Our last seasons snowboarding and newschool edit! Go watch it in HD on Vimeo!

Edit was quick and filming was just having fun with friends, not anything professional. But there's lot's of good stuff in it!

Raise up the dead

One morning I woke up with something that I had missed. Felt awesome to have an inspiration that high with camera again and just play around with it a little. I hope that on 2014 I won't end up whining about my lost inspiration or how lazy I am with photos...

These four first ones are from that morning. And my new car (which ain't so new...) on first one. Feels good to no longer be addicted to mum's car or public transport.

Oh and btw I'm 20-years-old now. No reasons to get older any more.

Fireballing beerbacon

I had a vacation from 20th december to 5th of january. Damn it felt good to forget what day it was etc. But now I'm back in army and fuckfuckfuckfuck and so on...

Thanks Emmi! Was a good gig. And fireball might be my favourite alcohol especially when it comes to gigs haha.

Cooking bacon and drinking beer. What could be manlier? Also my new tattoo visible! I'll take better pics of it when it's completely ready and healed if I can wait for so long...

What if I'm too lazy for making excuses

I'm allways complaining for being so lazy and having no time with camera and blogshit, and I'm still. My army is now on it's halfway. It's gone fast when I think half a year backwards but feels like eternity when I think of the next six months...

No idea of who took this but these kind of pictures keep on appearing to my memory card. Pretty fun.

We are moving soon and the emptiness here creeps me out. This used to be my room.

A week from now and this image should be inked on my arm, or at least the most of it.
Can't wait.

Dirty skatepunk

I thought I'd post only maybe one of these and maybe later someday but then again why not now and all... This was first time in years when I was skateboarding at Kontula and it was coolasfuck, also learnt few new tricks! Sucks that there are no bmx times on weekends but skateboarding is a good way to replace it for now.

Thx to June for pics, again on next saturday!

fuckfuckfuckfuck

Fucking army. Every god damn weekend goes fast as fuck and I don't have the time I'd like to have. These are almost old before I had time to post 'em... I would also have few more pics but I don't have time to edit them because soon I have to go back, maybe on next weekend...
