Wolves & bunnies

"Summer has filled her veins with light and her heart is washed with noon." - C. Day Lewis

Long time no see. The weather outside is so sunny and warm that I haven't got the time to write about my thoughts lately. Almost a week ago I went to Sillamäe with a group of people from my school. We went there because we are going to have a camp in Otepää in June and we met the lads who are coming with us. Anyway, we had much fun there and I managed to make some new homies.

My group in Sillamäe - "11 hunti" (t. 11 wolves)

The previous weekend was quiet. Enjoyed the weather, played basketball, my friend Kaido bought himself a BMX and he promised to learn some tricks during the upcoming summer.

After the Sillamäe trip I made a new admirable friend. She is really fun to hang with because we could talk about almost anything - from conspiracy theories to Donald Trump vs Kanye West comparison, we even talked about Sims 3 (yes, unfortunately, I'm an ex-sims nolifer). Also, she could talk about astrology for hours, thanks to her I even started to believe in astrology because she predicted pretty much things about me knowing only my Zodiac sign.

Ride 'n' Grind 2K16

"Hopefully, kids realize you can do anything you want. Skateboarding can be that gateway." - Ryan Sheckler

Yeah! Simple Session 16 was overwhelmingly good. On Friday I took the train to Tallinn and went to the job interview for upcoming summer because I need to earn some money to buy my own camera and a car. The interview was in English and I think it went quite well. Next up, I went to Old Town and as I had Mark's camera with me I took some pictures. I reunited with an old friend and later Mark, Kaido and Simon came to Tallinn too.

Birds sing, photographer smiles

On Saturday, the qualification day of the Session began. Watching how people skate and ride made me wanna learn these things too - really thrilling to watch. Sadly, just before the end of the qualification Kyle Baldock fell right onto his head. His ride was great until that crash, he drove the crowd really crazy - no surprise he had the potential to win the Session. Medics took him away and later we were said that thankfully he was okay.

The guy with the glasses in the middle Adrien Bulard was also very skilled

Nose manual grinding at it's finest

Unfortunately none of the Estonians qualified for the Finals. Everything was epic - all the 360's, hardflips, frontflips, even crashes were breathtaking to watch. Even managed to find my favorite skater and BMX rider and take a picture with them.

Kechaud Johnson with his fab pink cap 

Kechaud finished 2nd and I liked him 'cus his jumps went really high. His airtime was cool to watch and pinky cap always shined so everyone could see him.

Favorite BMX rider Courage Adams - the name Courage says it all

Courage's riding style was unique, he is more like a street BMX rider. His nose manual to 360 to manual to bars were really awesome to watch. The crowd loved him and his ultra combos.

Backflip

Furthermore, I made a new friend Hanna and I got the chance to try her longboard - it was awesome! Like my friend Simon often says: "Damn, life is good." There was a challenge with a balance board by PULS Nutrition. You had to stay in balance for 20 sec at least to get 1 protein bar for free, I managed to hold myself on the board for 43 sec - yea. The protein bars were absolutely delicious.

Feeling great

Every day, before we went to sleep we played some cards and ate at McDonalds, sadly, every evening. Fun weekend, can't describe it!

Absolutely not bluffing

Ride 'n' grind, bi***es

VWZ1Z1 ALPHA

"My philosophy is: If you can't have fun, there's no sense in doing it." - Paul Walker

This year has been amazing so far. More and more friends are getting 18 and most of them already have a driver's license. The most recent "wild" birthday party I attended and wrote about in the blog was Karlis'. On the picture above you can see his first car too, ofc we already have "tested" the car fully. The car's radio is broken or smth and we tried to fix this too but right now Karlis has to accept that his only music while driving will be his car sound. I just can't wait till I get my driver's license..


Also, I had a doctor's appointment in Tartu and after that went to see my sister too. Just had a coffee and a small chat with her.
On Wednesday I had a nice grilling evening again with my friends. We just can't wait till it's summer again..
But yeahh!!! What about this weekend?? Tomorrow I'm going to Tallinn and staying there until Monday. SIMPLE SESSION! See ya there!
