Our journey took the Squad out of Berlin headed south into Austria. The Dachstein Glacier! We rolled the ECU into town at 5AM, jumped on a trampoline, harassed some farm animals and crashed out for a few hours before heading to the hill. Eero Niemela, The Dingo, Dustin Craven, Tom Ryen, Louie Vito, Rip Zinger and crew boarded the crazy Tram that went straight vertical. So many Poma lifts. Tired arms but some serious stuff went down. Dingo threw a 7, Tom Tom almost killed rip on the knuckle, then the rain set in. People were partying their Austrian faces off at the base of the Mtn. Feeling right at home amidst the Lederhosen and Biers. After being pushed from the Austrian Alps due to lightning and heavy assualts from the Traditionals in Lederhosen we we off to battle our next glacier in the Northern Region of Italy. A small town with a big Mtn. known at Val Senales. When we arrived we were so tired and beat down that "The Shining" style resort full of awesome amenities and delicious rations was the perfect change of pace from the blown out OCMT (Overloaded Camper Mover Transport, also known as the ECU, European Command Unit). Tom Tom went straight to work at the skatepark in town while myself, Eric Messier, Eero, and Jordan did an autograph signing for some locals (Cows). We got threatened by the Cows handler with a giant walking stick and someone got shoved. He was lucky this European Vacation was meant as a peace mission. The Bonersquad hit up a BBQ held in our honor by the local talent. DJ Messy Dick also known as Eric Messier blew those Euro minds apart with mixes until a raging lightning storm forced us inside. The next morning we were up early and ready to take on the 20 meter jump (100+ footer). We went up the glacier with a team of elite Italian soldiers and Sargent Eero was not afraid to lead the Squadron into shred park battle!!!! Private Craven, Vito and Ryen, and Myself were right behind to shut down the gentlemens camp. After destroying a quaint Italian Village and it's looming Mtn. we were on the road again and off to our final front. Switzerland.

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

The 18-year-old stomped it off a massive kicker in Europe.

While many of us were sulking because the season is practically over, Norwegian shredder, Stale Sandbech was busy stomping a brand new trick. A video of the 18-year-old hitting a massive kicker in Europe just surfaced, and in it, Sandbech stomps a triple underflip 1260. Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
