Good Morning.
Its been snowing all night…
Im sitting here in the motel listening to music and eating some breakfast.
I dont have high hopes for today, but in a few minutes Im headed up to to Breck to see if there´s anything fun to do on the hill.
Cameras
I have totally fallen in love with this camera. Everybody this is the Leica X1, Leica X1 this is everybody!… BUT unfortunately its way out of my price-range SO I will have to settle for the next best thing…
I´m still in the early stages of deciding, but I thought I would share the cameras I´m thinking about getting.
Leica D-Lux 4
Awesome camera, great design and a 24mm wide-angle lense among other features – a bit expensive though.
Panasonic Lumix LX3
Pretty much the same camera as the D-lux 4, not quite as cool though, but better priced… both cameras comes stuck without the viewfinder.
I am also thinking about getting a Canon G11 Powershot
but this camera is bigger, only has 28mm wide-angle and might not do as well in low-light situations with its 2,8 aperture
what do you think?
(I´m a newbie when it comes to cameras so if anyone has any advice on any these thingis please drop a comment)
amped on photography!
Just
… I quick little post.
I’m in Austria with Freestyle Academy right now, and so far it’s pretty sick… Food is good and the hotel is sick. We skied the park yesterday and it’s pretty good, just needed some snow… And today it was puking snow, so we just hiked some jibs. Tomorrow is gonna be sooo good!
It’s so good to be back on snow!
I haven’t found a way to get online with my computer yet, so no pictures or anything yet – and no footage from the waterramps. sorry.
I’ll see if I find a wifi-spot somewhere… if not I’ll just post small little updates like this one…
My good friend Mads has his birthday today. He is in Austria with me, so we woke him up… wohoo. Birthdays sure aren’t as fun as they used to be..!
Good Night

Mothers Day
Today my mother, Lone Zoe Olsen (birth name was Lone Brandt), would have turned 50 years old.
Its crazy how time flies.
My dad had to tell me, for me to remember – and for that i feel kinda sad. I won´t forget this day again.
I don´t know what to write…
She lost a 4-5 year battle against cancer and died on august 14th 2000. I love her alot, and I will never forget her.
I hope none of you guys out there have lost anyone close to you.
Showing photos…
I realize I’m really bad at uploading photos and video, but that’s because I forget to take out the camera in interesting situations… cus they are so interesting, right..? right…
Here’s some shots from the last couple weeks – this is literally all the photos I’ve taking in 3 weeks or so…
The mayo just came out like this... I thought it was funny...
Longboarding comp and St.Hans Haugen - I was impressed...
There were ALOT of people there and the weather was nice... I DJed a little bit at the Scullcandy stand.
It was hard to take photos of these guys with an Iphone Camera
On my way to work one morning
Go skateboarding day
Magnus is watching people skating...
... this pool (sorry, I forgot to take an overview photo)
This guy was just chilling in the sun in the middle of the city. He opened his eyes and looked at me just when I was about to take this photo, so I ended up missing the shot
Hanging out at the "Beach" of Huk
Original, huh?
Sunset at the Frognerparken skatespot... we weren't skating
A couple of hours after this photo was taken my appendix (blindtarm) decided to break wide open... such a bad ending to such a good day
Saturday, the day efter my surgery... Today, sunday, I'm still in alot of pain...
Due to my appendix-surgery I won’t be doing shit for a while – I’ll be ready for Freestyle Academy in france though, even though I will have to take it slow in the beginning…
It’s going to be interesting to see what the next couple weeks are gonna bring..

Skate date (no footage)
I Skatet today… It was super hot and we couldn’t find a place to get water… eh, yeah…
I don’t have any proof, but these are some of the better tricks I remember I landed today;
fs 360, bs 360*, nollie bs 360, fs flip, bs flip, fakie fs flip, fakie bs flip, fs heelflip, bs heelflip, fakie fs heelflip, nollie bs heelflip*, fs 360 heelflip* – I’m not telling about the rest because I need some tricks to whip out in the heat of this summers Game of Skate battles…
* = tricks I had never landed before today
I will definitely try to film some skating stuff and post it here, but not until I feel that I won’t be embarased by the footage… And film other stuff too – theres just not too much stuff worth filming these days…
I got a random picture update dropping one of these days though…
These posts are really boring huh?.. Damnit!
