Still at X

Im still alive and still in Aspen.
going a little better, the course is still very tight and very scary,
but after riding it a lot im getting more and more used to it.
The course is really challenging, just so you get an idea.
at every slopestyle comps you get like 10 practice runs
at the most. we have been practicing for 3 days now, no idea
how many runs I have done. after all this practice you should
pretty much have your run dialed by now, but I don´t think
there´s anybody who actually have done their whole run yet.

todays practice we got a little taste of what the weather is going
to be like on sunday and I have to say, it´s not looking that good.
today went from rain, to pretty good, to snowstorm.
Really hard with the speed, one run you could knuckle every jump,
next run you could overshoot every single one. kinda like last year,
that sucks for me.

The course claimed yet another victim today, fellow skier JF Houle
broke his ankle on the second jump. Im not a 100% but im pretty sure
he broke his ankle. Like I said the speed was really weird today so
he came up a little short and didn´t expect it.

Slope practice and Big air is up tomorrow.
after watching snowboard big air last night I have to say that im not
that stoked anymore. The voting system is pretty stupid I think.
we´ll see.

No card reader yet, no pics... sorry ;)

  4. You should have won that Big Air Gold!
    How does a double front beats a perfect db 12?
    Hope you rip the shit out of that slope, and bring the victory back home to Norway!!!!!!!
