A season-long T/R- Espace Killy
See my previous T/R's for some earlier season EK stoke. As feared, the illness that had consigned our camera to the doctor's surgery has proved to be terminal but I have managed to dig out a few more shots from this season as well as a selection of the season's best from my buddies.
*Disclaimer* -some of these photos were not taken by me! Not sure if it's against TGR protocol to post pals' pics but I figure it's all stoke so what the hell...
As many of you are aware, March and April have been ridiculous here in Yurp and hopefully these pics reflect that. Given the recent few seasons I had begun to become a little disillusioned with life in the alps and Val d'Isere in particular. This season has restored the faith and levels of stoke have never been higher in these parts! This is why...
Look closely...
Same line, setting up...
Dawes (non-mag) sends it
Slidin sideways and deep!
2 planks work too
There's too much panic in this town
Dans la suite blanche
Prime Mickey's
Lookin back up
Huck and tuck baby!
Less textbook arial form
One of the lines of the season
This didn't suck either
And finally a couple of shots to keep it real:
unknown
known; lucky
And thus concludes the stoke from the best season I've ever had. Many thanks to everyone I had the privilege of sharing it with, both old friends and new. It's been emotional...
Now I must knuckle down and get some much needed £££ in the bank back home. Can't wait for my 2-month Indo surf trip August/September. Hopefully we get the goods and T/R to match!
Cheers

sick shots
I can't believe you are a rando racer because I look so much better in Lycra than you.

niice.
i know im a pussy, but the rock itself is at least 30+ in my book.
i'd say the huck is some 50-60 or a coloradian 80 in feet.
but since it is in europe id say a solid 10m+ rock and 15m+ huck.
and are you sure it is the same cliff as in the far away pics?It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

NOT a problem in my book. I enjoy seeing the mountains of a foreign land. I hope I get to ski them some day soon. Originally Posted by Misty_Fly

Here's a dumb questions.
Espace Killy - is it an actual resort, or the name for the area where Val d'Isère and Tignes reside.
Kinda like LCC and BCC.
P.S. nice shots.Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.
