With the Greener Pastures filming section in Switzerland coming to a close, we were all ready to get to Kozakov and join the party. Oh yes, and practice the course with the best racers in the world, especially now that we had become comfortable with the European style road construction in a group dynamic.

There is nothing like a phenomenal landscape view that takes your breath away for kilometres on end while riding a mountain pass at +80km/hr. When you catch yourself standing up, jaw dropped gawking at the view of where you are, the tension is removed, spirits are elevated, and a privileged smile raises.

Aaron Grulich was in town for just about an hour and Jay comes by Sk8Trip on a quick mission to try a DH set-up. Jay usually gets InvertZ and subLIME wheels, but this time he had his eyes on going downhill. Aaron stepped up and quickly assembled him a Vulcan with 70mm Classic ZigZags in 81a. They exchanged numbers and made some plans for hitting up GMR. Jay is 100% Skateboarder and he offered to take Aaron to Etnies in exchange for Aaron going to GMR. Sounds like a dream come true ... downhilling with Jay Adams!
