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!

DC sent a crew of their top riders to Meribel Mottaret last week to shred the shit out of their Area 43 park. Which they dutifully did, and even bagged a few pow sprays while they were at it. We liked it almost as much as the girls in the bar that Lauri Heiskari, Mat Schaer, Piotr Janosz, and the rest were were showing off for. Check it out.

For more about what went down and a gallery of banger snaps, have a look here.

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.

The latest of Ettala, Sorsa and Heiskari’s Cooking with Gas webisodes features the boys slaying more nocturnal urban spots and hitting a hyper sketchy pool gap in Serena. Check it.

After bagging some more Helsinki bangers the snow dries up so the crew head north to Jyväskylä before bouncing on Finland entirely, hopping on a boat and cruising over to Estonia to give the capital city of Tallinn a good seeing to. More hammers than a hardware store…

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.

Check the DC team, including the likes of Torstein Horgmo, Lauri Heiskari, Devun Walsh and a bunch of the Euro dudes, putting the smackdown on DC’s Area 43 setup in Meribel-Mottaret. Booming granny, it’s pretty dope.

For the second year in a row, the DC Area 43 snowpark spends the winter in Méribel-Mottaret, France, in the heart of the 3 Valleys ski area– the largest in the world. A vast playground for beginners to expert skiers and snowboarders, Area 43 has quickly become a notable feature in France and in Europe.

Last year, more than 825,000 people visited to shred the snowpark! Conveniently located at 2,400m altitude and surrounded by about twenty artificial snowmakers, the park benefits from optimal snow conditions. With 1,200m to slide down from the top to the bottom of the park, with quality features ready to be hit all winter long. DC Area 43, with it’s 90 000 m2 of features – 250m of handrails and boxes – over four areas to meet every rider’s needs: a boardercross to enjoy freestyle in a playful way, a beginner/ intermediate zone, an expert zone and a special “DC” area with new and original features, even open during photoshoots or events organized by DC Shoes. But wait there is more! The big new feature is undoubtedly the 22 feet half-pipe with XXL dimensions, ready to host the best freestyle skiers and snowboarders! Objective: making the DC Area 43 a training park of choice for the best riders by offering world-class and top-of-the-range features, to aid them towards the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games. Other new features are also here to brighten up the park.

Check out the original Plattières old gondolas which are recycled and ready to hit, plus all new handrails complete the park offerings for the season. More news, although there is no more mini-ramp to skate at the bottom of the park, it’s now replaced by a small skatepark (private) housed in the former adjacent cable car station. All of this is accessible using the new cable car of Plattières which guarantees access to the park in 9 minutes from the snow front of Mottaret!

To design and shape this amazing park, DC Shoes is surrounded by the crème de la crème of shapers: Benjamin Ravanel – Winter X Games Tignes’ Superpipe shaper, Nicolas Marduel – another great shaper, all working with the great team of Hilltechnics Snowpark Consulting. To get the job done, they have a fleet of impressive machines: two dedicated snow groomers, one mechanical shovel and the superstar of the groomer, the Zaugg Pipe Monster 22’’ recently acquired by the resort. The only machine able to produce the 22 feet famous halfpipe! Finally, the DC chalet, a cozy home, is the landmark of the DC Area 43, hosting DC Shoes team riders throughout the winter, plus media and partners. This year again, Julien Vaury, the ‘DC chalet keeper’ and his super great FORD Transit Custom AREA 43 car will be available for DC’s dear guests keeping them happy for the season.
