I guess it was a biggie


 
Den nya röntgen på min arm som gjordes i Uppsala igår (9 dagar efter craschen) resulterade i en helt annan diagnos än Sälens sjukstuga tidigare satt. Det blev akut operation inatt. Handen hade hoppat ur led och tagit med sig nån benbit (struntar i medicinska termer nu). Så dom har som satt ihop allt igen nu. Antar att det är bra att det inte är båtbenet iaf.

De inkompetenta läkarna i Sälen missade allt på röntgen, drog nån random slutsats och gipsade mig "så länge bara". 

Nu har jag kommit hem från sjukan med en för tillfället helt oanvändbar högerarm, tokig smärta, förvirrade och frustrerande tankar samt en burk morfin. Fruktansvärt overkligt! Jag skulle ju åka massa snowboard nu. Vad fan gör man?? När kan jag stå på brädan igen??

På sjukan i väntan på besked.







Under julfirandet i Umeå, i förhoppning att kunna shredda snowboard med gips.
Jag var hemma i Umeå och firade jul tillsammans med min familj. (GOD JUL lite så här försent förresten!) Vackert smyckat gips av kära vänner. Tog med mig brädan upp till Umeå, tänkte att det kanske skulle kunna gå att filma ett spot eller två i mellandagarna. Trots skadan... Men vi åkte aldrig nån bräda där, vilket kanske var tur med tanke på diagnosen jag fick i Uppsala senare.

A little edit from World Snowboarding Day in Tandådalen

This is some fun clips of me from the World Snowboarding Day 2011 in Tandådalen. The rails are small, the tricks might not be perfect, but it´s the beginning of the season and it´s all just for fun, eeey!

This is fuck but what the fuck


Such a great day in Tandådalen with happy shredding and awesome people! Making spins in the arenajump and oh my god I was smiling! Untill the frontsideseven-crash and I got pissed! My arm kind of broke and I was rude, said many very bad words and was throwing things (sorry guys). The x-ray showed that it might be a navicularfracture (båtbensfraktur) but they are not sure. Gypsum in 10 days, then we´ll see. 

But of course you can snowboard with a gypsum. Maybe not now, but soon. No biggie.

The bump on the top of the right arm was there before since an older injury. But not the other bump.

World Snowboarding Day

I have been in Sälen now with Anna Engstrand, Caroline Degardh and Sara Fors and we have had a great time snowboarding and laughing!
Yesterday was the World Snowboarding Day and there was some awesome shredd going on! And when the lift closed me, Jakod Edmand, Edmund Eriksson and Anders Claesson from Rip Curl was hiking and filming the rails in the park untill we had no energy left.

This is just clips from a coming videoedit, so that´s why it´s so bad quality.







Haha, I hit my head and face so many times this weekend so I feel a little bit dizzy. I crashed my helmet so I need a new one.

Sälen and World Snowboarding Day

Sälen next. Going up tomorrow so I can do some snowboard over the weekend and maybe the beginning of next week. 
This is what´s gonna happen on sunday on the World Snowboarding Day! 


På Söndag (18e December) är det World Snowboarding Day. Det betyder att har man möjlighet så skall man befinna sig på sin snowboard och ha kul. Rip Curl bjuder därför in dig till en heldag i Tandådalen Sälen ihop med teamåkarna Jakob Edman och Tove Holmgren. Alla får vara med och vi samlas kl 11.00 bakom Wärdshuset. Följ Rip Curl flaggorna och gå fram till tältet. Efter dagens slut kommer Tove och Jakob utse en vinnare som dom tycker förtjänar ett nytt kit från Rip Curl. Jacka och byxa. Vi kommer även lotta ut lite feta prylar under dagen också. Så kom till Tandådalen på Söndag och var med och fira världens bästa dag. WORLD SNOWBOARDING DAY!!!

The weekend in Åre

Powder, 
a lot of liftproblems (they had to evacuate people from the lift),
some sort of streetmission with the best Sanne Mona and her new camera,
red wine with a taste of italy,

mulled wine with almonds,
tacos (kind of every day),
Rip Curls the Gum movie,

happy people,
dance,
bruising..





And what´s up next?
Work a few days and then snowboard somewhere again. I want to start filming streetspots so I hope that´s what up soon. Otherwise I will maybe go to Sälen because they have set a few rails in the slope.

"Känn lugnet", feel the calm or whatever


No snow outside my window, not even a white little spot. It´s kind of raining and I can almost feel a tear on my cheek. I feel sad and a bit frustrated. But what can I do?? The weather is one thing you can´t to anything about but I´m getting stressed anyways!!. 
My friends says to me all the time: "Känn lugnet" Tove, relaaaaax.

I am, of course, trying to do the best of the situation. I mean, I´m just not sitting on my ass and do nothing. The other day I got this crazy impulsive idea to book a flight to Breckenridge for some pre-season snowboarding for two weeks. But I sat down, counted how much it would cost, and got to the conclusion that then I would not afford to do anything the rest of the season. So until the snow will start to dump I´m gonna ride som pvc, work at the Wesc shop and do some workout and just "Känna lugnet" and don´t be stressed!

Me and my workingbuddie Henrik has been decorating the Wescstore in PUB to get some christmas-spirit.

Tricktip tuesday, Monokel and Alex Haapamäki

Newsmail from Junkyard.se and I´m in it




Tandådalen

I went to Tandådalen, with some of the Nitroguys (thank you Nitro for everything!!), for some shredd on the snowy mountain. But the mountain was not snowy at all. It was kind of green and really warm. But it was one little slope open for us so we had a fun time jibbing for two days. We did some hiking in the i-Park but I sucked on snowboarding. Hehe, I guess some days it does not just work at all. But I had a fun time shredding with Alec and Anna. Thanks for a great time girls!! On saturdaynight there was party going on and premiere on the Nitro and Secondhands movie. And yes, it was really fun!

Too bad I don´t have any pictures to put up here. My camera was out of battery. I have put it on charge now =)

Teaser for the Nitro movie What goes up must come down.

PVC

 
We are shredding some pvc at Studenternas in Uppsala and I feel like a little kid playing in the snow and I love it. People are passing by on their bikes starring at us and can´t understand what the fuck we are doing.

I went to Trollhättan for a day and took some pictures for Junkyard with RipCurl outerwear and Wesc streetwear. Really nice to meet all the guys at the Junkyardoffice. The result will be publised soon.

Rip Curl

I´m riding for Rip Curl outerwear this winter! 


And I´m keeping Wesc as streetwear.

Sunshine on the glacier

Yesterday was awesome! Shredding in the sunshine all day long, and it was soo beatutiful up on the glacier and the jumps and the snow was really great and not icy at all. I guess I did ok on the board since it was my second day of the season. 


Though, yesterday was the last shreddingday. The lift is closed today again and I´m going home tonight.

But, after all, I´ve had a great time here with the Swedish national team and everyall the crazy snowboarders from Malung! Thanks for a nice time in Saas-Fee!!

Still windy, trying to do the best of the situation


No snowboard today either! Still too windy up on the glacier.
I woke up early and tired, ate breakfast and then we all went out for a run. It´s very strenuous running at the high level we´re at (1800 m). And then we played some badminton and me, Johanna, Malin and Olivia sat at the balcony in the sun for a while.

Yesterday we saw the Absinthe movie, Twelve, and then there was a really fun party =)

Snowboard tomorrow? Yes PLEASE!!
