Shred´n breakfast

Shred' n Breakfast - Episode 7 from Shred' n Breakfast on Vimeo.


Season 2 premiere, Shred´n breakfast. pretty good!

The rumble didn´t go so good. I don´t know what happened, if i couldn´t handle the icy take off or if I just had a really bad day. I feel im getting mad just thinking about it so let´s just say that I did the three worst jumps I´ve done in probably 10 years and leave it at that.

Enjoy the episode.

ready to rumble


Yesterday we had another session on the Jump. I haven´t done anything bigger than a 9 cause I can´t figure the jump out. I don´t know what it is, but the speed is really hard to get right. It´s qualifyers tonight. 32 skiers, 16 moves on to the finals. It´s hard to say how it´s gonna go for me since im not feeling to good on this jump. Hopefully I can figure it out and land 2 good tricks. The format is 3 jumps best 2 counts. Wish me good luck :)


I got my G11 camera yesterday so im just gonna upload some pics i took.


Is Sig Tveit and Alex turning to the other side ?


Jon showed me how to take pics with shutter speed and all that.


This is my proudest art work from last night. nice shot from the fireplace in the lobby.

Time to get ready for some skiing. Here we go!

Sweet Camp


A video from Trysil today.

Today was sick. we woke up early, skied for a bit, went back to the hotel and chilled till the night session was on. the park here is pretty sick. At least to be this early, a good park in Norway is pretty much unheard of before christmas/new years.

We got to try out the Big jump today, It seemed like a really good jump but it was hard to get to comfertable today cause it was a bit windy. But if the wind settle down I think shit will go down.

Tomorrow is another day. im waiting for a cannon G11 camera that I think will come tomorrow so I´ll try to give u some pics.

Peak Performance King Of Style finals 2010 at Stadium Winterjam from Visualante on Vimeo.


found this vidoe of the finals on vimeo.

This weekend didn´t turn out to be as good as I hoped. Oscar told me saturday morning that I was up against Andreas in the first battle, so allready then I knew that it was a good chance that I was going out in the first run. And that´s exactly what happend. Andreas skied really well though, He just learned a new grab variation in practice. I guess it´s dub mute to octo or something crazy like that. So beeing beaten by Andreas wasen´t that huge of a dissapointment.

im gonna keep this short cause im just about to get in the car and drive to Trysil. The Sweet Rumble jump will be ready tomorrow so we get to session it all week. Being able to hit a jump on a real hill with real snow sure is gonna feel good right now.

Return of PK from Fri Flyt TV on Vimeo.


Filip made this video. A little edit that show´s you what i´ve being doing since I broke my neck.


Here´s a movie that Red Bull made from Budapest.


Im driving down to stockholm tomorrow with Lasse and Kim, qualification for the king of style starts at 5ish. hope we make it.
Today I took a wrong turn in a roundabout and didn´t realize that I had to turn around before I got a textmessage from Telenor (ATNT). ´Welcome to Norway, prizes for textmessage.........´ Yeah, im stupid. So, it´s not impossible for us to miss it tomorrow. I guess if the other guys stay awake we´ll be fine:)

Lasse were'nt that happy that we went to the airport one day too early. We had to buy a new ticket since we booked the first one for monday, not sunday!




I drove to Kim's place in sweeden yesterday, I heard they had a pretty good jump so why not! The jump is very icy today and really not that good, so im just shooting the other guys for their new Shred'n breakfast episode. Coming soon!

Qualification




This is the only pic I managed to take today! Nice sunset over the town though.

Today was qualifyers, like yesterday the whole thing got delayed, but after a couple of hours it was practice time! Speed was an issue during practice. i made it over the knuckle, actually I landed sweetspot every time, but since the jump is so small we need to go a little bigger than that to have enough time to do your trick. At least I have to.
Of course they salted the inrun in between the practice and the qualification. Of course that was really good for me since I needed more speed, but it was kinda scary to do the first ten when I wasen't sure what the speed was like! I was the sixth person to drop, so I kinda got a feel of the speed by watching the people before me. I hear the starter calling my name, here we go, 5 seconds later im at the bottom riding out of a dub 10! After all the contests over the years u devolope a pretty good feel of what u have to do make it in to finals or win for that matter. After I landed the 10 and watching all the other guys in practice i was pretty much a 100% sure I was in the finals! I was right. Qualified third after Russ and Elias.

Tomorrow is semi-finals and finals. Three jumps, two best counts and the two jumps have to be different of course. This meaning that I have to land switch, this is something im not looking forward to. Im way more worried about the transition at the bottom than the trick itself! So tomorrow I can maybe place pretty good or get last place. Time will show!

Good night

Budapest - Fridge




Tourists in Budapest!



Red Bull is hooking us up big time down here. Today they took us to a ''thermal bath''. A place where they had like a million pools and other pimp shit like that!



Oscar really wanted to go for a massage, but we talked him out of it.


After the bath they took us to the oldest and pimpest resturant in Budapest. It was really ''expensive'', funny thing is that a main course was the same prize as a pizza in Norway! But you can't really compare anything to Norway though, Norway is way to expensive. This resturant was about 8 times more expensive than an regular resturant down here, and the food was amazing!



At 2 o'clock it was time for practice!



4 hours later it was on:) yeah, it got delayed quite a bit! The Jump was far from perfect and the landing was really soft. One guy managed to land switch cause of the transition at the bottom! Lolo Favre was the guy, he's stroooong! Hopefully they do what we told them to do for tomorrow and make it better.



Last I want to say to the ladies of Budapest, Ur HOT!! This is me falling in love with 9 dancer chicks, They were ok dancers as well:)

Good night!

Home sweet home, good bye

I can feel now that im getting my old lifestyle back. Traveling all over the world, come home for a couple og days and then back at it! It's a little stressfull at times, living in a bag. But it's all worth it.



Winter is here in Norway. We don't have any natural snow yet but the temperature has dropped below zero so it's just a question of time. I did get to do some rails when I was home though. The Field Production rail jam came to Lillehammer this weekend. I knew I had no shot at even placing top 5, but it was fun, and really scary. Im more of a ''box-fun'' guy rather than single bar rails down stairs and crazy shit like that! Like I expected crazy good kids was throwing down all day. I found myself not being able to land any tricks in the final so I just took of my skis and helmet and watched the show, witch was crazy! I guess Wallisch was right, 450's is the new 270's.



At the afterparty a bunch of my friends from the band ''sixty pieces of gum'' was playing! Really funny to see them just going bananas on stage with car tires, christmas trees and a chainsaw!

Speaking of getting my old lifestyle back. Im on the train to the airport, im going to Budapest. It's another incity big air. I don't know if it's the first time they have it, I haven't heard about it before. Im pretty stoked to go Budapest, I never been before, I heard it's a really cool town and im there for 5 days so I actually have time to take a look around. Anyone been there before? Any tips of what I should go check out?

London update and gym edit

Heming Vol. 174 from Shred' n Breakfast on Vimeo.


A gym edit from 3 weeks ago.

After a weekend in London I left the capital of England with a 7th place. Not a super good result, but after practice on saturday and sunday I have no choice to be happy with it. I had such bad practices that I seriously considered dropping out of the event. The jump was pretty small so I didn´t have time to get a grab on my 10. I kept landing on the second line in the landing witch was the sweet spot of the jump, but I had to go bigger if I wanted a chance to make it around. After a short break it was time for the first run to ty to qualify into semi-finals. I had nr 1 on my jersey and was the first one to drop. I tried to get as much speed as possible and what the starter on top forgot to tell me and shared with the rest of the guys right after I drop is that they have salted the inrun. As a result I landed like 5 feet past the last line in the landing.
of course I eat shit, but I landed my second run and made it thru. Semi-finals was head to head with 2 runs, best one counts. Kind of a weird format. I met PC Fosse in the first battle, He fell on both his runs so I made it thru to the top 8. Next up is Russ Henshaw. Im up first, I hit something on the take off but still manage to get it around to ten, A really bad ten tough. Russ falls on a sw dub 10. Second round, I do probably the best 10 of my weekend, and russ lands a sick sw dub 9. I get scored a 84, the same score as my first jump something I find a little weird, Russ get´s a 85 and moves on.
That was my experience of the London Freeze 2010. Not the best comp I´ve ever done, but I´ll take it.
