Jib Academy world finals rolls on in Mammoth, California with slushy park, great skiers and sunny weather. I’m skiing hotlaps all day with Johan Niemi (the Swedish JIb-Ac winner) and Christian Nummedal (the Norwegian Winner). So much fun with no pressure, just skiing what ever you like. Kind...
Never thought I get to see Mammoth while I was an active skier. Well, guess I was wrong cause here we are, me and Christian Nummedal for the Salomon Jib Academy world finals!
Flew in from Trondheim last night with a small pitstop in London and L.A before Mammoth Lakes, and Mammoth Mountain. Hot...
Wow, I had such a great day at Storlien today. I though the season was over after our little springbrake, with a lot of work and school coming up, but I was wrong! Last night me and Marius decided we would give it a last try with the good weatherforecast for today. He had to be back at work just...
Just got back online after a few hectic days to say the least. Long days and late nights with awesome people and good times. Finished 4th in Jacob Wester’s trickbag challenge after a bit windy and snowy day. Railjam with 7 tricks to the table, where of all tricks had to be different! Vincent...

I fell in my first out of two runs, and I thought everything was...
Practice is about to start here in Storlien with riders-meeting. 20-30 competitors in the field, and 10 moves on to the finals tomorrow. Wish me luck!
So, day one of Jacob Wester’s TrickBagChallenge went down today with practice. 20-25 riders sessioned the slopestyle-course and railpark all day in mixed-weather conditions. I haven’t been skiing properly since my injury in Austria nearly 3 weeks ago, and I was more than stoked to be back 100%...
Just had breakfast here in Storlien. Getting ready for practice to Jacob Westers competition, and the course looks sick!
Spent some time hanging out with Kim yesterday.
Just got back from skiing Hafjell all day in the sunny park. Megapark with all my skier-friends from everywhere. Such good times.
And if that wasn’t enough, I got invited trough videoqualifiers to Jacob Westers competition on Storlien 2-4th of April. STOKED!
Invited riders:
Magnus Graner (SWE)...
Check this out peeps. Homie Lars Håkon kills it in this video. Shot in just one day!
Finished up work at 0200 am last night and drove straight to Lillehammer this morning. Megpark 2012 is on, and I haven’t been skiing in two weeks due to my minor hip-injury. REALLY stoked to get things going again and maybe get some shots. Stay tuned!
Since I hurt my hip at Snowstock and Austrian Open it has been two mellow weeks skiing-wise. I have been taking up hours at work and started going to the gym again. I get easily bored and I hate beeing still when there is nothing to do. Two more days now, and then I am off to MegaPark 2012 in...
Want to see a new edit? Jacob Wester is hosting a new competition in Storlien, Sweden the 2-4th of April, and I have made a video to qualify to the competition. You can see it here: http://www.freeride.se/video/35810/
Give a warm applause to Christer for putting this little edit together in...
No, this is not me quitting freeskiing. My hip is big as a balloon and I decided to take it easy on the jumping and railing this week. Instead I have been reading for my flight-exams, working at the airport and going to the gym. Today I even tried my new Salomon skis. Crosscountry skate skis...
I slept forever last night when I got back home from a long day of traveling from Austria. Needless to say, the week was awesome! Since we didn’t have internet where we stayed, I did not blog at all over there, and it’s too much to recap in just one post. Therefore I’m going to let the picture...
The first sign of the Alps in general, is the lack of internet, and that is why I am doing this quck-recap post from the last few days.
Flew out of Værnes (Trondheim) on Tuesday morning, and met up with Espen Bergh, Gaute Silseth and Kim Boberg at Gardermoen. Via Copenhagen to Munich, before a...
