2. Luc.
3. The Kremlin, being totally bowled over by a load of history and boring shit.
4. Luc.
5. Russian Hospitality, Russian Food (yes we ate like kings), Russian Vodka (Neat, frozen and SOOOOOO silky smooth).
6. Luc.
7. Minus 15degrees in the snow, getting lost, Bry's unhappy face.
8. Luc.
9. Skate Park one, missing the entire first day of the comp because of hangover, having Borsche, too much noise.
10. Luc.

12. Luc Luc Luc.
13. Froggies in Silly Hats.
