ha ha,
finnpimp is still around. You lurker, you! :)
Weather has sure been nice. I went snowboarding yesterday. It is funny, because people watch you with your board like you are crazy in the coconut. There is snow only on the slopes 30 minutes away and people just can't believe it. One thing that sucks is the dust storms of our own we have had in the city for the past couple weeks. Not doing too good for my asthma...

yeah that wind there can get you, I remember getting it in the face, but had no idea 30 minutes away I could have snowboarded. I've snowboarded for like 8 years now. Which direction? Turku?

There are several places all around. I went to Talma, in infamous Kerava suburb/satellite not far north of Helsinki. It is a small hill, but great for freestyle.
Lots of kickers and boxes of different sizes. The lifts are fast as hell.

shit yeah, quite small but take what you can get in Finland, it ain't that hilly right? Everything I saw was as flat as the plain in USA. Damn flat. You ever go over to Norway? I hear they have righteous ski conditions. Isn't Terja Haakenson from their or Denmark?

yeah blend, I'm still around, just been a bit busy with school and freelancing.
noticed you got a new nick - been a bit too active in the political threads lately? :)
and remember... the finnpimp is watching.... god, I should change my nick, sounds so.... 90's. :)

anyway, don't think I will be heading back to Helsinki any time soon, the friend that I stayed with in Kaivopuisto lost his contract with Telia FI and moved to Cape Town, South Africa where we originally met. Might be headed there but that's the opposite side of the planet.

Southern part is pretty flat, now isn't it. The ice age wasn't too kind to our mountains. There are some quite big mountains up north in Lappland, but it is like a 12 hour drive . Those lucky norwegians got all the good stuff. Anyway this information may not be much use to you anymore, unless you're planning on participating in some freaky nordic gameshow. :)

yeah, I hear you. It is good to have things going for you, but sometimes it means you have to cut back on NT/YH!/pingstate/etc...I didn't get banned or anything. I just could not get a password reminder, because my old email address don't work no more.
