 Rider:  Lauri Heiskari

"This shot of Lauri made its way onto my memory card last winter, during the DC Shred Days industry hook up in Les Houches, France, where DC played host at the notorious Area 43 park. Despite probably one of the worst snow years in the history of this freeride mecca of Europe, the park team had done an amazing job at building and maintaining a sick park. The shot is from the show time feature, which is a big gap kicker complete with mini ramp underneath. During this night session, DC was banging out the tunes and crates of free booze while everyone watched the Global and European team throw down. This is Lauri He's Scary doing some sort of spinny maneuver over the mini."
