South of Berlin Part one of the Deeluxe/Capita Euro trip 2010

“Bonjour Sebi! Dude it would be megageil if you could write something about your last three weeks with TJ for the blog?!?” I don’t exactly remember what Mateo said, but the request sounded kind of like that. Usually I like to write down letters about my “snowboarding life” adventures and may find the right words for that. But right now, nothing would flow in and I don’t really know where to start. It's almost the end of the trip and Im still stoked by all the impressions and spots you can discover within 24 days…. Or maybe let’s just begin with the arrival in Berlin. Man it’s always nice to see friends again! Friends you haven’t seen for a while or in this case a long time. Specially when your mission together is: travelling from Germany’s capital all the way down to the Alps, filming with TJ and Tyler (Morten) for theSnowboardrealms and take pictures with Capita`s photo OG Joel Fraser. Damn this is going to be awesome!

Straight to the Shredniks Shredfest in Ninive. You know it, the East German backyard spot in the middle of nowhere. This place is always worth a visit if you are looking for a fun bbq/shred sesh with the homeboys. And also a really good way to get rid of the jetlag, caused by almost a day of travel torture. Thanks to Marcel Dextor and crew, you rule!

After that we headed a bit west direction to Zwickau and Chemnitz (former Karl-Marx-Town) searched for handrails and other urban obstacles of mystic illusion. For this, there is no need of any description in this text. F.Y.I. Just watch all theSnowboardrealms.com episodes below in this blog. All I can say about it is that I have seen purple for fifteen minutes after body folding the double kink in episode 13. You know, I haven’t and never will take LSD, but I guess the vision I had after this bail must be close to that. Fuck. Lucky me I didn’t had to go to the hospital and there wasn’t blood neither in my pee, nor in the poo. I was out for 3-4 days and could continue the trip.

I was out for 3-4 days and could continue the trip. TJ and Peat ripped. We had radical runs on the slopes of Oberwiesenthal and shredded an abandoned bobsled track. Man, after all these rails it was fun to ride the t-bar and do some random lines.

We stayed for one more week in the Erzgebirge at my Grandparents farm and had a blast. Spots for days, culture, family, a mine, good&evil, schnapps, fire, guitars and whatnot.

We have been lucky that whole Germany was well covered with snow this season. We even could have gone to Hamburg harbour and grind the sh*t out of some ships, but our next mission was to go where the big mountains are, the ALPS… Voll kraaass Alter!
