European Open 3

Qualification day!

Today was the qualifications, I was in the first heat.
Me and Marius Kjolseth woke up 8 at the morning, and eat breakfast.
Then we took the lift up to the course, it was nice wheater, but very icey course.
In the practise i did my run so i was not SO nervous, but ofcourse a bit nervouse.
In my first run i did; on the rail: k-fed, 2 hit quarter: air with japan and air to fakie. First jump: sw bio 9 nosemute, second jump: dub cork 10 nosemute to CRASH, i landed with both of my skitip at the flat! and that ended in a brused thumb! In the second run i dident managed to put my glove on, so i borrowed Thomas Dolplads's glove, and i have to ski with one pole, and that was enough to fuck up my run and the balance, soo i dident qualify.
I was a bit pist off, because i have landed all of my dub 10's but im the qualifying run i screwed it up, but shit happens..

Creds to; Fridtjof Fredricson who qualify at first place in hes heat, Elvis Harseheim, Halvard thon, Vegard Oye who also qualifyed for the semis. The fourth heat was canceled beacuse of much wind, so they gonna do it tomorrow, Its Gaute Silseth, Sig Tveit and Klaus Finne who is in fourth heat.

Now im just gonna shred some rails and boxes in the sick railpark in Laax for some couple of days. And maybe some day manage to put up a rail edit!

European Open 2

Practice day and Riders meeting!

Today it was the official practice day for the slopestyle comp at european open 09.
I have my run quite good now, ive landed all of my dub 10`s today so im pretty stoked about that.
On the last kicker i had planed to do a kangaroo flip, but the kicker is way too flat for that, so i think i gonna do a rodeo 900 in stead.

On the riders meeting we got some info about the competition.
They said that the 2 quarterpipes are gonna count and be in the comp(WTF?).
If i wanted to ride a half pipe i would registratied for half pipe... They could just as well put a pillow line in the course.. it would make just as much sence!
and since i almost never rides half pipe, im not good at half pipe, and on the first jump im gonna hit it switch, but i cant revert so i have to land switch in the pipe and that will effect my run.
And most of the norwegian riders agree that, including Sig the shocker!
Now im complaining a lot, but thats just the facts hehe..

I am in the first heat with Ole Mustad and Ketil Jansen and 22 other guys.
its 4 heats in all, and every heat it is 25 riders, 6 will qualify for the semifinals.

I will post some photos soon!

Wish me good luck fellaz.

Im out, peace!

European Open

Hey folks!


Now im here in Laax, Switzerland.

Im gonna tell you folks a bit of my trip:
First i went from Oslo to frankfurt by myself. then i waited for 1 hour before i met Elvis Harsheim and Marius Kjolseth. I hoped that im gonna take the same flight as these guys from Frankfurt to Zürich, buut.. i dident. I almost missed my flight, but i made it in the last minute.
When i arrived in Zürich i desided to wait for Sig tveit, Elvis and Marius for 2 hours.
When i called Elvis to check the status at those guys, and he said that they missed the flight, haha! So i had to take the train and bus alone, a bit scethcy since i never had been here before, but i made it..

I live with Sig, Elvis and marius at riders palace here at Laax. We got to test the slopestyle course, its gonna be: a 10 m flatbox to 2 hits in a "back to back" quarterpipe(not cool) then its 3 jumps in a line, the kickers is pretty flat, but i hope im gonna set my run.
My plan was that i gonna have a videoblog from European Open, but im SO good at videocams, that i made to delete all the footage from the trip, so therefore i have no photoes or clips from the trip, but maybe one day im gonna made one!

See ya!
