Nov02New supporters! @ Kuopio
DAMN, I'm a happy to introduce my new supporters to you!
I got on board with Nite Watches and Mons Royale underwear. Nite makes bombproof watches and on top of that, they look really good! Mons Royale is a company from New Zealand, and since they have trillions of sheeps they make the best merino-wool underwear in the business. So from this moment I'm not the guy who is late or the one who smells like two weeks past the best before date!
Sep08IF3 Europe @ Kuopio
It is getting closer!
And by that I mean the International Freeskiing Film Festival! Past year Nipwitz took the trophy of the best webisode in the European edition of IF3 and was nominated for the same prize in Montreal. This time we will personally attend the IF3 in Annecy, France since last time we went to Montreal. It will be a fun trip that's for sure!
Take a look at that, brand new Inspired Finland t-shirt, thanks Tanner and Iberg!
Sep01New Armada website! @ Kuopio
The brand new Armada website is up!
Check out the illest outerwear and skis on the market from armadaskis.com. That's my new profile right there!
Lookbook is loaded with some crazy shots, so take a trip around the world with Armada.
Sep01Nipwitz Four @ Kuopio
The following short movie is about every athlete's dream, the Olympics.
Even now when this sport has been accepted into to the official Olympic program, I sincerely hope people won't forget that skiing is a lot more than just one big event every four years.
Jun22Edit time! @ Kuopio
Even though the summer already is showing its best part (rain and some more cold rain), I wanted to share a video mixture of my shots with you guys. Huge thanks to the main filmer Aarni Toiviainen and all the others for the hard work!
Phew, lately I have been scanning all the magazines from the past season. Looks like I got a nice share of those pages!
Here is a full spread from the biggest finnish skiing magazine Skimbaaja.
Jun01First cover shot! @ Kuopio
Well this was unexpected, I never thought having my first cover on a news paper! But anyway, here is the cover of that broadsheet and also the cover story in finnish here.
May13That's what's up! @ Kuopio
A fine post in the Spatziba website about finnish freeskiing, take a look!
I am a freeskier from Kuopio, Finland. I have been skiing since I was 14 years old and the more I ski, the better it feels. My favourite thing in skiing is being in the air. Let it be big kickers in the park, backcountry jumps with soft landings or nicely groomed halfpipe, I will have fun playing around with them!
Now I really enjoy skiing halfpipe and I want to put more focus on that aspect of my skiing. Learning new stuff is super fun, so let's all go out and ski!
