Monsieurs Weaver & Greenshields Carvin It Up

Firstly a few word from Jon Boy out in the mountains ...

Big Jon Hits One.jpg

"Last weekend in Laax was the Pleasure Jam with many of Europes top riders in attendance for the annual end of season session. Me and Gary Greenshields went over and sessioned every bit of slush until it melted. There was also an alternative boardercross necking a beer then doing a run which had an acid drop to the pipe, couple of pipe hits and a straight at the end to box.... I got through to the semi finals but by that point all ze germans proved too good at beer drinking and took it away from me.... We did some fun flips on the hip and it was a great week.
I am thinking of NZ with Tom and Gary if I can manage it so I will let you know!"


And from Gazza...

"Well hello Relentless, how are you all doin'? Me, I have been busy........ first up was a quick trip to Avoriaz for the park contest which went down a storm. I then had a few days at home to relax and wash my smelly gear before the Brits. The Brits went well where I finished up 3rd in the pipe, 2nd in the big air, 5th in the slope style and 1st in the TTR contest. I also managed to shoot some good pics and hang with my Relentless team mate Mr Tom West who got 3rd in the big air.....sweet. Next stop was Tignes France to shoot pics with my buddy - check him out at http://www.nathangallagher.com. We got some sweet shots but you will have to wait untill next winter to see them in the mags. I then had a 8 day trip to Austria with photo hound Dan Milner in a great area of Austria called Vol Arlberg where we got so lucky with snow and weather and got lots of shots in the bag........be sure to check out Suk Mag next winter for the story. It was then back to my car to drive home to wash some gear (again) and get up early to jump on the train to Munich to fly to Oslo Norway for a week for a contest and photo shoot. Pure Relentless. Hemsedal is a beautiful place up in the middle of Norway. There there was good snow and a great park to play in. I managed to get into the final after only 1 hour to test the park before the comp. The course was 4 jumps into a rail into a halfpipe then a hip qp combo.....a hell of a long course but good fun. For the final though there was something different in store, a 25meter booter into a massif hip that sent you high and far. Only the top 16 made it through and i was lucky to be in 13th place going into the final. I had some solid runs but managed to only improve on my qualifying place and move up to 11th. We shot some sweet shots and had a really nice time up there thanks to Nat Mayer and Tamsin (check out Whitelines for the story next winter). Once i got back from Norway i was straight into the Burton Black Metal trip to Mayrhofen. The winners of the Blackmetal series (....sponsored by Relentless) were invited to ride the park with us burton pros. It was so much fun riding jumps and jibin the piste and rails all day. I even whipped up some food Greenshields style for everyone on the last night. A quick nights sleep then i was back in the car off to laax (again) for the pleasure jam. its a summer style session where everyone just has fun and shoots pics and rides hard all day. 5 days of solid riding and shooting and i was done. It was so much fun and the partys were great. Thanks to Jan and Bene for a great week. Now i am back home for a night i just got back from a comp in St Anton were i was a judge for a day and now i am going to Ischgl tomorrow to shoot with vernon deck for the day. Then i go to switzerland for the final of the Volcom peanut butter rail jam. it 's going to be so good ...... then Sunday back to Norway for a week (April 22nd-30th) to shoot with the Volcom crew and some friends...... So, now when you see how tired i am at the board test May 5th -12th you will understand why... come to think of it pass me one of those cold cans! ;-)"
