Kalle got screwed over so badly at USO.  He should have won, or at least gotten 2nd.  Instead he got 5th

The newschoolers in Finland have always been good. There are many more than Kalle Leinonen or AJ Kemppainen (check for Matti Räty, Iisko Heiskanen, Mart Perendi, Pekka Hyysalo, Janne Sarajärvi, Joonas Kuoksa and belive me there is lotta more!). I mean we got the skill for sure but the big brands haven't been intrested from our boys for some reason. : / Anyways I hope this breaks the bubble.

Also download this free 30min long movie they've made: http://www.legacy.1g.fi/

^ I remember watching that a while back, it's good. Not the best, but a good free movie.

He did get screwed, I think he deserved second at USFSO.

As for FIS Pipe... who cares abotu FIS anymore?
