Pretty happy with my skiing this year even though I didnt make finals. Found the live stream and managed (sorta) to rip a video from it, nothing too exciting but it’s a run I’m happy with, enjoy:

I dont know if it was only worth 81 points but since the cut-off was at 87 I guess I wouldnt have made finals anyways. Crazy level in slopestyle!

Now the plan is to organize my life for the season. I’ll get back to you soon about how that’s all going.

I was hanging out with them for a few days in Stockholm and managed to sneak in 2 shots in the beginning of the movie. Enjoy:

Oh well, enjoy the clip:

Had a good day in a snowy Breckenridge watching the dew tour open qualifiers today. Tough conditions for the athletes but everyone killed it, congrats to everyone making it to semis!

The course is really well built, so it’s going to be interesting to see what kind of madness will go down… Did mostly mellower tricks today just trying to get used to the speed and the rails but I think I’m going to have a pretty decent run on friday. We’ll see!

At the end of the day I followcamed Banks Gilberti with my G10, this year the dew tour has banned any kind of filming on the course, so dont tell anyone…;)

We were short on time but I like the idea for video blogs and hopefully we’ll make more of that in the future. Enjoy:

The plan right now is to hang out in Sweden for one more week as a big storm is coming, hopefully this means we’ll get some surf this weekend. Waiting for the forecast to tell us what to do, but it looks like we’re heading over to Gotland for a few days.

After that, off to Mammoth Mountain, California, for some fun times!
