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..

Backyard Setup

Yo!

Now i have buildt a backyard-setup in my little backyard in front of my house.
Me and my homie Mathias Helgesen have spent some hours buying in tube`s and materials and building inrun and railsetup. After aproximatly 4 hours the setup was finished and raised, we started to test it out.
It was a bit scary in the start, but it took only some few minutes to get used to it.

The next day we stood up eeeearly and had some plans of the famous "all 8" and after 1 hour both of us was finished with the "all 8" and the clock was just 7:30 in the morning!!

We have taken som few pictures from the setup as you can watch below.
And maybe some day i can put up a little edit.

Last shoot for this season, Juvass 09

The juvass shoot was the most epic shoot i`ve ever been on!
It was with the Field crew (WWW.FIELDPRODUCTIONS.COM) who shooted on the jump.

The people: Jon Olsson, Anders Backe, Even Sigstad, Tom Wallisch, PC Fosse, Christopher Frankum, Ole Mustad and Aleksander Aurdal.

The jump: 30 m rollover, 9 m high kicker and just perfectly built.

The first day was the helishoot day, i had not tryed the jump before the heli arrived, so it was a bit scary to just start straight on a shoot. but the heli arrived 1 hour to late so i just got 2 jump with the heli.

The second day arrived Tom Wallisch to join some shooting at Juvass. This day we filmed from the ground with the RED cam. Everyone killed it, and it turn out as a great succses!!
