Standard Pako… Need we say more?

… a.k.a. Doc Research, trying some new protos this afternoon in Hintertux, Austria. Awesome to have a resort 1 hour from the Amplid Headquarters which is open 12 months a year. The perfect lab for the A.R.C.!

Snowboarder, graphic artist, flash master, rastaman, bassplayer: Tommi U. was rockin’ the party last night with his latest band SUPERPURSUITMODE. If you want your ears to have a look into his accustic electronical artwork, check Tommi U.’s website right here.

Two reasons to party last night: Mitch T., finishing the university in order to surf some mexican waves for the rest of the year. And: A party to raise money for the SURFAIR foundation, which was founded by Mitch Tölderer, Flo Puritscher, Bibi pekarek and friends.

Surfair? The money from the SURFAIR Charity event goes to Franz Lackner and his crew who can use it for the most urgent needs. Franz Lackner, originally from Steiermark, Austria lives already for 40 years in the east of Indonesia (Timor,Roti and Savu) where he is working as a missionary. Every day he is living and dealing with the problems of the local people and is helping them to help themselves. At the moment he is working with the locals on a well where they have to dig 30 meters deep on their own. He and his staff travel around the island to bring medication and other things of need to the people. Furthermore they run a girl school which gives them the chance to make a degree and learn a profession. At the moment there is a big need for scythes (a simple tool to cut grass) in the rain season. Otherwise the grass rottens and during the dry season people have to slaughter their animals because of the lack of fodder.

AK cinematographer Seppi Dabringer, Stefan Gimpl, Peter Bauer & Stefan Falkeis donating themselves some beers after donating to the charity event.

Who says skiers can’t be knuckle draggers too? Brady Perron destroying it per usual!

Gigi Müller, currently living in Chilliwack, B.C., is not only an awesome ripper. He’s got some serious talent as a carpenter (in fact he is a carpenter!). Here is his latest furniture collection pimping up his backyard. Gigi - can you smoke these plants in the background !?

Here is coverboy Dennis E., decorating the latest ISPO mag.
Dennis hiked up in the morning, took a color sample of the rock, went back to the hotel, pulled out a matching jacket and inverted his ass off for the photographer. Right on Dennis. This is what we call a “pro”!

Un documental de estilo libre, with A.R.C. rider Pako and friends. And probably a bullfight combined with BBQ.

Alex Martini, buttering his homeland for security on the C7.

“Memorial” might sound a bit harsh to some of us, but no worries: We are only bemoaning his shoulder. BTW: This event  represents what marketing wiseasses would call “grassroot activity” :-) ! Check out why …

Little cool sequence from Pako’s qualifier run.

Ambush rider Christof Schenk, obeying and doing what the ski instructors told him to do: Make sure you do your pole plant!
