Title: Match Made In HEL - Want to skate at Helsinki Airport with Arto Saari?
Post by: metsuri on September 11, 2014, 02:12:16 AM
Win a contest to get flown to Helsinki to skate the airport with Arto and the Flip guys. I don't know, skating at the airport sounds fun.

Very nice idea, but if I won such a contest (not that I would come remotely close to winning in any way) and be flown out there I'd be a little bummed to stay just for two days at the airport. Skating this airport is probably a lot of fun, but if you are there already... They should make the winner stay and skate Helsinki for a couple of days too.

Fuck yeah. Arto is the shit!

I travel through Helsinki-Vantaa every few months. There are so many perfect spots there (inside and outside) that are just begging to be skated. I can't wait to see the the footage of this dream session!

Kiitos Arto. Loistava idea!

Was that a Flip graphic that didn't look like total garbage? 

Holy crap, it was.

as a photographer, volcom is merely a customer. a good way to secure a career in skateboarding after being a PRO ... a lot better than being a sales rep

I know this was absolutely scripted but that opening line about wanting to skate places you're not supposed to had me cringing.

Big Fat YES to that.

Also, "... and a few of the world's best skateboarders..." = Flip Jr. Does not compute.

Okay.  I did a search and got nothing.  I'm just going to guess it's Bod Boyle.

A few clips and photos of the Match Made In Hel. event. Fuck it's gonna piss me off so much having to look at these spots every couple of months when I travel abroad for meetings. There's nothing worse than looking at a perfect spot that you'll never get to skate!

I would've liked to have seen footage of Arto skating, but no luck. Great to see some of his photos though. He's got a great eye. I hope the guys got to skate the city too. We got some great spots here plus a pretty good skatepark in a Coldwar bomb shelter if the weather is shit (which it is in October).
