This is my frist session of the year back home. It might be grey, cold and rainy but I still love these sessions the most.

North-West Europe experienced a full gale storm this week. The weather agencies adviced to stay indoors, with winds speeds exceeding 140 km/h, wreaking havoc in the UK and the Netherlands..

But some people just live for these conditions. Watch how Kevin de Smidt chased the storm around the coast of South-Holland:

Through the peak of the storm at the Maasvlakte to the aftermath at Scheveningen, in the search of his moment of silence.

The Dirty Habits Crew is a group of professional athletes from around the world, who chase the sun to Cape Town and other parts of the world to push each other to the extreme limits in performance, stunts, and taking day-to-day activities to the next level. We also feature friends and other professional athletes.. surfers, kiteboarders, stuntmen, skateboarders, wakeboarders, motocross riders, freedivers, and big wave surfers.

After making the final at the Red Bull King Of The Air 2 years in a row but not being able to claim that top spot, Liam realises that he might have to change up is equipment and adapt his style to the liking of the judges and the KOTA format.

This procedure will take patience, dedication and a lot of crashes and maybe even switching from riding boots to riding straps but he is up for the challenge with only two months until the start of the competition.
