FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., August 12, 2009 – Oakley’s 1242 Productions, in cooperation with Friday Productions announced today the upcoming release of Tracking Eero, a multi-media collaboration, which includes a television series, webisodes and a documentary video, all starring world renowned snowboarder Eero Ettala.
“Tracking Eero showcases the true depth of Eero’s riding,” says Chris Hotell, Tracking Eero Executive Producer and Oakley Sports Marketing Manager. “We took him out of his element and pushed him into new scenarios, including trips with athletes he never rides with. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him and we documented it.”
From the producers of “Terje’s Season Pass” and “Snowboard Diaries”, “Tracking Eero” follows Eero Ettala as he explores urban jibs in grim Russian military zones, gets lost in the endless powder of the Hokkaido backcountry, heli boards in British Columbia and goes on a whirlwind Euro road trip searching for the best parks on the continent. Friends Nicolas Muller, Danny Kass, Eiki Helgason, Torstein Horgmo, Terje Haakonsen, Jake Blauvelt, Eric Botner and Kevin Pearce join Ettala as he travels to legendary snow locations.
“I wanted to do something different from my usual season filming a video part,” says Ettala, who has been with Oakley for nine years. “The idea of a TV show, webisodes and a snowboard movie gave me the chance to go anywhere in the world, ride with whoever I wanted and really try some new things.”
‘Tracking Eero’ will air on international television networks throughout the ’09-’10 winter, including FUEL TV, NRK, MTV3 and Gaora Sports. Look for detailed air dates, times, webisodes and athlete blogs in future press release communication and on http://www.trackingeero.com.

best well rounded rider, hands down

This looks amazing. I can only hope that somebody puts this stuff up on either the Oakley site, or on Youtube in high quality, because Canadian broadcasting only has time for gay jock sports.

i agree i rode a nitro team 2 years ago and it was sick but nitro was a little behind with the reverse camber so i got a skate banana but they make good boards for sure

torstein is always stoked as hell
August 19th, 2009 at 10:55 am
Eero is the smoothest all around rider period. Sick Style!
August 20th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
most versatile rider in the world. fucking sickest man alive you gotta love him
August 21st, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Why would you drop trash about Müller man? He doesn't act like he knows everything about snowboarding, he just lives in it. He has fun no matter what he's doing. He's a rider you should envy, not talk shit about.
Eear is sooo clean. Didn't even hear about him until MDP's Picture This. Loved watching him sense.
