Summertime

Hey everyone,
long time no post. Now there is definatly a reason to post. I had a really good week in Portugal. The first week surfing this summer. I just love it so much to get to the beach after the winter. Its amazing to feel the hot portugal sun on the skin and getting to surf is even better. It just makes the body feel so good. :-)
We had all kinda atmosphere you can get in Portugal I guess. I began with storm and rain. Fast changing weather and rough sea. After two days the storm was gone and the swell was there. 6ft Offshore with beautiful weather. Just amazing. As good as it gets in Ericeira I guess.
We surfed everyday and we had sunsets at the beach and bonfire at our little moinho our windmill.
Now I am back in Innsbruck and still I have pretty sore muscels from paddleing so much.
And I am happy and tanned. Surfer tan is on ... ;-)

enjoy the pictures....

two days at Kaunertal

I ve been to Kaunertal for two days. I ve been shredding the park in pretty perfect spring conditions. A little bit slushy but not too slushy. The sun was shining and it was already summer down in the valley.
So its been Powder on Wednesday ( Birthday Pow) and "summer " park shred on the glacier friday and today.
Korbi and me decided to take the bikes up to the Glacier in Kaunertal and ride down with it after skiing. (got my new mountain bike as my birthday present) Everyone who knows the road up there can imagine the ride down with the bike...... ;-) pretty much ... FUN. A ride downhill for about 30 km !!!
I needed a little bit to get into it and get the feeling for the turns and brakes.. but then we pretty much raced down....

it was a really nice day. Right now I am chillin in my hammock and its still... I don't know maybe 25° .

shred....

its... summer .. now!!!

first bike ride with my new bike!! ... 30 km downhill

little brake at the lake... it getting warmer down the valley...

behind the scenes of Nine Queens 2012

its a week ago now that the Nine Queens came to an end. My body feels good again after this amazing and also exhausting week of shooting.
For me this whole week was really good. To see the other girls riding so good pushed my motivation again. And also for me riding again, doing my mellow tricks, gave me back my confidence and trust in my knee. I know now that my knee can also handle with a crash and I can still do my tricks. Its still in me after one year completly out of jumping. :-) of course it is...

To hang out with all the girls and also get to know them a bit better makes me looking forward to the next season and all my plans for it.
Looking forward to ride with you girls again next season ...yeewwww ! :-)

So here is my little version behind the scenes Nine Queens 2012. I hope you like it!
