Shooting Days with Legs Of Steel

2011-05-07T14:00:00.000+02:00

The last few days I had been at the Kaunertal with the boys of Legs Of Steel (www.legsofsteel.eu) to join them at their last shooting for their upcoming movie, releasing in autumn this year. Additional me and Christoph Schöch were joined by the BR television team, who were filming for a documentation of our shooting days for a tv show, which will show me, as the winner of the on3 photo challenge, joining Christoph at his everyday work.
Due to bad weather all we did the first few days, was just waiting and wishing for better weather. On Wednesday it finally got better and the boys could start shooting. I arrived again on Friday, a bit late, but once arrived, we immediately started to film the last scenes for the upcoming docu.

Late in the afternoon the planned heli session started. Just one word: OVERWHELMING!! The session went down perfectly and the boys were killing it!! ..So be prepared for suuuuuperamazing scenes in the new movie in autumn!! I'm still stoked!

Thanks again for the great time and the amazing opportunity!

Austrian Freeski Open 2011 - Day 2

2011-02-25T15:56:00.002+01:00

Same weather, different year. Just like last year, we had very bad weather conditions on day 2 of the AFO for the qualifications! Lots of snowfall, clouds and fog made it pretty difficult to hold the whole competitions and made it hard for the riders to show off their skills!

Take at look at some impressions anyway:

they say it's spring

2010-04-01T15:22:00.000+02:00

When I was young

I lived in a world of dreams

Of moods and myths

And illusionary schemes

This feeling light as a feather

They say this thing

This magic we share together

They say it's spring

models/testimonials wanted

2010-04-01T15:05:00.000+02:00

no see long time. sorry for that. nothing worth mentioning so far. my journeys to italy got cancelled due to bad organisation.
the season hasn't been pretty good for me. i guess i just messed up.
however, after the upcomping weekend, where i still have another shooting at the Kitzsteinhorn, the winter has almost ended (for me so far) and i'm now more concentrating on portrait and fashion shots for the upcoming summer.
I already planned a few shooting for the next few weeks and I got a lot of ideas, i really want to put into practice.
But there's one important thing missing. I NEED MODELS/TESTIMONIALS! :)
So if you are interested just feel free to contact me. mail, phone, facebook,.. whatever..
Age, height, weight, hair color, eye color, and everything else you can think of doesn't matter. just contact me, and i will explain everything to you. if you have your one ideas or suggestions, feel free to tell them.
looking forward to hear from you.
*mail me

The level of the competition was pretty high. rookies, men as well as the ladies showed amazing tricks. i was especially stoked by the increasing level we got to see from the ladies.
So, congrats to the winners :)

cute toy.

2010-01-27T15:40:00.002+01:00

hero of the day: the postman. ;)
10am. still lying drowsily in bed. suddenly the doorbell rang. staggering obviosly clumsy towards the door. i could see the postman with a package through the fish eye. uuhh yaay.
My new lens and my infrared triggers have arrived. I bought them as a christmas present for myself. It's my one and only treat haha ;)
So let the shootings begin, I'm so supermotivated. Anyone who is in mood for a few urban rails, drops, obstacles, whateeever,..? (anywhere ;)

please contact.

glemm.bang 2010

2010-01-27T15:28:00.003+01:00

back from saalbach, where the glemm.bang 2010 competition took place.
It was amaaaazing how many rookies took part - over 50. It's great to see how the youngsters develop their skills so incredibly fast. Watch out ;)
The park was perfectly shaped and the obstacles well positioned. There was a kicker line of 3, and a jib line, wich included downbox, rainbow, barrel, kinked, downrail,.. i think that's it.

Myself took part in the photo contest. It tried my best, but it hasn't been the best day for me. Nonetheless got some cool shots from my lovely roommates ;)
Put this one on my portfolio. I thought it was worth it.

The results:

Freeski:

1. Flo Wieser
2. ?
3.?
Snowboard:
1. Frederik Wessel
2. Andy Fritzenwanker
3. Stefan Wimmer

take care. bye for now.

NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED!

2010-01-21T13:18:00.001+01:00

Heey guys,
sorry for not posting this long, but there was just nothing worth mentioning. Unfortunately I hadn't been shooting since the end of 2009. Pretty sad, isn't it?! But tomorrow I'm going to change that fact.
by the way, I wish you all a happy happy new year :) i hope mine will go on just the way it ended.

As you can see, I redesigned my blog layout. I hope you like it. As for myself, I like it a lot more than the old one. But I get annoyed so quickly by such things. We will see, how long this one lasts ;)

Now to the main point of my post. Today my new website launched! Check it out: http://www.lindaleitner.com/
It's much more compatible for all browsers and screen sizes. I put a few dynamic AJAX effects into the title navigation. I love it.

Read you soon.
I'm going to write a review of the upcoming contest this weekend. There is also a photo contest taking place. wuhuu.
xoxo

In this issue there is also a free dvd from the new picking's movie called "Stop it!". Love this movie. It's definitely a must-see!
So go and get it!

JIB DA HOUSE review

2009-11-24T16:16:00.000+01:00

Heey!
Finally all the work is done - I'm so glad about it, but it was definitely worth it.
I'm talking about the JIB DA HOUSE railbattle, which took place on Saturday in Kaprun.
I went to the contest area already on Friday and I was so stoked by the huuge setup. Thanks to the team from Ali Zehentner, who did an incredible job. Thumbs up!
So the competition started at 4.45 pm on Saturday. The guys had to start from a ramp in front of the Intersport Bründl building to get speed for the up-box resp. the barrel, which were built right in front of the grand stand. Afterwards the course went on with a down-rail and a c-box in the underground garage.
The crowd was so pleased by all the done 270s on / off, the switch-ups and even 450s off the c-box.
These 8 Riders made it into the finals: Sebi Geiger, Christian Katzbauer, Fabio Studer, Josh Absenger, Tobi Tritscher, Gabriel Gerhart, Flo Wieser, Roy Kittler.
Head-to-head the battle went on.
After another hour of fabolous tricks, runs and climbing stairs from the underground garage up the ramp again, finally Fabio Studer won with a perfectly done run (Up-Box 270 off, Downrail 270 on, fs change, 270 off, Curved Box fs change, 270 off).
Results:
1. Fabio Studer
2. Sebi Geiger
3. Josh Absenger
4. Flo Wieser

The day went on with an awesome aftercontest party right at the contest area in the underground garage. About 400-500 people came together and rocked the location. It was incredible to see how the kids went crazy when Kya Bamba was (were?) on the stage.
Nonetheless i headed for home at 1-2am because of lack of sleep.
I hope everyone had a good time & thanks to all of you for your coming!
A special thanks to Christoph Bründl, our mayor Ing. Norbeit Karlsböck, Dir. Peter Präauer and the whole team for organising this event!
Hope to see you next year again!

Lastly here are some pics:

portrait article

2009-11-07T21:50:00.000+01:00

hi everyone,
How are u all doing? I'm doing not too good. To be honest i feel bad, hm. Perfect time for blogging ;)

Yesterday I received an email from the editor of the magazine, in which a portrait of me is going to be published. I was so excited, when I saw the little attachment sign next to the subject, which said "Hey Linda". I knew, that he would send me the finished draft in the next few days. Jeej, superhappy. I was so stoked when I saw it and even more stoked, when I read it.
But ínstead of being yappy, I just show it to you. Take a look:

Click to enlarge. Hope it's possible for you to read it.

It's going to be published in a lifestyle magazine by blocher blocher. "Fräulein Leitners Gespür für Schnee" resp "Linda's Sense Of Snow" (oohh its even written in two languages, i likeee!) sounds so nice. And also the text is written soo amazingly well. I love it.
By the way, 1. David Ortlieb, 2. Gregor Jansenberger, 3. Matthias Leitner, 4. Roy Kittler, 5.Mike Hauser are pictured at the shots above.

Bedtime for me. But before i go to sleep, i ll be waiting for the results of the Barcelona Snow Show.
I kept my fingers crossed for Patrick, Beni and Paddy (and the other guys :), who made it into the finals yesterday. Supersweet! (My personal hot tip: Russ will win again)
Read you soon.
hugs linda
