Bike expedition Kilimanjaro

Last year, two Czech bikers decided to do something you just don't see usually. Climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, and ride it down on bicycles. This crazy idea could not have originated in the mind of anyone other than our biker Tomáš "Leader" Zejda. He managed to got his friend Ondra into it, and when there were two of them, they only needed someone to document the whole thing. And Patrik Paulínyi was more than a suitable candidate for that. You can find out how it all turned out in a document that you will only find in this blog so far. Be sure to read an interview in which you will learn a lot of behind-the-scenes info from the whole trip. Enjoy!

Adrian Formella: Shaping is very satisfying for me

Guys who needs to wake up early in the morning, even after the craziest Aprés-ski parties in the resorts. The ones who are always first, but also the last in the snowparks, usually seen with the blue shapetools in their hands. Guardians of the perfect takeoffs and landings. Yeah, we are talking about the shapers. And one of them is our fella, HF family member, photographer/videomaker, Adrian Formella. Germany born, snowparks in Europe raised. Let's have a quick insight into this magical world of shapers with him.
