  • The Most Important Project of My Life

    Sep 13, 2017 by antti autti Category: Anttisworld 0 comments

    I’m stressed. Today we’re releasing a teaser for the project that I could not be more stoked about and I’m stressed? I didn’t expect to feel like this.

    My email is full and I’m running behind schedule. Today I should be hyped but all I want to do is run away to the mountains. Why do I sit in front of my computer at home when I could go to New Zealand and ride powder like I’ve done the whole past decade. Fuck this shit! But then I think: Antti, this is what you wanted. You wanted to learn how to be at home. You wanted to learn how to stay still and focus on also other things than just riding. Antti, you can’t run from this.

    Emails keep on coming but I need to take my dog Taku out. I usually take him to a forest and let him roam free but today I keep him on a leash and just take a short walk. I’m not going to waste time since I’m so busy with my computer and shit.  We go outside and Taku takes a leak right away. I’m like, already? We don’t have to go inside just yet. You still have time to sniff around, don’t worry. But do it quickly – we’re still in a hurry!

    Taku starts sniffing trees and some dog shit and then I think we should walk for a bit longer.

    Usually Taku is going so fast that the leash keeps getting freaking tight but today he is super mellow. He’s walking by my side and is generally happy. After a while I realize that I’m also feeling better so I decide we should continue.

    Suddenly I find myself next to the house where I grew up. A lot of memories start popping into mind, mostly about snowboarding with friends when we were kids.

    I keep on going and we see the apartment where my friend Matti grew up. He and I have been friends for a really long time, but I’ve never thought about it as much as today. Suddenly it hits me. We’re releasing something original and Matti is huge part of it. Without Matti and my friends Teemu, Tuukka, Iisakki, Jani, Miikka and Ilmo this project would have never seen the light of day.

    My friends decided to jump in and create a documentary about something that is so hard for me. Not physically but mentally. I can’t figure out any other reason why they wanted to do this project but to support me. Because even if my problem as a person and athlete might not sound huge still at times it feels overwhelming to handle.

    The walk continues and Taku is still acting nice. Memory about cleaning his shit with my woman Ella comes to my mind. Taku had a massive diarrhea last week. I mean the kind of where shit flies to walls! But now that also feels like a distant thing – like it never happened.

    Then I think about Ella. She is the one who has been in the line of fire with this thing for so many times, and yet she is the one with the most support for my actions as well. She knows me better than anyone and has showed me that there are different ways to solve things than just by pushing hard. In the past I used to think that if I’m physically strong then I also become mentally stronger, but in this case I could not have been more wrong. There is no going around that the lifestyle I love so much has also created some issues in my so-called normal life. These issues are somehting you can’t get better by working out.

    Me and Taku are finally coming back to home from a walk. It took me a good hour and a half to clear my mind. Even though I know there’s still so much to do, I let Taku run free in the yard – just for a bit. I freaking hate keeping him on a leash. Taku does not mind, but I do. I let him run free so I would feel better.

    Then I sit in front of my computer and I smile. I write a reminder for myself:

    Arctic Lights is the most important snowboarding project of my life.

    Arctic Lights – Svalbard Expedition

    Nov 21, 2017 by antti autti Category: Anttisworld 1 comment

    Arctic Lights webisode 2 is here and it’s all about exploration in far north.

    Svalbard Expedition

    I always want to extend my season. Mainly because in the spring there is lot opportunities to take my snowboarding forward, especially in mountains. For a long time, I have had a dream to go on a sea voyage to the west coast of Svalbard. Finally, last spring this dream came true.
    Together with fellow pro rider Roope Tonteri, we set the course to travel far up north while making brief stops to ride perfect spring snow in terrain where no one has left tracks before.

    For me, this trip was not only about snowboarding. Before going to Svalbard I heard from
    locals about the constant change of nature in the Arctic and I really wanted to go and see it with my own eyes. I realize that it is impossible to see these changes in one trip but when I combined my own experience with the stories I heard it really made me think about my own actions as a professional snowboarder.

    This expedition in Svalbard was an eye opener & reminder that every move you make can be the step towards the right direction. Its not all about getting to the peak. Its the steps you take towards it.

    Enjoy the mini documentary and let me know what you think about!

     

    Huge thanks to Neste for believing my ideas and giving me a chance to go explore this part of the north.

    In case you’re wondering how to go an trip like this I recommend getting in touch with Arctic Guides. They are the best of the best when it comes to expeditions in Arctic.

    Arctic Lights – Endless Playground

    Nov 08, 2017 by Antti Autti Category: anttisworld 0 commen

    Here we go. Im so happy to finally release first Arctic Lights webisode. This one features two friends riding in their natural environment. Enjoy!

    ENDLESS PLAYGROUND

    A forest covered in snow is an Endless Playground, but it also represents a lot more for me and my riding partner Keisuke Yoshida. Its a place of meditation, home of the spirits, the ultimate playground. Forests are part of our DNA as much as snowboarding.
    Keisuke & I from are opposite sides of the world and from very distant cultures, but we have more in common than you might think first. We are born and bread in our respective northern territories, Im from Lapland and Keisuke from Hokkaido. Both of us have been snowboarding most of our lives and enjoy immensly the thrill of riding in the forest. It is almost like our home, a place where we feel most relaxed, calm and content. This edit is all about opening the doors and sharing our home’s with a like minded soul and shred the trees around Arctic Circle and the wilderness of Hokkaido, Japan.

    To explain a bit more: “For us Finns forest is a place we go to play, explore, meditate, just enjoy the nature. When I’m strapped in to a board forest turns to an endless playground that I can always find new lines to ride, new spots to jump off and it always packs a ton of surprises, so I have to be on my toes the whole time. Its so much fun!”

    Pure snow induced ecstasy.

     

    Hope you liked the first webisode. There is much more to come later this month. In fact Arctic Lights documentary is already in  pre-order from Vimeo on demand. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/arcticlights
