Today was the second day of practice, or the first one for me. They had done some major changes with the course, and I guess after what I heard it was a little better. The course contains of two rails and six jumps.... yes SIX jumps, it´s crazy and it kinda sucks, especially when not one single jump is good. The main problem, that people was working on figuring out was speed. The speed is really weird and the course has no flow at all. The second jump you have to straightline and you probably still land on the knuckle, You can actually stop after the third one and still get enough speed for the fourth and with wind changing every run it makes it really hard. Im just gonna say it, The course is really bad. ´´This is the worst course I have ever skied´´ Is a quote I have heard from a lot of skiers both yesterday and today. I guess that pretty much sums it up. we have practice for 1 hour tomorrow and 45 minutes before qualis on thursday, No idea how it´s gonna go. not feeling it at all.
Good night

Euro X-games. Tignes, France.
Arrived Tignes late last night. met up with Elvis Harsheim and Oscar Harlaut witch Im staying with. They were stuck at the bus station at the town below so with my brilliant charm I convinced her to pick them up. We went up to the town we were staying at, found our place, but we had no key!!! Elvis had talked to the lady he rented the place from who didn´t speak english. She said we had to go left, and then left, there we will find a boat where she had hidden the key. Obviously we didn´t find a boat in the middle of the french alps so we just ended up walking the streets for two hours in a desperate hope we would find a key. off course we didn´t find the key in the streets, what we did find thoug was a nice guy who tried his best to help us. Walked around town trying to find a booking agency that wasen´t closed..... nope.... after a good 4 hours freezing cold on the streets this guy offers us to stay at his place. Three complete strangers he just met. felt a little weird to just stay with a guy you didn´t know, but it was either that or freezing to death. So Russ (I belive his name was) thank you very much, your a hell of a guy.
Woke up this morning, soooo tired since we didn´t get any sleep. checked into our place, at that time the practice was mid way thru so we decided to chill today and rest up for tomorrow. didn´t seem like we missed anything though. according to the guys who skied the course was terrible. They said they had to change everything if they wanted this comp to work so I guess it´s a brand new course tomorrow.
PEACE

Way 2 many laps
I AM BEAT! Me and Andreas skied for 4 hours today And probably got just as much skiing done as you do for 4 days in a regular ski resort! the lap time for the 2 jumps at the skiresort is awesome, or it's perfect. You get on the lift right after you land And get off on top of the inrun for the first one. The railine we hit ten times each and then switch towing eachother up with the skidoo! So yeah, a lot of intense skiing = tired And sore back!

The backyard set up. Bad pic though, cant really see anything!

How we do at the Håtveit
After a quik stop by the Red Bull office I got in the car energized and ready for the drive up to the Håtveit's. After 5 hours on a narrow road in the middle of the woods, it suddenly opens up and I could see some lights in the distance, the lights got brighter for every meter. When I got close enough I see a inrun between to big towers going into a huge jump, beside the jump is a sick rail line. All of this was in the middle of a small town of condos. It looked F'ing sick. The jump wasen't completely shaped so we just sessioned the railline for a couple of hours. My railgame was a little rusty but a couple of days on that line I think I'll be allright!

The Håtveits has a pretty nice set up going on here, not only the private park in the backyard. They have a hotel and a bunch of really cozy condo's. They hooked me up with this condo where I live by my self. It's good to have a little space to relax after a hard day at the hill. So thanks Håtveit's, really apreciate it!!!

Fireplace by the tv.. Cozzzzy!!!

Kitchen.

Where the all the action happens!

Hot tub, where the action also happen'
Did'nt get any photos from the set up since I was to Busy skiing, but check back for some pics these NeXT couple of days..
Good night!

Jon..... you better watch out!!!
Årets første PK-seier from Fri Flyt TV on Vimeo.
Im really stoked on my first win of the season, and it was in my home resort so that made it so much better. My new life goal is to beat Jon Olsson at the 2014 olympics. but I guess we have to wait 4 years to see how that turns out.
Im in Oslo right now, getting ready to leave for Sudndalen to visit Andreas. as some of you might know he has a pretty sweet set up in his backyard so Im stoked to shred with him for a week. European X-games is closing up so it´s about time to get some real skiing down.
