This is the first in series of archive clips from old harddrives and tapes. Few clips and story behind them. Here’s few clips from Portes Du Soleil, Switzerland. Great place to build backcountry kickers for snowboarding. It was march/april 2007 and last day with good powder snow. We had this quite big jump and got some great tricks on it but also some slams. Here’s few shots of Antti-Juhani Piirainen, Miikka Hast and Matti Kinnunen from the day. We were filming for The Scrapbook Project. Movie that was released with the biggest snowboard magazines in the world with 400 000 copies. Check out scrapbook.fi .

More than 100 riders from Finland gathered last weekend for the TTR Finnish Open, all the way up at Tahko. Top names like Heikki Sorsa, Peetu Piiroinen, Matti Kinnunen and Risto Mattila pimped up the event with their appearance, ready to fight for US$ 10.000.- !
But pouring rain and gusty winds forced the organizers of the TTR Finnish Open to move the qualification heats from Friday to Saturday. The weather was slightly better on Saturday – still very windy but good enough for an informal jibbing contest. The field was absolutely stacked today as Scandinavia’s best jibbers were in attendance.
The course consisted of a rustic up-rail, some A-frame kind of log and a corner jump. A.R.C. rider Matti Kinnunen showed max creativity during the entire jam session and ended up on top of the podium. (more…)
