Welcome to Part 2 of the T9 crew goes to Spain post…
After having a sick time in Spain we packed up the van and headed to Andorra. For anyone who has not heard of Andorra it’s a small country that sits between Spain and France. Andorra is situated in the eastern Pyrenees Mountains and is the 6th smallest country in Europe.
We arrived at the hotel super late and we were all stoked to see this flyer hanging in the lobby.
The next day after shooting we stopped by a snowboard shop in El Tarter called Loaded. If you ever make it up to Andorra make sure you stop by. These guys are super cool and the store is sick. Much props to Peter and Sam. Loaded is dope.
Gooner found this big old bottle of whisky in the shop and had to crack it.
Peter and Sam pulled out an old Technine Split T Classic and had the crew sign it up.
Jose enjoying a cold San Miguel.
Jose hooked us up with a local rider named Merlin who’s family owned one of the hotels in town. Besides riding the sick mountains of Andorra Merlin runs a club attached to the hotel called Nemo. The hotel pool has a window so you can see the pool from the bar.
Yan and Jake Chilling at Nemo’s
The next morning we got up early to hit a sweet 23 stair down bar. This Bull dog came out and hung with us for most of the session. Peep the new Technine Rhyme board and bindings in the back ground.
Next we went to this cool ally way rail to drop that Jake had set up. Every time we would get a session going a large crowd would form to watch. This crowd would not even move for traffic it was nuts.

Next it was off to check out a cool local shop called Sector 3.
Sector 3 was jam packed with customers but we did get the crew out of the shop for a second to take this group shot.
Jose kept telling us that we could use his snowmobile anytime, this is him sitting on it. You can just make out the ski in the bottom right corner of that ice chunk. This sled is not going anywhere.
The next night after a sick day of shooting it was time for our Video Premiere in Nemo’s. Here’s Gooner getting hyped on shots of Monster.
Loaded crew!
Merlin popped a bottle to get the party started right.
The Crew.
After the movie played T.K. got on the mic and killed it. Thats Chino on the turn tables. Chino is a sick local D.J. and rider. He also threw up a sick “Hard to Earn” burner for us on one of our jibs in Town. Thanks for everything Chino!
Gooner getting stoked on T.K.
Yan having a good time.
Merlin tossed out a complete Technine girls set up to an eager crowd.

The next day it was back to work and of course a visit from the Po Po. Apparently the residents of this high end condo complex were not to stoked on our Pole Jam.
Gooner in the streets of Pas De La Casa. Check out the new Gooner Yucky Charms board and bindings.
Peep the scrub hooks on his bindings. Some new sh!t coming this fall.

Special thanks to Jose, Dani, Guille, Chino and Merlin. Jose and his crew set everything up for us and and without them this trip would never have happened. Look for the story in Snowboarder Magazine as well as the new movie “Hard To Earn” coming out this fall. Some sick action went down so be sure not to miss it.
