Röldal and the 4th stop is over. Got some mixed emotions where the sport is heading, this is my 4th season on the tour and i feel like the judges and riders want different things, during those years i have never herd some much complaining, you will always get it but not from 80% of the riders. We will go to work on that in a workshop in Fieberbrun and I’m confident we will improve.

Anyway, a 6th place is ok i guess moving me up to 5th in the ranking with all to win and nothing to loose. Röldal as a comp in other aspects was fun but extremely stressful for the organizers, 3 venue changes with bad weather coming, in the end we got a great show.

Now im back in Åre and shredding the mountain with Niel Williman, good times even if its raining. Driving to Austria next week for the next comp, Going for gold.

Had about a week in my beloved Åre. Got to meet the dog, parents and the rest of the family. Me and Jackie flew up from Geneva with way to much luggage but fortunately, Norwegian airlines let you bring 2 ski bags so it all worked out. But enough with the constant problem with overweight i thought so i went out and bought a car. Audi A6 quattro s-line, it will make stuff way more easy.

But to get the car in order with everything i had a bit of a stressful week at home, me and Jackie got some days of skiing at least, one which was captured by TV Åre http://www.freeride.se/video/35218/

In all this stress my Graphic card died on me, no big deal, got warranty but my new epic powder edit from Montafon was on it. So you will have to wait until i can remake it on my laptop.

Going to bed now, driving to Röldal tomorrow morning at 6am for the next FWT stop. I think its about time for a win!

Oh BTW, Went to Erik Themels freeride festival in Montafon. Got 2nd again on one of my favorite venues. On top of that, I’m pretty sure Martin Söderqvist got a Cover of me while shooting in Montafon, good work Buddie.
