Uludag to Kartalkaya

Here are some photos from our trip so far. We arrived in Istanbul, spent a few days in Uludag and then a few hours in Kartalkaya... More words to follow.

Istanbul is a seemingly endless city. We spent quite a few hours exploring the nooks and crannies of a pretty popular area called Taksim. The density and age of the city is so different than other places, its hard to explain.

Our team is constantly striving for the perfect hand-plant. A lot of them went down on this snowbank. It was the first thing we shredded in Turkey.
We got pretty busy our first night in Uludag: Ramtime baggin the first drop of the trip.

This guy had never seen this kind of weapon so i demonstrated its power for him.

Home... for a little bit.

Doin that snowboardin thing.

BRT went huge on this deck drop/gap over stairset. The hotel manager proceded to yell a whole bunch of Turkish words out the window at us. I will translate what he said since im so good at Turkish now: ``You doomslashlove boys are amazing! Im so glad you are snowboarding on my deck! I love your website and will have a bronze statue of this jump permanently placed on the deck along with a plaque with your guys names on it! ``

Ramharter J showin the locals whos boss.

So this is what it feels like to be winners!

All obstacles were ripped.

If you go to turkey and can find this sticker, take a pic of you next to it and I will buy you 7 icecream cones!

Air. Its where I like to hang out.

Late night slashin.

We snaked a T-bar and caught sunset from the top of Uludag.

Reppin an rollin.

I tested the high speed stability of the minibus. Im not sure how many miles we covered but it was a roadtrip to say the least.

Warp speed.

Ram layin it down at Kartalkaya.

Ram always kills.
