We got two cars. Jamie got a Ford transit and they gave me a Land Rover. Ballin' status


Pfanner got a drink sponsor. Pfanner Iced Tea


The temperature in Austria dropped in the past seven days. It's looking more like a snowboard trip


The hills are alive with the sound of music


Trujillo and Chima brought all the same clothes


Our hotel has a quarter pipe couch


Tony serves up a Bertleman Smith


Our tour guide Gernot and his Guide Dog Sam


An authentic Austrian meal




Due to the cold and rain, we kept it indoors. Fortunately Linz recently opened a sweet indoor park two weeks ago


Pfanner is a local hero of sorts


Welcome to Slovenia


Thrasher font is worldwide


The gas pumps don't shut off in Slovenia. Resulting in an Exxon Valdez situash


Jamie checks out his diesel spill
