Hey!

Just finished one week of camping in beautiful Scotland. Went hiking, skating, snowboarding and watched the stunning surroundings around the country. You can nearly say that Scotland is like a miniature of New Zealand – the nature is dramatic and always changing, even if you just travel a few miles. So the trip was well worth it and soo awesome, best of times!

I’m now going for a weekend in London to visit my old roommate from high school – Therese! Can’t be more stoked on this small vacation and it is happy times

We had a nice little skate session in a old factory on the 4th floor, where they had built this little skatepark. 

The weather was pretty bad and it was raining nearly the whole week I was there. But at least it made the mountains nice n’ white

At the top of a mountain, 40 minutes of heavy walking and then you got some awesome views!

Cheers, take care

Thjupp!

Yesterday it was time for the spring tradition -To take a swim in the lake before 1st of May! Unfortunately I was one day to late to be before 1st of May, but at least it was spring and I don’t think there would have been a difference if I’d done it on 31st of April instead. It is a annual tradition for me now and have probably been doing it for 6 years or more.

The water was freaking cold, maybe around 7 degrees, but it’s always soo nice once your done and you get an awesome refreshing feeling!
Hopefully it won’t take to long until you can enjoy a swim, instead of getting a chock out of it. But that will probably have to wait until late June.

Last year we took the first swim of the year on 25th of April, which is pretty damn early to be Sweden!! If you want to see some pic’s/read about it check out my old blog post from my old blog here (In Swedish)

Nelly, our dog, was the one that took the longest swim. Me, my cousin Henric and my aunt Kicki weren’t in the water for too long… Was enough with just a few seconds

Nelly was tired after playing a full afternoon in the water

After a nice breakfast, it’s now time for some more editing for the Shred O’rama 9Q edit!
Take care, cheers

Hi!

Thought that I should give you a little better recap of what happen when I won, didn’t have so much time to do a proper update when I was in Whistler. But now I’m back in Sweden with plenty of time!

If you want to enjoy an explanation about the conditions without reading, check out this interview with me that Julius made (in Swedish!):

The conditions on the Big Air contest on saturday night was pretty okay when the training was. But as the girls were starting the comp there came in pretty bad weather – the air got a lot of moisture in it and there was some kind of rain coming down. First of all a lot of girls dropped out of the comp as they felt uncomfortable, so when we were starting there were only 5 of the 11 invited girls on the start. There were three girls dropping ahead of me on the first run, and all of them crashed on the knuckle due lack of speed, two of them got injured pretty bad. This made me really scared and when I dropped in I took the decision to stop before the kicker, I would never had made it over with that speed…
When I took the sled up for my 2nd run I had to drop straight away as there now only was one girl ahead of me (2 were injured). I climbed up to a tower that was available and took all the speed I could get and I made it just passed the knuckle with a trick that was safe with – 360 japan. I got a score of 67.4, and with that I won..!?

So… It was a strange contest and I think I had a little bit of luck together with reasonable acting that made me the winner of the night. Anyway, I’m super stoked and it was a lot of fun to have that ”winner-feeling”, because it’s rare for me. If you want to see the full results from the comp, check it out here: Women’s Big Air Final Results.

Take care and stay tuned for more updates!

Thjupp!

Going to bed now as I’m going home to sweden super early tomorrow morning, but if you want to check out when I got first in Whislter go to freeride.se! More info comes as soon as I’m back home!

Thjupp!

Yesterday I was competing here in Whistler. The weather was pretty good, sunny and a couple of degrees over zero. There had been a snowfall over night of nearly 20 cm, so the snow n’ park was soft and nice! We had 1 hour + 1 hour of training in the morning and it felt pretty good. The practice as I told you before hadn’t gone so good but this was the first day that it felt really good for me in the park.

On my last practice run before the comp I undershot the first jump and crashed. I was fine after the crash, but for my first comp run I thought that I should take some more speed for that jump. I did, and instead I overshoot the whole thing and probably did my biggest cork 7 tail ever. Unfortunately the impact was to big after flying around 30 meters so I couldn’t stand it and that run was over.

2nd run was the highest score for me, but I still didn’t get through the full run. I did straight on the down rail, cork 720 tail, straight on the canonbox, switch of the canon pipe, switch 540 saftey, and on the last jump I thought I was going to undershoot pretty bad so I popped as high as I could and cleared it with a straight air and ended the run with a japan in the corner. That run gave me a score of 58.0 and a 7th place.
I wasn’t satisfied at all….  But instead I will focus on the Big Air tonight and hopefully I will have really good time with the girls tonight on the last competition this season. If you want to check out the full results from Women’s slopestyle, check out this ->link<-!

Now I’m going to a FIS/Olympic/AFP meeting before it’s time for Big Air!
Take care, cheers

Thjupp!

Sry for a really lazy update. I was trying to get my pictures from my cellphone into my computer, but it just stopped working somehow. And it is just soo boring to blog without pictures, but now there will be one post anyway.

I’m now in Whistler, British Columbia! I’m in Canada for my first time and I’m here to participate in WSI (tellus World Skiing Invitational). So far we’ve had 3 days of practice and it has been changing conditions. The course itself is good but the weather has made it pretty hard to ski it properly. 1st day it was super icy and you would have needed ice skates to make a good turn. 2nd day it snowed and it was so foggy so at the worst you couldn’t see more then 5 meters ahead you. The 3rd day, today, I only had 1 hour of practice and it was back to being super icy…

Tomorrow is the big comp day for Slopestyle. I hope that the course will soften up a little bit, otherwise it will be really scary. It suppose to come some snow tonight (5-15 cm), so hopefully that will make it ski-able tomorrow, cross my fingers for it. If it gets soft it will be a lot of fun!

I got one photo from my trip here, the rest is in my phone… This was the beautiful view over Stockholm on my way over here!

Now I’m going to sleep as it’s an early morning tomrrow + I’m kind of suuper jetlag! Ciao

Thjupp!

I’m back in Sweden and after a week spent at home with a bad cold, I just needed to go skiing again! So I headed over to the slope I went to school in – Kläppen!

A bad thing though, is that the weather have been in the wrong order. At first it was super slushy and Kläppen had some really good spring weather for maybe 2-3 weeks. But now, it’s back to winter and that makes the park more to a ice-skating course then a snowpark.
I’ve been here nearly a week now and haven’t seen a sight of the famous spring slush, and if you check the weather it doesn’t seem like it’s going to get any softer… But as my friend said ”At least it’s the best time to do shuffles, as you can’t catch an edge”. So I guess it’s shuffle time!

Catch u later!

Hey!

The latest Shred O’rama webisode is here! Check out when I went to Austria together with Nina Rusten to participate in the Austrian Freeski Open – which Nina won!! Great edit with a lot of good memories, thx Niklas for editing

Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Hey!

Skiing in a dirndl is not the most clever thing to do… As soon as I got home I got a pretty bad cold. So today I haven’t been doing so much other things then sleeping, eating and prepared the new Shred O’rama webisode. But hopefully the cold will be long gone soon, and after all, it was worth it to ski in a dirndl!

You can see me in the dress, with skis on, if you go in to this link -> Foto contest results and images. Go down to Pierre Augier’s Contest Photos, and then it’s the Best Lifestyle photo number 2. But scroll slow and you’ll get to see all the other amazing photo’s from the Nine Queens week!

Together with my cold today I’m going to take it really chill, and I do that best together with a cup of tea and with some great music. The Red (Hjalmar Söderling) is a music writer and a old classmate of mine, click on his name and you can check out his great beats!
