When asked what’s your career highlight so far, Luka said “being the first kid to wear tight pants in Slovenia (now everybody do it haha).” That’s why we love Luka. Apart from the tight pant thing, Luka is just 19 years old and already getting coverage in top Euro mags, on the Forum Young Blood team and managing to Podium at a bunch of Euro competitions. This Slovenian ripper is the one to watch out for!

AKA: yugo

DOB: 6.4.1991

Born: Slovenj Gradec, SLO

Resides: Braslovče, SLO

Hobbies: motocross, traveling

Favourite Quote: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

It’s not easy being a Slovenian snowboarder trying to break out onto the Euro scene. But if you shred hard, have good style and are generally an all round awesome kid, then someone is bound to take notice. That’s exactly why Luka is on the European Dragon team.

Luka will be travelling the globe from comp to comp, filming, shooting with photographers and getting a few more tricks in the bag. So keep your eye out for this 19 year old Yugo in 2011/12.

Mountainwatch catches up with Charles Beckinsale in Whistler, CanadaRead more...
Park builder extraordinaire and Dragon team rider caught up with the Mountainwatch crew recently to have a chat about the season so far and his latest edit, When In Whistler. Have a read:When in Whistler episode 1 features the park you build, what are your favourite parts of the park and where should we look out for them in the vid?I build the park on Whistler with three others so it's not all me. I tend to work on the medium and large jumps mostly and I do a few rail sets before and after the jumps so I can hit the features I'm into in a long line. To be honest, I like the overall main line t... [ more ]
