Nike ACG and - Skiing in Dizin with Eva Walkner

Eva Walkner was a downhill ski racer in the Austrian national team. She wanted to know more about the people in Iran, the culture and the ski area she heard so much about. So she did a trip to Iran sponsored by Nike ACG Sweetspots. She was amazed by the things she experienced.

She says: "This whole trip was one big adventure. Making this Sweetspot was the best experience of my life!"

I love the fact that Nike made this trip possible for her and Im sure that a whole lot more skiing geeks know about Irans skipistes now, even though I think the real spirit of the ski pistes in Iran has not been captured properly. But this documentation isnt about the many ski resorts in Iran, it's about overcoming self set boundaries and challenging prejudices to achieve a new point of view. And that's fair enough for a start aint it ;) Plus if you wanna know more about the ski resorts in Iran just check out the Cool Kisses Song Blog you got everything you need to know right here ;)

But anyway, here's the clip, the things been cut into 4 minutes:

 

YouTube-Video

Eva just send me the link to the whole 20min film. The film is created and executive produced by her. I thanked her on behalf of the Iranian people...like I'm the president! lol....

So here it is, tell me what you think of it:

 

Oh and by the way, as you can tell Eva is cool as hell (oxymoron I know, should I have said cool as heaven??!!! or cool as an eskimo??!! lol....noooo...) she's always travelling around the world and she blogs about it too. In German though, check out her blog, here.
