Getting the 14/15 snow season started....

We had some snow at Helmos Mountain last week, waiting for some more next week,

   some thirsty for riding jibbers decided to go at the park and give it a try...

blast from the past....

Some years ago, when JP, Jeremy and all the forum guys started something called  jibbing we didn't know what it was about. After watching some videos, (yeah, video tapes, not dvds, neither youtube clips) we wanted to try this new thing, so we borrowed a small rail from the skate guys at pantanassa and went straight to  Helmos, for "jibbing"!!! 

It was the 28th of October 2000 and we were hoping to find some snow.... (no snow cams back then...).

Hopefully there was alot, as you can see, and our edges met metal for the first time..

Time flies fast guys... see you all  up  there soon!!!

New park obstacles

The snowpark at Kalavryta is working great, despite the lack of snow all over Greece and the Balkans.

Last Friday some new obstacles from IOUsnow find they way to the biggest park in Greece, making the number of obstacles bigger than ever before!!!

    The 7m long Down Flat Box is HUUUGE, with some more snow this would be the best jib obstacle by far...

Rail lovers would find this new 6m long doublepipe handrail interesting...!!!

and 2 new Hybrid tools for the hard working shapers

Now we have to wait for more snow and dream our new lines in the park....

Seli trip

Fifty-Fifty team riders Stelios Danourdis and Dimitris "Rodrigo" Valsamis along with Giorgos "choco" Apostolopoulos spend a week at Seli mountain in Northern Greece. They met with Seli park shaper Vaggelis Martinos and had a blast!!!
