is beeing uploaded to youtube as we speak. Also I will try to finish one more tricktip tomorrow afternoon, after work. A lot to do. And as it turns out, me and Thomas Dølplads are going to attend the Swedish Open slopestyle after Megapark at Oppdal. So I have to organize quite a few things tomorrow.

As I said, it takes a few hours to get an edit done. But this one is going to be pretty nice I think. Basically me and Eirik Børresen in Hafjell, easter holidays.. Yep. Just hang in there, it will be out pretty soon! Peace. [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/68/23/6823.jpeg[/IMG]
video and pictures takes a LOT of time. Right now I am way over the edge of things to do. Tricktips, edit from the easter holidays, pictures for the blog etc…. And between all this I try to ski as much as possible. Today was a good day. 4 good hours of skiing with Eirik [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/68/14/6814.jpeg[/IMG]
Since there are several tricktip videos online, I decided to do some of the tricks I have done a lot, to show you the best possible way to learn it. This is the frontflip, which I have done 1 million times I think.. haha. Enjoy! (Norwegian talking, but you can still see the basics.

As it turns out, several of you guys out there wants me to make tricktip videos. I am not by far the best skier there is, but I have decided to do just a few tricktip-videos of tricks I think you should learn, or do better than you allready have done. I have a little surprice [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/66/75/6675.png[/IMG]
Some of you have asked me if I could make trick-tips videos to post on my blog. I know that every skier has to start somwhere, in order to learn new tricks. I started on scratch myself. And yes, I know that Andreas Håtveit has made some himself, and that it might be gay to [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/66/19/6619.png[/IMG]
At least it feels like it is, even though it is just a part of the easter-holidays. All the stores are closed, Hafjell is rainy and foggy and I am not feeling to good… Still. I just wish there could be a way to ski good park, in sun, and no warm temperatures. I simply hate [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/66/12/6612.jpeg[/IMG]
I thought it would be fun to show you were I started my skiing adventure. It started here, in Storlien, Sweden. I got my first pair of skis (Salomon Vincent Dorion pro-mod) for christmas in 2004. Black park ahead! Ravinen. As it is now, the park is pretty simple. The park-guru up here has moved and quit [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/65/37/6537.jpeg[/IMG]

Since last time I posted something in here, I have been hanging out with my friends here at Storlien, and last night I went down for the night to pick up Ida, fresh from the train. Right now we are at Le Ski at Storlien, pimping it out in a nice hotel-room / condo just above [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/64/39/6439.jpeg[/IMG]
Today I realized 2 things: 1. My computer suck 2. I suck at editing video. But anyways, here is a small recap in moving pictures from the last two days. Nothing special, just a recap. [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/63/36/6336.png[/IMG]
Well, a pretty cool day actually. Started off early with a 30 minute skate-session on cross-country skis. Long time no see! I have to admit I was pretty exchausted after the skitrip up to the mountain. Good thing the sun was shining in the park, and me and Yngve took the shuffles to shape the railpark good. [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/63/23/6323.jpeg[/IMG]
Here are some of the shots we got, what do you think? Håkon is a pretty good photographer! [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/63/06/6306.jpeg[/IMG]
After the 5-6 hour drive home from Lillehammer, I stoped by a few hours at home. Instead of unpacking all my stuff, then leave the day after (today), I decided to drive straight to Storlien. Checked in on the hotel, and got my room. I think I was there for half-an-hour before I left to [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/62/99/6299.jpeg[/IMG]
Or if you can consider it a holiday when all I do is ski all winter. I think you can, cause it’s not as glamrous skiing as you think. Good to have some time off from competitions and hard skiing. Some times it is just good to relax for a week with friends, good food, [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/62/49/6249.jpeg[/IMG]
Just got home from Hafjell when I saw this picture from Andreas Håtveit’s backyard battle. How sick is that? REALLY sick. And the railsetup he has is off the hook too! I didn’t think I had energy to go skiing at all today, but I changed my mind and went to Hafjell. I am glad I [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/61/63/6163.jpeg[/IMG]
Right now I am trying to come up with reasons NOT to ski Hafjell. Unfortunately, I cannot come up with anything in particular. I guess it’s off to shred Hafjell, eventhough I just have my rocker-skis available. [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/61/56/6156.jpeg[/IMG]
Forgot to post some pictures from Håtveits backyard the other day, here they are: The jump, pretty slushy and hard to land the first day I was there, but it had fallen some snow for the next day, and the landing did settle a little more. I got to hit it switch too. I was pretty [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/60/55/6055.jpeg[/IMG]
Went a little too early to Hafjell today. Slushy and warm afternoons doesn’t mix too good together with freezing cold nights. Every single track made with the cat last night had turned into the most frightening death-course I used to call park. With no edges, ice got me and I had to give up after [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/59/75/5975.jpeg[/IMG]
