There is not one certain way of using your GoPro camera. You can for instance use two at the same time, and point one at one of the best parkskiers in the world. Check out this one! [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/25/85/2585.jpeg[/IMG]
This week I have been doing some additional filming with my GoPro Helmet-hero camera. It’s a point-of-view camera which I put on top of my helmet, and it enables me to show you how park-skiing really looks like from a skiers point-of-view. It’s truly amazing how near reality you can come with this camera. Everything [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/25/65/2565.jpeg[/IMG]
There are some days you just feel you have to go out and ski, eventhough you are dead beat. Today was one of these days, sunny outside, booring inside at the motel. I hate days off like this, and at 12 I couldn’t take it anymore. I took the bus to Breck. While waiting I found [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/25/53/2553.jpeg[/IMG]
So this is the place we are staying at for the next month; Snowshoe Motel, Frisco. Bus-stop just outside – > Instant shred! Had to get something to eat after skiing all day. We figured TacoBell was the place to go today. They actually have a lot of shops around the US. 21 443 atleast! Empty? [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/25/04/2504.jpeg[/IMG]
Today I woke up fresh after a good 10 hours of sleep, jetlag is fading away – Awesome! Went to Breck with an early bus, and was up in the slopes at 10. Had a good 5-hour session up there, SO much fun. I have never experienced so much fun while skiing ever, and I [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/24/93/2493.png[/IMG]
Yesterday I found out I had got the height-sickness. That pretty much means I have gone too high above sea-level too quick, and my head has swollen up = bad headache. Well I decided to go to Breck anyways, something I don’t regret afterwards. Me and Marius Kjølseth did some hot laps throughout the medium [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/24/49/2449.jpeg[/IMG]

Hungry for a good park? Well you’ve come to the right place, cause this is park-heaven! Every obstacle, jump, quarterpipe, rail, you name it.. Are perfect set up. It takes some time to get used to the large jumps though. But once you’ve learned the transitions and landings, it’s all good. Picture above shows the [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/24/00/2400.jpeg[/IMG]
Todays rounds: Have we been skiing Keystone A-51 today? Yes! – Are we jetlaged? Yes! – Is it worth it, when you can ski everyday in the best park worldwide? Yes Yes Yes!!! Lars-Håkon and Elvis on the way up to Keystone. 8.30 bus up, early in the park = no lift-lines. Got here late night [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/23/52/2352.jpeg[/IMG]
YES, I did make it! 26,5 hours since I left from home in cold Lillehammer, I’m in my motel-room in Frisco, Colorado. Staying here with Hans-Jacob, a dude from Oslo. I am so sick and tired of the American safety-regulations due to the constant threath of terror. Thanks al-qaida! Gotta get some rest, tired after the [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/23/17/2317.gif[/IMG]
It’s been more than one year, and 850 hours at work since last time. The time is near! Tomorrow morning I am leaving for USA and Colorado, together with a shitload of Norwegians. It’s going to be crazy! The park in Breckenridge is looking better than ever before, and I must admit that I have [...][IMG][/IMG]
Yesterday was just as cold as any day before, but it is fun shreddin the park when it’s sunny and winter! Me and Magnus took a few laps through the park and did some airfollows. Makes it easier to see what’s going on in the air and so. Right now I’m trying to figure out everything [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/22/16/2216.png[/IMG]
Today I had my best day skiing in a long time, funny how everything all of a sudden works out the way you want. I made this video especially for you, 2 minutes of pure Hafjell epicness. Make sure to set HD on! [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/21/02/2102.png[/IMG]
I forgot to post this video, but I like it. [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/20/94/2094.png[/IMG]
I have spent my newyears eve at Kvitfjell, skiing in daytime, and beeing with friends throughout the night. Really nice evening. Right now I am about to get dressed for Hafjell, and Ida is supposed to join me in, and maybe record some runs for fun. She is asleep though. Have to wait. There are not [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/20/87/2087.jpeg[/IMG]
Yesterday was my first day in Hafjell after the main park opened. 3 jumps, a bunch of jibs and a shoot-out rail. It was freezing cold outside, and the speed was kind of sticky, so I didn’t quite get the hold of the jumps. I think they need some minor adjustments, a little longer transitions [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/20/01/2001.jpeg[/IMG]
Got up in good time for a morning coffee today. Today I will pack my gear and jump in the car. A 6 hour drive to Lillehammer is on the agenda, and Hafjell is my target for the next couple of days. Hopefully I will get to shoot some tricks and make an edit with [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/19/49/1949.png[/IMG]
Today I couldn’t sit inside for a single more minute, I had to get out. I drove out to Vassfjellet skiresort, and hit the slopes there. Not much snow yet, a few rails/boxes/pipes out, but mostly just fooling around having fun. My skis had come to an end, and there was not any edges left [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/18/84/1884.jpeg[/IMG]
I am back from Finland days ago, and I am at my parents home in Hommelvik. Good to be home, especially when I only get to come here 5-6 times a year. There are not to much snow up here, so today we went for a small hike before going to chruch and all that [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/18/56/1856.jpeg[/IMG]
Well the waiting-time is over, I finally got to see what they are like. Got these in the mail today, couldn’t be more stoked about them! 2011 modell of the Salomonj SPK pro modell boots. Looks like lime-green are the shit for next year. In 10 months or so, you will be able to buy them [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/17/33/1733.jpeg[/IMG]
