His first board with Jumalauta was by default the Saippuakauppias, being a twin it was an obvious choice for anyone who rides park and streets for the majority of their season. Rails are tough as nails though, and shit happens, so he brought his workhorse in for repairs. That he could continue riding he was handed the directional Aaveajaja, also just to give an opinion (by that time) of the new shape and board we just launched.
The phone rang at Jumalauta hq late that evening, seeing that the caller was Neko Loco cold sweat ran down my back preparing for some bad news… In Finland it is coded in our dna that news are bad by default. No, this was not the case this time. If there is a call that comes with caps lock on, this was it. It was love at fist ride. “Felt like I got one second more air time!” was one phrase among many.

Here, for anyone who don´t know the Talma resort, is some intel why that phrase is so meaningful to us; -Talma is tiny. the run down and up again takes only about 3 minutes, this includes the lift up excluding any queues. There are a lot of variation you can do there but lets stick to the jump line. There´s three L size lips in a row and basically built like to hit ém all it´s all about straight lining it from the top. It´s also Jannes local resort so he knows the jumps even in his dreams after maxing them out for years with numerous different boards. So for him to get the sensation of actually being in the air, on those jumps, for a second longer was huge! He rocked the Aaveajaja the whole winter through from there on doing mellow park, streets to Xl hits. He even made world history happen by getting 1st podium in the local halfpipe contest. Never in this time had a winning pipe comp run (anywhere) been ridden with a board handmade in Finland!
Neko Loco (the crazy cat), is no longer the youngest tomcat on the slopes and having his eye set on a more of an all rounded, ATV style of riding the Aavejaja shape was a no brainer for his weapon of choice. Janne rides a 158 wide, but you can get the board with his graphics in other sizes too.
