Hey Bliss-stick Crew,  so here in Europe, pretty sweet place paddling some sick stuff everyday, and just ran into Nils one of the mystic designers, been having fun hanging with him and a few of the German boys.   In the Val Sesia Teva games Honza stomped it blowing everyone away. The mystic was doing most of it I think. I borrowed the Mac-1 for the boater cross and won every race, was sweet. Apart from this Pat Keller and I fired up the Devil Slide, check it out on www.samsutton.com/italy.html   cheers for the boat its doing a sick job looking after me.
