"CHILD SUPPORT" filming update Feb 2007

Stian and Markku got the chance to do some riding together in the Colorado backcountry last week. Markku hadn't filmed in the backcountry for two years, as he has been busy with pipe contests. Stian got sick as a dog and had to go back to the hotel partway through the day cause he was puking and had no energy. After the trip Markku headed off to Japan for another contest and Stian is on his way to Tahoe to wait it out there for better conditions.

Chris Edmands (Defective Filmer) got himself a Mohawk. Looks like he lost a bet or something. Simon has been stuck doing trade shows for the past two weeks. First Vegas and then ISPO in Germany. He needs to get back to the snow and is now headed to a remote location in the BC Interior with Wimbles and Shin.

Ilari is busy in Finland with Fredu, Torsti, Joe Sexton and the new StepChild Am Risto Ruokola. There has been a lot of blood, bruises and heavy tricks going down. The temperatures have been hovering around -30. Fredu says it's an advantage cause you don't feel the slams as bad when your frozen-it's the thawing out that hurts. Sexton reports that he has been having the best trip of his life but he misses his boys in the Midwest. Joe eats about 12 chocolate bars per day.
