The Resistenza Prize went to Jesse Kuusi, for his consistent performance as an all round rider, getting along well with everyone and not trying too hard! Congrats! And I know you’ve all been waiting for some pics, so despite the awful weather on the race day, here they are!
Rumble’s over – and still going strong!
So the official Rumble at Ski Tornimäki is over, but we’re still making a hassle with Mikkeli’s nightlife. The contest was tight, as the Rockstar / Dropin Shop ranked the contenders with only percent margins! We saw backflips, 360’s, tailwhips, 180 degree 4 meter transfers, bonks, 3whip attempts, everything! Rockstar’s Moustache-Master, Mr. Ramsay gave away hundreds of Rockstar drinks, and we gave away our latest design in the t-shirt form… So, here you go:
Resistenza Rumble 2010 Top3
1. Henri Heiskanen, Resistenza.FI, Insane Toys team rider
2. Jesse Kuusi, Tampere 03 area
3. Mikko Nieminen, Jyväskylä
The winner would’ve won a Resistenza t-shirt and a complete checkup and maintenance of snowscoot boards at Savon Suksistudio, the number #1 place for getting your wax on… Henkka already had the Resistenza SoSavo 50100 (which will be announced officially in Resistenza Store on monday) and get’s his boards pimped at Suksistudio, so he gave away the grand prize to Jesse!
Resistenza would like to thank Tuomas&Aki from Savon Suksistudio, Juha&Mika from Offshore for the free tryout snowscoots, Keke&Markus and the rest of the crew at Ski Tornimäki, Rockstar Energy Drink, and of course our judges from the Dropin Shop!
Keep your eyes open, we’re going to put up a halfpipe contest soon… Go check today’s gallery!!!

Can you hear the…
Like Metallica said, Nothing Else Happens – we decided to put up a small street session/contest for all you people who are getting bored! It will take place at Ski Tornimäki in Mikkeli, with a nice little street, rails and boxes. There’ll be some music, cameras, and maybe even prizes! We’ll keep you updated on that, as well as on the cost of all this fun – we’re still gathering more information, but the event fee will possibly give you VIP treatment.
