SARKA TAKES THE TTR LEAD AFTER PLEASURE JAM...

What a weekend for FLOW!! Sarka Pancochova takes for the first time ever the lead in the TTR women's ranking with a 4th place at the Pleasure Jam.
That is also the first time for FLOW that a female team rider makes it to the top spot.

Only two years ago, she wouldn’t even have thought that this would be possible. „I hope I can manage to stay there [in World No.1] for longer. I will try to kill it at the European Open.” says Sarka after the event. „I can do that. I have the tricks but sometimes it is just the wrong time or I choose the wrong trick.“

The entire Flow Team congratulates Sarka for adding another success to her young career and we are happy to have you on the team!

The nearest mountains are about a thousand kilometers away from where I live; a hundred meters under the sealevel. Ever since I graduated high school I am free to travel to the mountains as much as I want, enjoying my life and trying to make the most of it, with big support from my sponsors Roxy and Flow. I love being out there in the mountains with friends, forgetting about everything. In the meanwhile I’m still doing a lot of skateboarding.

As Indian summer ascends on “Middle America” the stoke is the only thing that is still growing. The Flow crew showed up at the “"Aspen in Wonderland" at Antrim Park in Columbus.” (presented by Aspen Ski and Board and Capitol Park of Mad River Mountain) to find that this epic yearly event was gonna get down and dirty. (Below random Ohio shred gangster gets a little downtown brown on his XXXL jerz.)

(Below Middle America Flow riders Dru Williams and Kevin Sayler take over the wall right before the sun goes down on Columbus)



(Below New Middle America rider Jen Cusick gets the hook up on a pair of Essence bindings and has a new BFF on the way. I’ve been watching Jen shred for a year or two now at almost every Mid West snowboard event,team43 and I are stoked she will be riding Flow product this season)

The next morning bright and squirrelly (hundreds of miles from Columbus) and after a late night of shoveling Zamboni shavings. Middle America Tech-Rep/Rider Dru and his homie Kal “The Skier” set’s up another jib session for open house at Paoli Peaks Indiana(my home mountain). Inside, at Paoli's Pro Shop, me and Flow guy helper bro "J-Pry" aka "J$" are selling through a stack of Flow boards and last years bindings with the Burton guy and Roger "the man in the shorts" the legendary owner of the pro shop.
