Passion and love for the snow. Those are the words I would like to start this blog with. Guys, who organised and made this event possible definitely do it with passion and love for the sports, snowboarding and free skiing.

Summer Best Trick Jam Session took place as always in ski centrum Karolínka (eastern part of Czech republic) during Saturday, 5th of October 2013. It was (at least) the third time in a row this event was organised.
A lot of my friends from Czech and Slovakia came there. Traditional set-up with rails contained of the two rails, one street rail and one so called donkey-dick. When we arrived, guys were just distributing the snow to the set-up. Than riders slowly started tried to do their first tricks. The schedule was obvious - training, reshaping, snb training, snb final, reshaping, ski training, ski finals, results. Music was on, sun was shining... So we hit the rails!

Split in the two heats, riders were landing more and more difficult tricks.
I don't know much about snowboard tricks. In freeski part we could see some nice stylish slides, 27 in, switch-ups, 27out, and various combinations. My bro Richie and Igor Janckulík did a great job with 45 out or 360switch-up or transfers.
Later in the evening results were announced. From each category there was a winner:
SKI MEN: Richie Jurečka
SKI WOMEN: me :)
SNB MEN: Matej Dolník
SNB WOMEN: Maťa Molnárová
I enjoyed triding a lot. It showed me I still need to practise a higher
rails, but I was still able to have fun. Chose and Pavlík put a lot of effort
in the jam and everybody could feel it. I am looking forward for a
winter-season in Karolínka, where every day is well-shaped snowpark and nice
people.
Cya there! :)
