Happy Cat"))



I was shooting photos in the street and they asked to take photo of them.
Then they asked to join to drink Leo (local good lager beer). I was ready!

If you want to go to the beach from ThaiWakePark???
One weekend I went to the nearest beach of Bangkok, but I don't recommend it to anybody!!
Name of the beach is Bang Saen and it's terrible place!



130km from TWP and by taxi 1200Baht





Looks better in pictures and in the evening!!
I didn't swim here!


Bang Saen is the nearest beach of Bangkok and it's popular place for locals to spend weekend. Sand on the beach is combination of mud and sand. Dirty and crowded place!

There are quite nice hotels near of the beach and I spent weekend recovering, resting and relaxing on the pool of the hotel.

Pool of Le Casa Hotel. (about 40€/night including breakfast) GOOD!


If you want to go to beautiful beach I recommend some islands (e.g. Koh Samed), but then you need 2-3 days.

Daniel Grant and some air tricks in TWP

There was long queue in ThaiWakePark and limited laps. This moment it was only 4 laps. Daniel made these air tricks during these 4 laps. Of course he was making some crazy things from kickers and obctacles during these laps, but I filmed only these air tricks.... unfortunately.

Julian Cohen from Florida in TWP

Shortly 3 jumps from Julian Cohen...

I was just shooting photos and when I saw this guy riding I decided to make video clips.

He was just trying to make new trick for him, switchKGB and when it was landed he straight made also swKGB5.

Switch KGB7 I didn't get to video.)))

KGB, KGB5 and SwitchKGB5

Expansion of ThaiWakePark spring and summer 2012 / Развитие TWP весной 2012

Everybody who has been in TWP knows how crowded place it is. Earlier there was long queue only in weekends, but nowadays there is always long queue.
Especially big groups of beginners are often blocking the starting place.

Все кто был в TWP, знают какие там очереди на старте. Раньше там была большая очередь только в выходные, но теперь каждый день! Особенно большие группы начинающих…



Normal situation in TWP





TWP has understood the problem and expansion of the park is coming soon. I was just riding 3 weeks in TWP and found out what kind expansion they will have.

TWP принял проблему во внимание и скоро произойдет расширение парка.

 

There will be 2 Rixen Little Bro systems. The first opening at the end of April for beginners and the second for advanced riders with obstacles at the end of June.*
Рядом будет еще два РИКСЕНА ЛИТЛ БРО 2.0. Первый открывается в конце апреля для начинающих, а второй с фигурами  для продвинутых райдеров  в конце июня.*

 


Here are some pics of construction works:

Несколько фото работ в TWP:



As always they were building new obstacles, this will be or maybe it's already in main lake, but looks quite interesting, very looong and some kind of kinky step in the middle of slider.

Как всегда они делают новые фигуры, после моего отъезда, этот рейл уже спустили на воду.

*All schedules and details of expansion are not official information! I was just talking with personnel and got this kind of information, which I wanted to share!

New tooling and some photos from TWP!

Like I wrote in the last update I broke my board. It was really durable, it lasts for a half year!
Of course it's always sad, when you break your board, but there is always something positive, I mean sooner or later you will have a new one.))

Old broken one!




My new tool!
Totally same board than I had, but new graphics.
2012 Liquid Force FLX 142cm

My last week I was riding by new board! )))


 

Riding in ThaiWakePark

One long day in ThaiWakePark...

Nikita Martianov rules from kicker!

"Some" Dominik Guehrs on rainbow!

Sunset in park

Nice sunset on Rainbow and girl riding on it!

Result of the day! My board again... This board was durable!

When day is over they have free transport to Lam Luk Ka. This time it wasn't full!)))
This is for those who are not living in TWP.

Short video clip from Singapore

I fast-edited some material from Singapore...

...and yes there is also this my slam.))) It's doesn't look so bad, actually it didn't even hurt... well I don't remember.???

I'm already in Bangkok and I have tried to recover and relax little bit more...

Calendar March 2012 and Sentosa Island in Singapore

во время отпуска я даже не заметил что уже март.


I'm on Holiday and didn't notice that month changed already. It's March already!!

фото с искусственной волны, должен сказать это было сложно. несмотря на то что я много катался на вейксерфе это нечто совсем другое. в вейксерфе нужно наклоняться вперед чтобы ехать быстрее, и назад, чтобы тормозить. здесь же нужно все время опираться назад.

Picture is from surf tube and must say that it was really difficult to surf there. I've done quite a lot wakesurfing (surfing on wake of boat), this is just opposite than wakesurfing. I mean in wakesurfing you should keep your weight in front and you go faster and weight at the back and you will brake. Here you must change your brains and keep all time weight at the back that you can surf.

в сингапуре я советую посетить.

If you visit in Singapore I recommend to take day off from wakeboarding and go to rest to Sentosa Island.
Here are a few pictures from there:

Entrance to Island

Sentosa underwater world

Sentosa Dolphinarium

More surf tubing))

Universal Studios in Sentosa

я встретил там братьев

I met some my new spiritual brothers!

Beach of Siloso Hotel in Sentosa

на выходных парк работает до 22 00.
поэтому вечерком можно покататься.
это необычно, кататься при свете прожекторов.
но очень сложно делать трюки т.к. не видно приземления.

Cable park is working until 22:00 in weekends.)))
So there was still chance to ride little bit!
It is great, but difficult to land tricks, because you can't see so well landings.

Back in the pool of hotel in centre of Singapore, this was one long and very active day in Singapore!
