travel starts

in 40 minutes I´m off, train to stockholm, then I leave to france early tomorrow. It´s " le mondial" or something down there. It´s like a kick off event for the resort les 2 alpes. things that has happened past years at le mondial: Ben (one of the guys behind bataleon) left the bar with his friend, random dude shows upp and gives them one punch each in the face, ben gets a black eye, his friend broke his nose, my friend emil got his front toth knocked in by a cop and the fucked up thing is that the cop used his head for this, the reason: he used the work fuck... one year their was a riot, cars burning etc. some year one guy mysteriously got lost for some weeks, later they found him at the bottom of a 100m cliff, accident? who knows...?? this is only a few things that has happened over the past years at "le mondial". so wich me luck and hope to be alive after the weekend. monday I´m leaving france to go to safe austria again for a bataleon catalog shoot! thank good!!


normal day at le mondial in les 2 alpes! looks like fun times!!

a bit of all

I´ve been on it today! doing laundry in the morning, packing my boardbag, walking the dogs, and I took a 2,5 h walk with my digicam to see if I could find any new spots (for those who don´t know what I´m talking about when I say spot, I mean, a spot in the city where I can ride my snowboard, could be a hand rail, wall etc) here in falun. people always say, new year new eyes, wich means you saw some spot last year but you didn´t think it was anything, but then you see it this year again and it´s a killer spot! this normally means you find like 1 new spot with your brand new eyes... but during my search through town I found shit loads of new stuff! offcourse super secret for you guys though! moahhahaa
after all this I got really hungry and since frida was in school I had to deal with the food myself! doohh. I made "plättar", french people have crepes instead of pancakes swedes have plättar, it´s a pancake but smaller.... really original!! 

hope I´m gonna be able to sleep tonight, been having this sketchy irritating caugh over the past nights, probably gonna have it tonight to, hate it!!

packed down my brand new sweater, mom made it for me. another one coming soon with perfection!

making "plättar" the most gay way possible! haha

doesn´t this rail look like it´s taken straight from a tony hawk pro skater location? really weird color combo! it´s probably not doable with the short inrun, but maybe. would look sick!

dark skating and reality showin

frida has been studying with here friends all day so I´ve been restless, around 5 pm I couldn´t take it anymore so I phoned my good friend emil forss, and told him we´re going sakting, he had just woken up, since he is working odd hours. offcourse he was skeptic by the fact that it was all dark outside, but we went! totally better than doing nothing but skating in daylight when it´s not like +5 celsius only, it´s way better... tried to take some photos but pocket cameras aren´t well known for taking good pics while dark as you might know!

at the moment I´m watching "färjan" on tv. It´s a reality show from one of the party boats going between stockholm and helsinki. If you been on one of those boats you can imagine how good this show is! it´s just a whole bunch of drunk people between 16-60 years old partying with no rules on the ocean, ohh and did I mention that most people are scandinavian and it´s cheep booze!! hahahaha. they make people sign some forms that it´s ok for them to film them during the night, people sign the form, get shit wasted and do stuff they REALLY regret in the morning, specailly when they realize everybody in sweden will watch it later on tv!! haha


this is one of the guards working on the boat, her behavior is comparable with a german shepherd, great instict when it comes to capture criminals, but she is mostly catching really really drunk people, and let me tell you, she is enjoying it more than sex!

fs tail slide if you look really close!


"shadow of the living shred" ready to shred!

"darth slider" getting ready

scaryyyy

yesterday I had a chill evening, and desided to try out different beers, it was really nice and I´m considering this as my new hobby!

today I´ve been mostly just hanging around, it´s sunday so you don´t need to do anything anyways! been watching a bunch of movies and I THINK me and frida might watch "the strangers" soon, we have seen the trailer and it seems scary as shit, and I´m that kind of guy that really gets freaked out after watching a really scary movie! frida probebly gets even more scared! we tried to watch it yesterday but we didn´t have confidence so we´re gonna give it another shoot later tonight!


here´s the candidates, random order in the pic.
and the results:
1. grolsch
2.primator
3. san miguel
4. lapin kulta
5. budweiser
6. starobrno

ticket booking

today gidlund was here and we needed to book some tickets to get back from the next trip. we have flights to france, but then we are going to austria again and no ticket to get back home from there, so we looked at tickets at SAS homepage, gidlund just found shitty tickets and i found a really good one, but he really couldn´t find the one I had so I booked it for me and was laughing at gidlund cause he really couldn´t find it! few seconds after confirming the payment I realize my misstake, I had booked the ticket from stockholm-zurich not zurich- stockholm like I should have done..... damn, now the joke was on me! luckily for me some dude at sas helped me cancel it with no extra charge, thanx!! but still no ticket, need to get one soon!

cheers for weekend everybody! 

day dreaming

as soon as I have nothing to do during the day a start dreaming away. Looking on huge mansions, the most expensive cars, boats etc. I so badly wanna get a house, I dont like living in an appartment, I wanna have a huge backyard to play around in and build fun stuff in! more exactly here´s my future house: nice house with alot of space, sick rooms with cool features, huge backyard next to a lake, on the backyard I´m gonna have a track for my MX (future MX), sick mini ramp to skate, pool, sauna, huge hangaround with grill for the big bbq:s, trampolin, a sick wakeboat in the lake. I heard from somebody that you have to dream big, so thats what I´m doing!

now I´m gonna continue my search for the perfect house! see ya later

something like this would do it for me, frida wants it more cosy but I´m going for the royal style! haha

our dogs get way to much attention! this is how I woke up this morning, they don´t leave you for a second!

backhome again

on thuesday we had the last riding day, another day of bluebird but bad weather coming in. so we decided to start drive back home later that day. last day was probebly also the most fun riding, finnish guys were going crazy on the kickers as always, and we got some of it on film so check out the short movie we are gonna make about the trip later!
trip back home was loooong, more exactly 2300km. took us about 25 h. offcourse we had some trouble along the road, like me almost getting busted by the cops driving to fast, gidlund making a wrong turn so we ended up on the country side instead of the highway, and while being on the country side the gps went out of batteries adn we had no charger and cause of that wrong turn he also got busted by the cops, 280€ and almost lost his license.... haha, he was not so stoked after that and I had to drive home the rest of the trip cause he was driving like grandma´after he got busted!! haha. now I´m back home and gonna chill for a while in falun, next trip is next thursday when I´m flying to les 2 alpes in france, the most sketchy place on planet earth and then drive from there to hintertux again for a catalog shoot with bataleon.

doris one of me and fridas dogs where stoked like there was no tomorrow when I got back, she is still shaking that tail!

nice morning view from the bridge between denmark and sweden

this is how much gas we had while driving on the bridge, and no backup!!

hahahhaha, karma strikes again for gidlund

last run of the trip, but we will be back soon!

roadtrip update

one small part of helsinki (all of helsinkis population is in hintertux right now!)

I couldn´t order normal tap water so I had to buy this thing that didn´t even taste good, 5,5€ yeah!

Gidlunds brand new stance, looking sooooooo good now!

freestylin and trying to impress people in the lift line!

our filmer mikael getting ready for work!!

it´s hard to update the blog often when your in a country like austria! people here don´t know what internet is, and if you wanna pay with your visa in the supermarket they just look like a big questionmark! they need to get with the program, it´s 2008! haha.

anyways we´ve had to long riding days now with blue bird so our faces are all red and dry cause we refuse to ride with googles down and get a sketchy google tan! today we were up in hintertux filming with Mikael, a new guy working for methodmag, sick dude to hang out and film with!

tomorrow we might have our last riding day, we´re not shure yet, depends on the weather, so we probably leave and go back home pretty soon to sweet sweden! but first we need just one drinkin night with the finnish people, theis awsome!

updates from austria

so whats been goin on the past days of our roadtrip? 2 days ago we had a chillin day to recharge our batteries. pretty much felt like we were in sweden that day, first talking swedish to basti (he went to the swedish snowboard school) and viktor (new swedish pirate filmer), then driving my own car with Gidlund, and then eat meat balls at ikea, good way to spend your chillin day. later that night we got some new place to stay at in mayrhofen and now we actually have a beds to sleep in!


yesterday we just went up to hintertux to ride again, almost frooze our balls of and went back home.


today we went to kaunertal, for their park opening. they told me it´s like the biggest in austria or europe don´t remember. was this contest their with some jumps and mini shred park, mini shred was fun but the jumps sucked donky dick big time! me and gidlund did some interviews for some tv thing then left the mountain quick and drove back home! sick views on the way down the mountain! even saw a mountain hobo on the way down! those are rare!


now we are back in mayrhofen again were we gonna stay i think for the rest of the trip, and ride in hintertux!

just like home!

few seconds later gidlund does blunt kickflip here! gnarly!!!!

micky d after skate session with my vans team manager beckna!

when your 2000m above sea level or higher your not a hobo, your a mountain hobo!

when the park sucks what else can you do?

nothing fun to report...........

another riding day. today it felt like we havn´t slept, ever!!!! our average sleeping time is probebly 4-5 hours per night for almost a week with heavy partys sketchy driving and snowboarding, so maybe thats the reason! at the moment gidlund is trying to make his stance tighter since he rides with the widest stance in the world, it´s not going to well, he has no idea what he is doing!! haha. things that has happened today: we almost got killed standing on the jump, when some dude drifted like it´s no tomorrow, finnish kid niki did 2 cork and catched his heel edge like there was no tomorrow, I can do bs 7s again tjohooo, some cow outside of bastis house wanted to eat me like there was no tomorrow!!

bastis neighbors. they may look innocent but they just wanna kill you!

in austria!!

Yihaaaaaaa we are in austria. took us around 24 h, not too bad I would say. We did a whole bunch of stops, did one bbq on the way with hotdogs! really dellicious! I did the worst call ever when I told Gidlund he has to drive the first part of the road, thaugh it was a good call since we had some hard parties the days before, but stupied as I am I dont sleep at all while he is driving so 22pm when it´s my turn to drive I am just about to fall asleep so my next 5 h drive was hardcore!  trip facts, time: 24h, average fuel consumption: 5,7/100km, times almost falling asleep while driving: about 5, stops: way to many! top speed: 160km/h (it´s hard with full packed 64 hp car with boards on the roof)

this is what an erected carrot penis would look like if they had one...
hotdog bbq!! sweet
new shades and p.i.m.p grill for the dogs!

roadtrip day 1

The official roadtrip has started we are on our way to austria and so far it´s been a blast. we are at the moment eating burgers at Max in Malmö and using their free internet.

fuckin awsome!

I´m sitting now at a hotel room down town Gothenburg. All alone, Frida just left the room to go back to falun and I´m waiting to get kind of sober again so me and Gidlund can start our 2000km drive to austria! It felt like the driving was going to be so much funnier when I though about it yesterday! anyways no complaning, specially not after a weekend like this one! on friday we packed the lupo full with our gear and managed to fit in me, frida and gidlund still! We drove to oslo and went on the pirate premiere there, ok night nothing more really... in oslo they have premiers for all movies in the snow business at the same time so our premiere was just another event it felt like... day after though on saturday, ohhhh what a day! again life is good, really good! Woke up in some nice part of oslo (in dannys appartment) blue bird, everybody stoked and happy. Started driving towards gothenburg 11 o clock and the pirate premiere there, offcourse I had to drive. I did some sketchy driving but we are alive now so all good! haha. we got some nice hotel in gothenburg really close to the party wich was at some place called "gamle port". It was Putte who made the whole thing happen so, big thanx Putte! sick, fun party. I hate driving my car in gothenburg but you just got to love the people so it adds up pretty good! one main thing yesterday, Hans Åhlund  proposed to his girlfriend Marie and she said yes! Congratulations! way to go broooow. dude cant stop thinkin about yesterday, it was off le hook! ehhhh now I think I have to get ready, take a shower, sober up and start driving to Austria! hakona matata bitches! ohh and snowboard ledgend kosse is doing a comeback this year! watch out everybody!
