The blog has been kind of lazy for a while, just stearing at the same page. But just because the blog has been still I have not.

It´s May now and I have start working on the Wesc store on Kungsgatan in the big city Stockholm. It´s so nice that I´ve got the oppurtunity to work there thanks to my sponsordeal.

The two last weeks in april it was a foto and film shoot with NITRO in Sälen. The first week the shoot took place in Lindvallen. It was really fun, and sometimes very challenging and scary.
The setup were included a shootout rail on a big car and I was the only snowboarder hitting it. (Don´t ask me why.) 

They had built a really big and pretty scary kicker for the guys and a smaller kicker for the girls. We had both day and night sessions on the kicker filming and taking pictures. Since I am a real raillover I also hiked a rail for one hour and filmed myself.

The big kicker and the small kicker.

Hiking.

The last nightsession on the kickers I decided to hit the big kicker and did a backside 3 first try =) And then it got too dark and the session was over =) But I am pretty stoked that I had the guts to do it! Yeey!

The weekend and Oxbornsession in Tandådalen, a lot of fun jibbing in the slushy railpark and a looot of partys and dancing =)

The plan was to film on the Oxbornjump after the weekend but it was so much trubble hitting it because the wind was all over the place and the riders had some problems with speed. I decided not to jump the kicker since even the guys thought it was really scetchy and scary because of the wind. So we had a cornersession and some jib session instead, taking pictures and filming.

Nitro had rent a few apartments for us, and the crew on place were:
Me, Malin Johansson, Cicci Larsen, Sven Thorgren, Johannes Scottheim, Anton Bilare, Ludwig, Gustav Zellmer, Patrik Lundin, Sofi Lidman, Chris Thelin, Klemens (filmer), Lolli (photographer), Daniel Rönnbäck (photographer from the Secondshandsteam. They were also there for a shoot).

I´ve decided to write some other things than just about snowboard now. The snowboardseason is over for me and a lot of other fun things is up to happen this summer. The first of June me and Robert are moving to Stockholm for 2 months and I´m gonna work on the store the whole summer.

No Matter What snowcamp

Now I´ve been in Åre for a week. Again. I like it there, the people, the park, the sun (when it decides to shine). 

The "No matter what" camp was so succesfull! And just this day the sun was shining all over the place! And in everyones faces, because all the 14 campgirls were smiling the whole day. We started the day with a long and wonderful breakfast at hotel Granen and then we all went to the park. We had a tent in the middle of the railpark where hamburgers and a lot of homebaked candy was served.

It was so much fun watching the developments at the girls during the day. From jumping the little green jumps to go to the big red ones! It was awesome and I felt so proud over the girls to be their coach! After a lot of shredding we went to Dahlboms for a bear or two. And then we went to Holiday and some bathing and saunabathing =) The long a perfect day ended at the Werséns with a nice dinner and some awards to the girls. And then it was party all night long!

Thanks all involved for a fun and exciting day!! 

 

Snowboard SM in Kläppen

Sitting in a rainy Åre after 3 funny and exhausting days of snowboard SM in Kläppen. We started in the park 8.30 every morning and got home around 18.30 every night. The weather was very varied with, sun, rain and a lot of wind.

Thursday: Halfpipe. 
A fourth place wich I´m pretty ok with because I have kind of never been shredding pipe before =) It was fuuun! And kind of difficult. Hehe.

Friday: Boardercross. 
I did not compete. My knees could not take the flat and hard landings.

Saturday: Railcomp. 
I won! =) We only had 3 runs each and the comp was really long and unfortunately not a jamsession wich would have been so much more fun! But I did my frontside hardway and "gubbtale" so it was awesome!

Sunday: Slopestyle. 
A third place! My line in the qualification was frontside lip, backside three, frontside three (in the biggest jumps) and some tricks in the halfpipe and on the box. I tried to do a frontside seven and I was sooo close but landed on the nockle. I got second in the qualifications. In the final runs I hade some problems with the speed so I did not managed to land my frontside five, landed on the nockle again and hurt my knee a bit. But I´m pretty stoked anyways. It was fun! Cicci Larsen got first and Jessica From got second.

The Big Air comp was cancelled because it was too windy. Too bad I think because I had really looking forward to throw myself in the Big Air! =)

Jimmy and Alec. A lot of hugs to Alec who hurt her self on a jump the first day! Get well soon!

A week in Åre

I´m sitting on the train on my way home to Uppsala again. I´ve been in Åre for a week shredding the Bräckepark. It has been so much fun riding in the slushy springpark. Bluebird and a lot of sun almost every day! It started with some powderdays because it has been snowing a lot lately in Åre wich was really necessary for the skiresort. It was not that much "pow pow" but we found a few places where we could take some nice turns and maybe get a nice picture wich Niclas Magnusson managed to take. I will put it here when I`ll get it from him.

My plan was to get some jump-filmshots from this week but i did not find anyone who had time to film so I´ll have to film another time.

I´m going back to Åre in one week again to work as a coach for a snowboard camp for girls. It´s a schoolproject that my friends have started. "No matter what" is the name of this project and it´s gonna be awesome and fun to inspire girls to start and keep shredding the park! =)

And maybe there will be time for some filming as well! =)

Now I´m gonna be home for one day and then I´m taking my car to Sälen and Kläppen for some snowboard SM in slopestyle and bigair! =)
