It has been a long time since my last post, but in last two months i had so many things to do in school and i couldn't find any time to write. So, if i return to the last part of the season, i thought that Label rail contest will be the last competition for me this season, but a few days later i got an email and i was invited on Qparks finals at Dachstein. With a huge help of many slovenian coaches, i managed to qualified to the finals as 5th, but due to painful knee i decided to do sw cork 5 instead sw 9 so, i ended up on 6th place and even if i went just on two qparks competitions, i ended up 8th in overall ranking for qparks tour.

One week later our season ticket was still valid, so we decided to do one last trip to the Dachstein before summer. On saturday i stayed in the valley for some time, cause i didn't felt very well. Later i decided to build a quarter jump, but unfortunately i didn't had any options to get enough speed for it, cause it was mega slushy and my skis were pretty slow. After an hour of building a quarter and hiking for speed, i felt better, so i went up on the glacier and had a great afternoon spring shred. On sunday and monday we unfortunately didn't had speed for kickers, so we filmed some things on rails and had tons of fun.

Monday was also my last day of the season, it feels like this season was the shortest ever, but it was the longest i've ever had. I was skiing for app. 100 days from november to april. However, if i look back and compare it to other seasons this one was the best so far. Till the start of season i didn't have a sponsor for skis, so i started finding one very late, but i was lucky, i got a deal with Elan skis and this hyped me for riding even more. At the begining of the January me and Žiga released the first webisode of Spaced Out and we got great feed back and we knew that we are on the right way. We improved our riding, filming and editing skills, so every webisode was better and at the end of season many people told me, that we just have to keep doing this, cause they see that we are doing this cause we really love doing it and we enjoy every single second which is showed in webisodes. Competitions this season went great for me instead of world junior champs but okay. I won some slovenian events and i ended up on second place at Freestyle Cele rail jam. At qparks competitions i ended up 5th, 6th and overall on 8th place. At european cups i was 9th, 10th, 11th, 15th and 15th overall. At the end is usually the most important thing and for me this isn't riding, but all the experiences i got this season and it was really a lot of them. As you can see, for me this season was great, there were some bad moments, but only the good ones count.
