Article in AD Reiswereld

Last week featured a very cool article on freestyle snowboarding in the Dutch newspaper AD, with comments from boarders, editors, trainers and… me! It’s in Dutch so most people probably can’t read it but all photo’s (except my portrait which was done by Edo) are mine, the piece was very well written (as allways) by Hans Avontuur, one of my favorite (travel) writers in Holland.

Dolf van der Wal takes Burton Half-Pipe Invitational in Åre, Sweden. [update]

Flatlander Dolf van der Wal ended his season with a well-deserved first place at the Burton Half-Pipe Invitational in Åre, Sweden. Great solid run that finished off a grey and miserable day on the slopes.

Pity the whole week of shooting didn’t give us more than just one morning of nice weather. As to be expected: we left a day after the contest under bright blue-skies!

Check out the fall edition of Snowboard Magazine for the full report of our week with the Dutch Snowboard selection. A lof of different pictures for a change!

UPDATE: Check out a full video of the event (and the shitty weather on the final day) over here. Swedish-language alert!
