Almost the whole winter of 2010/2011 the gopro hd was a faithful companion ! Bluebird and downdays, powder runs and crapy park kickers. Mostly Goldeck and Ankogel were the places to be during the colder season. This edit shows a small part of our best gopro-captured days with all my lovely friends. All the footage was filmed with GOPRO HD HERE (720/60fps) without any stabilization aid. Hope you feel just a bit of the fun we had !!!!! See ya’, Sam

Surfbum and jibrat Sam Strauss hanging out in the salty waters of Sardinia, checking whether his Go-Pro is water proof. In fact it is, nice edit ! A slight counterrotation in Sam’s upper body, but what the hell, he’s a mountain goat.

The headline could also say “Sam the Powder-Scout”, but BITCH attracts more visitors to read that entry. See!? Don’t ask me how, but Sam always manages to find fresh powder somewhere. In that case he’s getting ready to shape a small kicker up at Ankogel, Austria. Photo: Anna Weissensteiner

Autsrian ambusher Sam Strauss & friends cruising through some fresh pow in Corinthia. If the category “Powder-Jibber” exists, Sam belongs to that one for sure.

Since wood or stainless steel has not been good enough anymore for austrian ambush jibber Sam Strauss, he decided to grind exclusively on marble only. Fair enough. Solid posh nose press on a solid toscany marble box, probably in front of a 5 star hotel :-) !

Sam Straus is back! Back in Austria getting ready for the winter. Poor hardworking Sam had to hang out in Indonesia, riding lonesome waves between Lombok and Bali. Welcome back to reality Sam, see you soon on the mountain.

Digital, nope, actually analog comp shred, 4 days or better nights ago.

Whether phodawg Mic Dragaschnig is at home with architecture or jibbing, whatever … it seems to be the mix. Protagonist Sam Strauss, helping adding life to another awesome shot.

Were comes a wireless Sam Strauss, sweetwater ollie at Millstätter See, Austria.

Awesome weekend at the Def Raggn Jam: Two riders, one team. One was responsible to kill the rails, the other one for the kickers. I had to do my kicker job. We ended up 6th. Pretty good. Will do some more spins though next time, not like on this shot below :-)

Greets from Sam.
