riding day inmammoth

today has been probably the most fun i´ve had since a looooong time, so fun park here, slush sun fun dudes, I love it! we woke up like 6 in the morning all jetlaged and hungover, some breakfeast and then we hit the slopes all day with only water brakes!! we´re gonna make a short movie from the weekend, seems like it´s gonna be awsome! 

yesterdays party was fun, good premier for pirates! MFM (snowboard legend) was dj:ing. I managed to go from the premier party to another bar, they guard asked for id card, I just said i didn´t have one (in us you have to be 21 and I´m only 20) but I´m 21 so it´s ok, and he wouldn´t let me in, after a while I justed walked in and said "sorry but I just need to go in" and he did nothing... haha. stoked!

I love this place, so fun in usa cause you can just walk around and say hey whats up or how´s it going to everybody and there all sooo stoked haha. their politeness is fake but I´s still fun!!

now me, sani and danny are going for some autograph signing.

flights flights flights

I´m writing this offline since I´m sitting on a plane at the moment, between new york and LA. I´m gonna post it as soon as I get to my hotel in LA and have internet!

I´ts 11.45 am local time here, my trip so far has been one of the smoothest ever! on my flight stockholm- new york I had 3 seats for myselfe so I even managed to get some sleep wich I never get if I only have 1 seat, I really can´t sleep sitting up! watched some movies on the entertainment systems they have onboard. "journey to the center of the earth" was the frst one, really really really bad movie if you ask me! bad effects bad acting boring in every way pretty much! 2nd movie was "henry poole is here", pretty good. slow movie but really deep, so if you like deep movies watch this one ;). also I watched austin powers gold member, but everybody already knows that this movie rocks!!

when i got to new york I had to clear customs as always, and I hate it, my hands are almost shaking when I give the dude my passport, tickets and custom papers, they freak me out, ask a whole bunch of questions and look at you like a possible terrorost or some crazy drug dealer!

When I was through the customs wich went pretty easy this time actually I cruised to my gate and saw the first celebrity of the trip, he´s even onboard this plane infront of me, don´t really know his name though, haha! but it´s that super rich evil dude in "mr deeds" that tries to take over mr deeds company! awsome, hoping for some more celebs while I´m in LA, haha!!

now I´m gonna watch chuck and soon arrive in LA, coooool.

mini austin!

the dude from mr deeds, hard to se I know! but it´s him, i promise!!!

arriving in LA, pretty sweet!

unpacking- repacking

today I unpacked all my stuff from my trip, when I was done I straight had to pack new shit in my boardbag for the next trip. My alarm on my phone is on 04.45 am. I´ts gonna be a long day tomorrow, start my travelling at 5 am and I´ll be in LA at 5 pm local LA time (-9h I think), so almost 24 h travelling. It´s gonna be a cool trip I think though! hopefully get some nice sun in my face, would be a nice change from swedens winter darkness. 

I´ll make a report as soon as I get to my hotel in LA!

airport

sad to say we still havn´t got one sunny day, this shoot was a disaster, but I guess it works out anyway. It always does!

sitting at the airport in Zurich at the moment it´s 11.00, our flight leaves at 16.30, and we started driving towards zurich at 4.30 this morning cause Gulli had an early flight! not cool!! Me, Gidlund and finnish rider Aleksi have been driving the rental car around Zurich for 2 h trying to kill time and to get the front weels to spin, but it´s hard with a mini van with 1,7l tdi haha. we managed to get some hollywood sounds coming from the tires at least! 

I  really love snowboarding and all that but the travelling... hate it big time, so much waiting, no sleeping, uncomfortable seats, bad food and so on. Hope i get really rich soon so i can start travel in style, like flying first class, getting to and from the airport in a limo, and staying at 5 star hotels, then I would be totally fine with the travelling, except I would miss my girl... you cant get around that! but if I promise her some shopping maybe she will come with me... haha.

hoping that time goes fast today so I get home soon, I´m gonna be home in falun at 22.30 tonight, then i only have one day in falun before I have to do the travelling all over again, 1 week in california, ride some snowboard, be on some tv show and a radio show. Got some pre interview questions couple of days ago for the show, 5 pages in word with really hard questions, havn´t answeared them all yet cause their super hard, don´t know how I´m gonna make it for real over there when I can´t even answear the questions on my computer when I have lots of time to think!!! sketchy stuff.

now i´m gonna down load a south park episode!

over and out

the old crew back together, my friends and old class buddies jonas carlsson and jonte nilsson were also hanging out in hintertux, there going home tomorrow so those basterds get the only sunny day of the week! we didn´t get one........
