Back and forth, all the time. Yesterday was a long day, just as expected, with delayed flight and train to Oslo. Got to bed at 02.00 am, and now I am ready to rock with Salomon Jib Academy in Ringkollen just outside Oslo. Relaxing at the hotel before heading out in an hour, should be [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/76/14/427614.jpeg[/IMG]
Today I got to do something fun, coach skiers from my homeplace, at my home-resort, Storlien. Stoked skiers in the storm. It was hard to do anything at all today, with the 10 m/s winds and snow, but noone can call all youths lazy! We were out all day kicking it! Fun day, all in [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/70/97/427097.jpeg[/IMG]
Long day yesterday, again. Just crawled out of bed and had breakfast at Hotel Storlien at LeSki, in Storlien, Sweden. We had a mellow night in Budapest on Saturday night, as our flight was at 1150 this morning. Our flight was through Oslo before Trondheim. I got to spend two hours at home, repacking for [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/69/59/426959.jpeg[/IMG]
Late night out last night, checking out the nightlife. Pretty fun! We were totally in tourist-mode today, trying to see what Buda had to offer us Norwegians. Really beautiful city to wander around in, and the weather helped us out today. Perfect day! Budapest is divided into two parts, Buda- and Pest. You can see [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/64/29/426429.jpeg[/IMG]
Lovely to get a little time off skiing and get recharged for the busy period to come. 0630 flight from Trondheim this morning, and I got to sit in the cockpit for the first time with a friend that works in the airline we flew with. Super-excited to finally beeing able to do so. I [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/59/86/425986.jpeg[/IMG]
Time to go abroad, Budapest it is! Beer and spa for the weekend. See you there. S.[IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/58/69/425869.jpeg[/IMG]
A complete whiteout scenery was what met me in the morning-hours today. I was hoping for a little sunshine but I was wrong. The groomed park from last night had snowed completely over, and the wind had made it even more hard to ski. In fact, I spent 30 minutes digging out the shape of [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/55/55/425555.jpeg[/IMG]
Looks like he has stopped thinking and started skiing. Looks like so much fun every day! [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/48/47/424847.png[/IMG]
I think that will be my new winter-motto! Everything is more than nothing, right? After yesterdays not so successful session in Meråker, I was hungry for a little skiing today. The only problem was that my alarm-clock was set at 0330 am to go to work, and that did not get me on a pair [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/48/29/424829.jpeg[/IMG]
As the title states, this have been two very interesting days. Yesterday I was tricked to join a urban-mission in Trondheim. Frankly, urban rails and hits is something I am not very comfortable with. Mostly because it scares me, but also because it’s hard to get enough speed, and when you get enough speed you [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/37/20/423720.jpeg[/IMG]
Just to give you an idea of the jump-size in Hafjell this weekend. Totally insane that it’s not possible to create slopestyle-courses with jumps larger than 5 meters. I can do switch tens any time on medium-sized jumps, but when it get’s smaller than 10 meters, it’s hard. And to be honest, I think we [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/30/01/423001.jpeg[/IMG]
Just got home after a hectic weekend in Lillehammer. My competition-skills fell apart on Saturday, as I lost one of my skis in both of the two final runs. I landed my tricks well, but go unlucky and the ski fell off. Well, better luck next time. I had tons of fun last night with [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/22/90/422290.png[/IMG]
Todays agenda was to drive the 360 km to Lillehammer. Kind of booring when the traffic is slow and you have no-one to talk to while driving. Good thing the weather was epic along the way. Really positive to see some sunlight in the cold and dark country this time of year. Right now I [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/14/62/421462.jpeg[/IMG]
In 2003 or 2004, I recieced my first skis in form of a Christmas present. They were a pair of Salomon 1080′s Vincent Dorion promodel. They were two year old, used demo-skis, with barely a rear tip to go switch with. I had pink skiboots, bought at a garage-sale for 20$, they were too big [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/09/72/420972.jpeg[/IMG]

I have been sick for a week now, but I got tired of it and drove up to Storlien to finish the park there. We called it a night at 3 in the morning I think. 3 mellow nice jumps. Daniel finishing the top shape of jump nr 1. Landing nr 2. First day of [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/09/23/420923.jpeg[/IMG]
4th day strike right now, couch – painkillers – sleep – crazy dreams…. I hope this thing can stop pretty soon, so I can go skiing.[IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/41/94/45/419445.jpeg[/IMG]
It’s fun to follow Bob on his adventures. You should too! [IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/41/93/86/419386.png[/IMG]
I have been totally out of capacity to blog for the last two days due to sickness. It has to be atleast a year since last time I had the flu, but it sucks whenever you get it. Well, I did go skiing in Åre second day in a row on Thursday with Vegard Hokstad [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/41/85/69/418569.jpeg[/IMG]
Check out the big line in Hafjell. Looking clean. Loving the rails in the bottom section.[IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/41/75/13/417513.png[/IMG]
