The second season of Ettala, Sorsa and Heiskari’s internet bromance wraps up with some end-of-season bangers in Finland. Check it…

For the last CWG of this season, Eero, Heikki and Lauri hit some kickers and jibs in Ukkohalla before dropping in on the mother of all snowboard ‘contests’ – Wappulounas.

Make sure you check the previous episodes here.

The CWG crew struggle with the weather but still manage to have some epic shred days in France and Finland. Plus there’s some next-level minishredding from Eero…

In this 5th episode of Cooking with Gas, the Finnish triumvirate of awesome get stalked by the greybird in France and at a junkyard jib session back home, before finally scoring bluebird in Talma. Good old Talma.

Make sure you watch all the previous episodes of Cooking with Gas from this season for some more tight shredding from these boys.

After having their plans to shoot backcountry in Cooke City shut down by bad conditions, Eero, Heikki, Lauri and homie Aaron Biittner hit the highway to shred a selection of epic US parks. Cue some of the funnest shredding you’ll see for a while…

The Finnish trio Eero Ettala, Heikki Sorsa, and Lauri Heiskari meet up with Aaron Biittner and go on a good ol’ American road trip. After getting skunked in the Montana Backcountry, they head to the resorts sessioning the parks at Bear Mountain, Northstar, and Park City. Enjoy!

After a couple of episodes jibbing like bosses in the Scandic night, Eero Ettala, Heikki Sorsa and Lauri Heiskari  step out of the darkness and into the light, tit deep pow of Japan. This is a rad edit.

This is what Eero was up to yesterday. Pic by: @raibishkeletor.

The first episode of Cooking With Gas 2013  dropped a short while back and was a masterclass in nocturnal urban jibbing. But before you watch this gem again, we caught up with the man, the myth, the legend that is Mr Eero Ettala to ask him about this season 2 of this web series centred on himself, Heikki Sorsa and Lauri Heiskari… 

The first episode was, like last year, pretty street heavy in Helsinki, but also pretty mouth watering too. What’s is the next one all about and when is it out?

Yeah man, it ended up snowing a ton in Helsinki, so filming the first episode was pretty convenient for us. But for the 2nd webisode we were forced to drive out of town to find the snow, so we ended up going to Jyväskylä and Kuopio in Finland and then taking the boat over to Tallinn, Estonia. And I feel like that worked pretty good, since we ended up hitting only new spots and got some new inspiration along the way. The next webisode is coming out on the Onboard site next Wednesday!

How many episode are you aiming at for season two?

We are going to make 6 action packed webisodes again this season, but also behind the scenes webisodes out of each action webisode with Red Bull. So basically 12 in total, plus full parts in the end and maybe slam sections, haha.

Are you going to shoot in the Alps this season? What are your plans for the coming weeks?

We are in the USA right now, filming for our 4th webisode for 3 weeks and after this trip we are planning on going to France, actually in Meribel, for some radical park shredding!

Lauri is gonna be shooting with you all season this time, what does it change now the crew’s more of a trio?

He was already shooting with us a bit last season and felt like a natural pick to bring along for the whole season – me and Heikki really enjoy riding and filming with him. But of course also having the 3rd rider around all the time makes the crew more productive and we are getting more shots than last year.

We saw the ‘Kill Bill’ reference in Episode One… But who the hell is Black Mamba?

Hahaha, calling the first webisode Black Mamba didn’t really make any sense… But this season we figured that we would give each webisode a name. A hashtag name, that people could go on Instagram and type #blackmamba and see photos from the film shoot of the first webisode. The second webisode is going to be called Fart Margarita – #fartmargarita – so you get the idea, that these names don’t really mean anything. And the 3rd one is #makebananacry.

Last year you said in 2013 you might be boiling with oil. Is it not disappointing to see you’re still cooking with gas? Or did you just change your mind?

Hahaha, yeah we figured that cooking with gas was working pretty good, so why change it? But we are always keeping our options open for next season…Be might be cooking with something else than gas, you never know. We are going one year at the time and seeing if kids are stoked on what we are doing.

This season, who’s the ‘Sahara’ person?

It seems like the Sahara person is always the main filmer, so this year it is Mikael Ahtikari. He is definitely the guy on the crew that is picked on the most!

What’s the best story from the sessions so far this season?

Loads of stories, but I think this is a funny one. You know when you are in your full snowboarding kit and fart on the hill and the smell comes out of your jacket straight to your own nose? We started calling that El Klassiko, so that’s why the 4th webisode is going to be called #elklassiko. Loads of El Klassikos have gone down this season!

If you haven’t done it yet, sit down and fix your eyes on the First Ep of Cooking With Gas Season 2: 

The first episode of the new season of Cooking with Gas is LIVE and sees Eero Ettala, Heikki Sorsa and Lauri Heiskari put the smackdown on an array of heavy Helsinki street spots. Watch it NOW!

Eero Ettala and Heikki Sorsa drop in for another season of banger laced Cooking with Gas webisodes. The first episode drops here tomorrow arvo, so to whet your whistle we’ve knocked together this teaser. Tasty.

Heikki’s edit from the footage snagged shooting for Cooking with Gas was the second most popular full part of 2012. Watch it and you’ll see why.

In an effort to look like we’re working while we’re actually hitting the hill, stuffing our gullets and drinking brandy, we’ve taken the liberty to look at whose full parts had the most hype about them on our site this year. Only parts that were released in the period between Jan 1 2012 and right now were considered, and we narrowed it down by looking at whose had the most views on the Onboard site. Heikki and his long time homie Eero Ettala joined forces last winter to produce Cooking with Gas, and his part even outshone Ettala’s in the hype stakes, which is no mean feat. Booming.

So whose part was the most popular of 2012? You’ll have to survive tonight to find out – have a good un this evening and we’ll see you in 2013!

Even two blown ACLs can’t stop Heikki nailing a proper humdinger of a full part. Watch it now. 

Hot on the heels of his Cooking With Gas cohort Eero Ettala whose full part dropped last week, Heikki Sorsa‘s just dropped his full banger part and it’s a stormer. Even though Heikki’s season was curtailed by a double ACL injury (that you’ll see towards the end – oof!) he still locked down a host of bangers, and even managed to occupy himself with other enjoyable endeavors in his time rehabbing, as you’ll see at the end.

When you’re done with this, make sure you’ve checked all the Cooking With Gas episodes that dropped over the past few months. They’re pretty frickin’ sick.

Last season saw its fair share of firsts, doubles and triples aside, and a few of them are featured in this first regular issue of the season. Your trusted news agent has it in store for you now!

Kalle Ohlson Interview

Kalle seems to have been around for ever, yet he’s still only 24. Off the back of a couple of heavy seasons we catch up with this well-rounded ripper to talk about being one of the Pirates’ UNIQUE8, the Swedish scene, dabbling at event organising, and his approach to riding.

Onboard Send-Off Session

At the end of last winter, we gathered together some of Europe’s most talented riders for a season send off of epic proportions. Kitzsteinhorn crafted us some stellar hits for the crew to throw down on and we even scored a powder day…

Cooking with Gas

For the first time in a long while, brothers of other mothers Eero Ettala and Heikki Sorsa got to ride and film together last winter for their joint project, Cooking with Gas. With no bangers spared, each episode was full movie quality and we catch up with the Finnish duo to go behind the scenes…

Nike Chosen Sessions

“Sat on the charlift, I craned my neck and swore. Back over my shoulder the first features were emerging from behind a large bank of snow. ‘Would you look at the size of that thing!’ I spluttered, craning to get a better look at a 200ft long Swoosh. As the rest of the setup revealed itself it became clear that the Nike guys hadn’t been hyping when they’d told us they would be building ‘something special’ for the Nike Chosen Sessions.”
