Its has been a while now, and a lot has happened since the last time I updated the blog.

If you werent able to figure out the point of my last post, ill let you know I got 2nd place the danish rail session in Avoriaz. I qualified first and screwed up in the finals, like I always do. I was obviously pretty bummed on that…

2 days later, while all the danish guys were going bananas in the half-pipe, I entered some random Russian slopestyle competition just so I could ride the otherwise close park. I got 3rd in that comp (by some weird judging decisions).

Now before I get into the DM slopestyle comp and that whole thing let me clear up why I haven´t been updating my blog during the DM week… I have three pretty good reasons why, you see.

First off my computer “broke down”. when I tried to turn it on one morning it wasn´t able to find the hard drive – this got me super bummed and basically got me out of blogging mode.

(my computer magically started working again a couple of days ago – Im really happy I im not forced to buy a new one right now, since the next wave of macbooks should be right around the corner!)

The Second reason is that I forgot to buy a universal power-outlet converter for my electronics – I currently cant charge the battery for my photo camera so I dont have too many fresh pictures.

The Third reason is the lack of proper internet in Avoriaz – nothing ever works there!

OKAY so - Avoriaz, Danish Nationals, slopestyle.

The slopestyle went pretty good. In contrast to last year, we actually got to practice on the course this year which helped a lot on the level of riding. I was really happy to see so many guys who threw 7´s and even some sw 7´s…

Im over writing long posts with lots of text… ill continue later.

Soooo, Hey… Its been a couple of days since the lasts time I was on here… over the course of the last couple of days truly feels like a year!

Right now im sitting in a small apartment in Avoriaz, France. Im here to compete at the Danish Freeski Champoinships which are starting tomorrow night with a Big Air competition.

Inside info: The  Big Air has turned into a heads-up RAIL SESSION because  they dont have enough snow for a 25 meter jump in downtown Avoriaz… (there is not enough snow in the world to make a 25 meter kicker in the town of Avoriaz).

So heads-up rail session tomorrow… I signed up today, but to be honest I am not sure if I am actually competing. Here is why – I think a heads-up competition on rails are kinda pointless since I feel like the level of riding will have to be brought way down to be safe enough for a heads-up. There is no way you (I) can ever be as safe on rails as on jumps on harder tricks…

Next comp i am entering will be “DM” slopestyle on thursday.

In 3 of the last 4 Danish Champion slopestyle (ever since i started skiing park) i´ve gotten 2nd place at this event. As I have gotten better at park skiing the importance of DM slopestyle as gradually become more insignificant, but this year I really want to win – not the that makes any real difference, I just really WANT TO WIN.

You know what, I actually dont have too high hopes for this one/this year either.

The jumps that were supposed to be 18-22 meters are actually 10 meters, and the park all-around is just crazy. Tons of features and really steap. Its the same for everyone though, so it´ll probably be all good – its just a little disappointing to see the park here when everything you hear is that it is really good. I dont think it is, sorry.

Ill upload a POV form the park tomorrow, so you can see what the park looks like…

till then

Check out the greenlandic national news “Qanorooq” from november 5th…

About half way through in “short news”, just after some story about shooting seals and before the news on a homicide in Nuuk… Two crazy stories to end in the middle of… but I´m not complaining.

I know a lot of my people out there wonder what greenlandic sounds like – here is your chance!

A couple more kangaroo tries today, but none landed…

I have to admit, I thought these new tricks I was planning on learning while being here at Mettmenstetten are turning out to be kinda hard. I guess thats another reason to call them doubleflips… they are double has hard to learn… Me and Dennis will give it another go tomorrow!

Having more downtime here in Switzerland then at home, I´m making some changes and tweaking some stuff on the site. Everything might be really messed up for the next couple of days, maybe even weeks. Sorry about that. I got really tired of the look of the site and I don´t wanna take it all down, cus then I can´t keep everyone updated…

oh and this far the site looks WAY better in Firefox then Safari – don´t know about all the other browsers…

till next time
