Austrian Les Ettes teamrider Vani Waldenhofer reports from Val Senales
Trip to the Gentlemen Riders Park in Val Senales
Just right after the Dachstein Park-Closing, some shredheads from Blue Tomato – Franki, Alex, Jürgen, Tanja and myself - decided to start a short trip to the beautiful Val Senales / South Tirol. The Gentlemen Riders built a really cool park up there and they managed a great stay for our crew (Grazie for that!!). On the first day we wanted to start everything easy, when we realized that the park already closes at 1:00 p.m. every day, so we decided to get up even more early on the next days and try to get some shots done in the mornings.
Well it’s always the same, when you are motivated the most, the weather will pretty sure fuck everything up! The rain in the night and some fog on the mountain on the next day, made us to kick the shooting plans and we had another easy riding day. On the afternoon we started a trip to Meran, probably one of the most beautiful cities in South Tirol. On the next 2 days the weather was pretty cool and even the snow was not too slushy, so we even managed to get some shots back home to Schladming. Besides the shred, we enjoyed a great season-end party with the Gentlemen Riders! Well, for sure we will be up to come to Val Senales next year again! It was a great time!
