Practice, practice, practice.

So this was my last day in USA and Colorado. Saturdays are crowded in Breckenridge so we went to ski Keystone.

After watching snowboard bigair in X-games last night, I figured it was no other way out than starting to learn something myself.

Allready on the bus to Keystone I was preparing for a scary day on the main jump-line.  1 straightair through the park and 1 switch 540 later, I was on it. I wanted to do a switch wobble 900 with a safety-grab.

I think I had 10 or more tries in a row, just pumping different variations of the trick, until I put my feet down and lost my ski in the landing. I figured that the 900 was impossible to to with the axis I first started off with. After 10 more tries I put my feet down on the trick I probably have been most afraid of ever – Switch doublecork 1080.  Good last day in Colorado with great friends.

 

See you in Norway people! Thanks.

A good day!

I was a little tired after yesterday’s icy skiing, but I stayed out for a long day of skiing.

Perfect weather today. A little icy and hard landings, but all in all a great day for skiing.

Lars.

Have you read and understood the rules of American park-skiing? Nope, we Scandinavians ski as we do back home.

Sunny and warm Breck! Stokeness.

And let me introduce to you, the flying circus, or Shred’n Breakfast if you will. Kim, Lasse & Lars.

 

Many hours later….dead skier found at the doorstep. It takes it’s toll skiing 5 hours a day on these high altitudes with insanely many features in one park-lap.

With this little video you will get the idea with what we are dealing with in Breck. Good park? Nope. Perfect park? YES!

My favourite trick of the month

This little trick is the most funny trick I have done in a long time. It is not way steezy, nor is it insane or sick. Just pure fun!

Underflip 540.

Øystein Braathen

This is pretty much crazy. First two laps in the morning, power on! Øystein knows so many tricks!

 

What about new videos?

 

So many of you have been screaming out lately, simply beacause you miss new videos coming up on the blog.  I have not stopped producing edits, but the lack of videos has two reasons:

1.) It’s hard to film yourself all day, and I suck at editing, and it’s not like I have my personal videographer with me wherever I go.

2.) I have been teaming up with the famous Shred’n Breakfast lately, and will be on their two upcoming episodes throughout the winter.

 

In the meantime, you might be able to see a new edit from somwhere. Who knows?

Shred’n Breakfast shoot-out day

Hey you all! 

Today was one of the better days here in Breckenridge. Perfect weather, new snow in the slopes, perfect shaped jumps and rail-features. I ended up beeing the last guy leaving the park, which is rarely me. My feet never hold up for 6 hours straight up skiing, but today, skiing 10 am to 4 pm was not a problem !

We teamed up in two teams with one camera each, and got a few shots for the next Shred’n Breakfast episode. It was me and Øystein ”I-know-every-trick-in-the-fucking-world” Braathen, that hit the park until the bitter end. Stoked to hit the slopes again tomorrow.

And yeah, I finally learned how to do a underflip. SO fun!

Chair up to the slopes. So nice!

Breckenridge park-lane.

Quick lunch, where some of us was more interested in cleaning the camera- rather than eating food.

Beautiful day. This was the last run at 3.30 pm. Park closing-time.

Really looking foreward to skiing tomorrow!

Peace, Steffen.

Keystone game of S.K.A.T.E

Breck is insanely crowded on Saturdays and most skiers know that. That’s why we went skiing in Keystone yesterday.

When the big jump-line is closed in Key, and the the light totally sucks, rails is a good replacement. Keystone has got like 40 rails, and allmost no boxes, which makes it perfect for a game of s.k.a.t.e, even though if you are 15 people.

A lot of big creative features in Key, supersick!

Elvis and Sol in the liftline.

After what probably was the longest game of s.k.a.t.e ever, it was time for a coffee at Inxpot. Good day with friends skiing.

Looks like we have got a lot of snow during the night, and the sun is shining. I should probably get out.

Peace, S.

R.I.P Sarah

Unbelievable that this is true and a sad day for skiing, but I am sure she will be skiing for ever and ever. I SKi 4 Sarah.

Light wind

Windy in Breck today. We got a little snowfall over night, so jumping was kind of sketchy to times. We brought out the crazy camera-rig that Lasse and S&B has, and shot some rails.
