Moose shop rider Charlie Gush is on a mad one flying about down the mountain side!

Connecting the dots in Laax, Switzerland. That’s the place where the stories you heard about Team Trouble come from. That’s where a brand new bowl in a bunker awaits the next edition of this transition lovers favourite (March 27-29 to be precise). And that’s where family and friends also find a bit to skate in summer – when the mountain lays bare and the snowparks remain unused.
First we found a rotting old playground element in the shape of a quarter at the bottom of the hill and rendered it skateable. And after setting up a ridiculously long rainbow up on the hill, we also discovered the same style of ninja-park quarter up at 2300m. It was just a tiny bit bigger, with a bit of over-vert. Nothing a solid crew of DIY-experienced skaters and a monster forklift couldn’t handle.
Thanks Kid, Ramon, RJ, Charlie, Max, Jan, Tim, Joos, Oli, Mathias, Felix, Anouk, Noam, Stefan, Vans and Laax for the support. We have to extend those summer projects next year!
