Chillout-days

Whats upp..

Now have me and dansken just been chillin out for a couple of days.

The Winter games slopestyle was on saturday, but i did not compete in that..
The reason for that is simple, Soo bad course!! It was so easy to ether land on the nuckle or overshoot, and the jumps were very small. So i decided just to chill out for some days.. We have been playing "Agressive Golfing", skated, and sleeping.
But tomorrow we are going to Snow Park and shred some.

And yeah, i just got a spot in the Big Air, Winter games. But it is at the 30.aug, and we are going home the 28. aug, so we just need to re.booking our tickets(just hope that it will be alright). I think Jon Olsson is gonna helping to build the big jump for the winter games, and that will be awsome!!

Here are some pics:


FOOOOOOORE!!!


Awsome view..


Our diry car.. haha!

New competition day tomorrow

Soo this is what basicly happend:

When it was practise, it was bluebird, almost no wind, and just super fun to ski the course.
And when the practise was finnished it started to get really foggy and windy, and we just got to skiing 1 run each before they had to canceled it. So tomorrow we gonna ride our second run.
I am actually pretty stoked over it, because it says on the fourcast that it will be sunny..! yea.

So my run is: 270 disaster on the kinkbox, misty 450 out on the launchbox, sw bio 720 japan, sw 900 nosemute and then a kangaroo flip 900 japan shiftey.

and.. yeah ive just got an spot in the Wintergames slopestyle!! STOKED!
Its at the Remarkables skisenter in Queenstown, just 1,5 hours car trip from where we are staying now(Wanaka).
The slopestyle comp is at the 22 aug.

Thats it..
Enjoy!

Stoked before the comp!

Hey guys!

Me and Dansken woked up at 9 o`clock, and eat a nice breakfast at the cafe, then we drove up to pick up my bib nr and get some info about the comp

Afterwards i was up at Cardrona skiresort shredding..
Burton open is finnished and next up is Volkl NZ Open.
The slopestyle course is:
a flat down box-launch box-then 3 kickers in a row(small-medium-big) then a weird setup, like an up rail, then a mini quarter and then you take the up rail, down again(?) hehe, hard to explain..

But some of the elements was open today, it was the flat down box and the first and second jump. So i tried them some few times, but im not very happy with the jumps, first and second jump is pretty small so i cant do what i hoped to do on the jumps.. but im looking forward to try the last jump aka the big jump. and maybe do some dubs on that.

Here are som pics from NZ..
