This week Stefan and I had a few nice sessions. Here are some pictures of Fehmarn from yesterday!

A week ago, I had my second cable session this year and it's only the 4th since spring 2009. I didn't go to the cable very often since end of 2008 but I recognized again, that it's a very good training.

Here are some impressions.

Hey guys!

I just released my new video with footages from march/april and may recorded in kiel and fehmarn.

Have a look and enjoy!

Spring 2010 - Lasse Schneppenheim from lasse s on Vimeo.

Hi guys,

well since two weeks I'm back from Sölden. It was an awesome snowboarding trip with a lot of people. You can see a few pictures on the bottom.

Last weekend we went to Damp to go wakeboarding. Such a crap! I crashed very hard with my left shoulder which was already injured for a long time.

I don't know how long this will take but I hope I'll be completely recovered around the end of may.

Hey guys!

It had been very quiet for a long time. That's because I just finished most of my A-level exams and because it was a very long and hard winter!

The last weeks it seems like the world wakes up again and temperature  raises.

So, I'm on the water again and I already had some nice sessions, sometimes without gloves etc.

Hope to have some sessions without shoes soon.

Jonas Petong and me had a nice  photoshooting just two weeks ago even if the conditions were rather difficult. It was very cold and I was lit on my 10 so we decided to take photos of some smaller kiteloops and nice raileys because the job could be done in a few minutes.

Jonas is a talented and young photographer from Kiel and took these shots!

Hey there! 

As most of you know this was a very hard and cold winter full of snow.

So I decided to have a little break not just because of the temperature but because of some injuries to recover.

Although my plan was to spend some time in school to prepare for upcoming A-level exams I also used the snow to try snowkiting. It went pretty well but frozen water isn't really my favorite. 

So now I'm waiting for my 2010 stuff and for my exams. After these I'll be on the water as much as I can.

I reuploaded an Video from atumn 2008. Some of you'll remember, some other won't but have a look. It was nice work.

In summer Jens Hogenkamp made some great pictures of me. Have a look!

Since last tuesday you can find an interview with me on Sport2.de

Sport2.de is an onlinemagazine which offers you the latest news of several ExtremeSports.

Thank you very much. Here ist the Link for the interview.

Life runs so fast. Today was my first day in school again which ist the beginning of the last year for me.

One week before, I went to DK with some friends. Their we had a small shooting.  I don't know now but I'll see the results soon. Hope we made 1 or 2 nice pictures.

Anyway, we had a lot of fun there. We started in Kiel in the evening and arrived when it was already dark. The next day we woke up very early to do a few moves. After 30 Minutes we made a rest to sleep until 3 P.M. on the beach. Then I had a great Session lit on my 8. I did some Megaloops, high BJ3s  and Kiteloopbackloops with Grabs.

And we did everything in perfectly flat water. Epic!

Stay tuned!

So, last weekend we competed on the last Trophystop on Fehmarn. We had crazy winds and a lot of fun.

For met it was a very successful weekend. I was able to win in my first heat against Tobias Hölter and my second heat against Rick Jensen. After these I lost the semifinal against Stefan Permien, so I had to compete in the looserfinal against Jan Schiegnitz for the third place.

It didn't went well. After a blindjudge, a 313 and a backmobe I wanted to do a Sbendpass and a Back2Blind AP but I smashed both times.

At the end I reached the forth place. I'm super happy about that because the mens devision is much harder than the juniors devision last year.

Finally, now we know the overall-ranking for the german championships 2009. For me it's the 6th place this year but I'm fine with that because we had about 33 competitors.

And now I've got something special for you.

I proudly present my new video -SPARETIME-

It's just an collection of  2 or 3 sessions I had in the holidays.

Have fun with it.

Ok guys,

it's a long time since I've written the last News.

Here is just a little summary of the last weeks.

After presenting my last video 'Hit It' I went do Warnemünde for the third Trophystop. I didn't went very well when I tried unhookedstuff in 7 Bft lit on my 8.

Now I'm just back from the Worldcup in St. Peter Ording. I didn't compete but I trained a bit and I worked for Slingshot and of course some party. One and a half nice weeks.

Something special was last thursday when the wind went up to 40 knots and I loved to do some huge megaloops like I used to.

Before the firts heats began I was allready out on my 7 m² fuel. I was so overpowered that some guys had to carry me from the land to water beacause I wasn't able to handle the power. When I did my first loops it seems to be a little bit unfamiliar to me because I was used to the RPM but after a few minutes I did crazy loops. It was awesome.

Later Ruben Len10 joined on the water.

Sick! He was out on his 7 and I was out on my 6 RPM. 

Not enough power for epic loops on my 6 but with some waves I were able to get up high again.

Now I'm back and I learned a few things which I want to practice here in Kiel now. I just want to do my moves more radically.

So, see you on the water guys and have a nice Summer.

Stay tuned!

Just a small Videoclip. It shows me lit on my 8 in 40 knots.

Some Bigairs and some Kiteloops.

Thanks to Jonas Petong who has taken some nice pictures in Stein/Kiel.

Although I just published my new Video "A motion picture collection"

I can already present another Videoclip.

It's recorded in march 2009 at Wulfner Hals.

Thanks to Holger Naggert who filmed and edited it.

A very good and funny video.

So, I haven't done anything on the website for a long time. Now it's up to me again to write what's new.  I'm just back from the first trophystop of the german Kitesurftrophy 2009. The first one was in Dahme. We just had wind for one day so there was a lot of party as well. This year I have to compete in the man-devision. It's not possible to compare juniors with men. It's a lot harder. Also it did'nt go well for me.  I didn't rode well enough to have a great success but also I didn't have much luck last friday. So for me it's the 7th place this time. I'm fine with that.

The second thing is that I'm working on my next video.

I just finished the trailer, which you can watch here.

Trailer - A motion-picture-collection from lasse s on Vimeo.

Last wednesday, some friends and me drove to Fehmarn to go ripping in perfectly flat water. But when we arrived, we saw that there is not that much wind we excpected to be. How ever, it was enough for my 11 Fuel. When I tried all of my wakestyletricks I quickly realized that after 2 months 0f a minimum of kitesurfing and almost no wakestyle

my muscularity went down.

So for me it was disappointing.

Here are some pictures taken by Holger Naggert.

Langsam verkaufe ich meine restlichen beiden 08er Underground FLXs. Beide befinden sich in einem sehr guten Zustand mit nur leichten kratzern. Beide wurden nur wenig gefahren und nicht stark beansprucht. Da ich sie erst zum Ende der Saison bekommen habe.

Zu verkaufen sind die Größen 128 und 135.

Wer Interesse hat, der meldet sich doch bitte über "Contact" bei mir.

Preise sind sehr günstig und verhandelbar.

You all know, till now it's probably the coldest winter of the last 3 years.

On the 5th of January 2009 Ivo and me went out to have a sick session in Laboe.

The air had something around -3°C.

It was perfect to test my new NPX-Stuff and it went pretty well.

It was no problem to do some tricks for 1-2 hours.

Here are some pictures.

Hi there!

For the next Year I've got great news.

I'm very proud to present my new Sponsor.

Now, NPX supports me with high quality and super warm Softtechproducts like Wetsuits, Gloves, Lycras and Boardshorts. Their products are more than just Style. They are also very practical.

Visit their page and have a look at the new collection for Season 2009.

Hey dudes, what's up.

I'm sittin' here in front of my notebook, being totaly depressed while following the windforecast.

And this feeling feels very familiar, because it's every day the same since a couple of weeks.

Every day's school, every day's homework, every day's look at the windfidner forecast.

There is neither good wind with flat water for nice wakestyle nor nice high winds for Megaloops.

But however, I'm looking forward to christmas holidays, hoping for the best, expecting the worst. Maybe I get the chance to rip really hard again.

I think the most of you feel the same.

STAY TUNED, DUDES! ;-)

Here is my new Video - Apocalypse. I had a lot of fun, cutting the scenes and I played a little bit, with slowmo and so on. I hope you like it.

And thanks a lot to Tom Visbeck, who was filming in cold conditions for a long time. Nice work, man.

After my last video , I planed to make a better video in better lights and better records.

Tom, a friend of me already filmed a lot.

Here you can watch the trailer of my new Video, coming  soon.

This Weekend we had the fourth Kiteloop Contest ever here in Laboe.

Saturday we had really nice conditions, and I learned a lot. I almost landed a L3 and I'm close to a Frontmobe.

For a few times I was lit on my 10 and I tried some high hooked kiteloops.

That's probably the reason why I was able to win the KLC 08 with the "highest Kiteloop".

So this was a nice event. I hope next year it's going to be as awesome as this weekend or even better. We'll see.

Here you can see a few pictures.

And here's the link to more Pictures

11.50 message - Frank Rosin:

Want to check out the Cable in Pinneberg?

Of course I wanted to. I packed my stuff and drove to Frank. Then we drove on to Pinneberg near Hamburg. There we picked up Tim Kummerfeld and met Enno Oldings and Oliver Sauerland at cable.

Frank gave me the new Underground Prototype to test it. And it worked nice.

Tim showed some impressive moves (loaded and on the Kicker), Frank evidenced that he is not just able to ripp the Waves and Enno and Oliver made a lot of action as well.

I was able to do some epic tricks, too. That was calming after the last disappointing cablesession. First I thought, that this cable is to small for me.

I need a little bit more space 'cause I'm riding regular but I found one part there to do it.

Here is a picture of me, doing a nice sbend with the underground Prototype where you can perfectly see the doubleconcave with the two channels next to the outline.

Last weekend the Kitesurftrophy 08 ended on Fehmarn Island.

Saturday we started the singles and in my heat against Felix Sorau, i had some  easy but on-style-focused tricks. However, Felix made a Slimchance, and the judges decided for him. The Next heat was the looser Final against Nils Wesch. I used the rest of the Wind to make a powerfull Sbend and than I cocentrated on Handlepasses, cause there was almost no wind for me. I made a raileytoblind, a backtoblind and a Blindjudge. But in the end nils did these Tricks too but also a sbend to blind.So it was easier for Nils. I'm sure if there had been more wind I would have been able to do a few tricks more and maybe to beat Nils. Anyway, he did a great heat. Congratulation Nils.

So, for me it's the 4th Place.

Also Congratulation to Tim Kummerfeld, my Teammate. He made the first place.

So I'm back from the Pkra Worldcup in Germany. I spent a whole Week in my car and worked for my Sponsor Core/Carved every day. That was sometimes hard work. But it also was a lot of fun. And it was worth it. For me and a lot of other kitesurfer we were the most professional and active brand. Cause we setuped about 25 Kites each day to give other guys the chance to test our equipment. Of course we also made a lot of party.

It was nice to meet all the guys of Carved/Core and to talk with them about our stuff. Also it was very cool to talk with Frank about designing Kites. A lot of thing were very suprising. Thank you dudes.

Here are just a few pictures of me at the german championships.

Hope you enjoy it

Ich freue mich, euch hier an dieser Stelle meinen neuen Sponsor für Kleidung und Fashion vorzustellen.

Frisurclothing ist ein junges Label aus dem norden Deutschlands und präsentiert sich in einem krativem, lässigen Stil.

Stephan und Thies entwickelten die Idee für Frisurclothing schon in ihrer Schulzeit

Wie die guten Stücke aussehen das könnt ihr euch hier mal anschauen.

Nachdem ich heute mit Stefan in SPO war und ich einige Schwellen zu neuen Tricks knacken konnte warte ich nun sehr gespannt auf das kommende Wochenende um an der Kitesurf Trophy auf Sylt teilzunehmen.

Die letzten Wochen habe ich versucht viel zu trainieren, leider hat man manchmal Wochen wo kaum was dazukommt und dann Tage an denen man soviel lernt wie in den vergangenen 4 Wochen. So ein Tag war heute zwar nicht unbedingt aber er hat mich um einiges weiter gebracht.

Zudem brechen mit dem kommenden Wochenende auch die Sommerferien für mich an, 6 Wochen entspannen, trainieren, Freunde und Sorglosigkeit bis ich mich mit Beginn meines 12ten Schuljahres auf den Hosenboden setzten muss um meiner weiteren Zukunft nicht selber im Wege zu stehen. Man darf gespannt sein.

Ich bin zurück aus Weissenhaus, wo am Wochenende der zweite Tourstop der Seat Kitesurftrophy stattfand.

Am Samstag Vormittag konnten die Junioren starten. Im zweiten Heat des Tages setzte ich mich gegen Vito Brabetz durch und konnte mich so für das Viertelfinale qualifizieren. Leider musste etwa 20 Minuten später abgebrochen werden, da der Wind schwächelte.Die Juniorenwertung konnte nicht zuende gefahren werden.

Dennoch wars ein sehr lustiges Wochenende und ein toller erster Heat für mich.

Auf Sylt werde ich wieder dabei sein und freue mich alle Anderen wiederzusehen.

Wir sind am 9ten Tag mit Wind angekommen.

9 Tage ohne Pause Wind für unter 11qm. Der Hammer, ich weiß nicht ob das Glück mit meinen neuen Kites zusammenhängt.

Mir tut langsam schon alles weh und ich wache mit Muskelkater auf. Jeden Tag 4 Stunden rocken.

Auch die Kummerfelds ließen es sich nicht nehmen, dieses norddeutsche Paradies mit zu erleben und fuhren prompt mit hier hoch.

Von heute gibts auch noch ein paar klasse Bilder.

Hier z.B.ein back to blind von mir.

Reinhaun

Komme gerade aus Brasilien vom Wasser. Ich hatte eine unglaubliche Session, habe Moves perfektioniert und was neues gelernt.

Ein Hammer Ostwindtag.

Zudem stell ich nun mein Video online mit Stefan Permien und meiner Wenigkeit.

Einer meiner letzten Sessions mit meinem Waroo und auch ne runde Sache der Tag. Wobei es dann in Aukrog besser war. Das War vor etwa 2 Wochen.

Nun habe ich meine Fireballs und bin mit ihnen und dem Barsystem mehr als zufrieden.

Aber hier nun das Video mit meinen ersten Versuchen am Schnitt.

Ich habe heute einen Testbericht zum Underground Flx 08 in 132, veröffentlicht.

Hier geht es zum Bericht.

Stefan und ich waren heute an einem neuen Spot und später noch in Aukrog.

Mit dabei war endlich mal ne Cam und deswegen gibt es auch n Video.

Aber das muss noch geschnitten werden. Wir haben eigentlich ein paar ganz gute Aufnahmen und Stefan hat mal wieder ein paar feine Sachen gezogen.

Bei mir hätte es besser laufen können, wie in den letzten Tagen z.B.. Gleich am Anfang zog es meine Schulter bei nem Airpass wieder durch, so dass sie für den Rest des Tages rumstresste (Kriegsverletzung vom letzten Mal Wakeboarden)

Deswegen habe ich mich mit dem Handlepassüben zurückgenommen.

Dennoch wars n geiler Tag.

Hier ein sehr gut gelungener double Sbend als Vorgeschmack.
