Last time I updated this blog I a sitting on a sweaty noisy plane on my my way to the US for the Ultimate Boarder Competition( snow, surf ,skate) Well, here is how it went for me…. I landed in Reno Airport very late, almost midnight. I went to pick up my luggage, but my laggage was not there…and the competition was the next morning. So after talking to the Airline, they promised to send it straight to Tahoe next morning in time for the competition. Full of hope that my bag would make it in time, I went to my car that was parked on the airport since last time in USA, I put in the key and turned it around…nothing happened, battery was dead. This was not my day! I fianlly got someone to help me start the car, and I drove to lake tahoe. When I woke up the next morning I still did not receive my bags, and the competition was about to start. I ended up riding the contest on borrowed bindings, boots and clothes….it did not go well, I fell on every run, one time actually before the jump! Hip hip hurray!
After the contest I met up with Vianney Tissau, and we where hooting in Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows for one week. I also teamed up with Torstein Hoorgmo, Juuso Lavisto and Chaz Guldemond for a session on some really good jumps in Alpine together with Standard films.
The last 2 days I have been in LA, visiting my shoe and boot sponsor Etnies and 32, I stayed with my team manager Eddie Lee, and been surfing 2 times a day. It was really good to jump in the water after a long winter season!
Now I am sitting in the Lufthansa Lounge in LA airport LAX, using the internet for what its worth and eating as much free food as I can…and maybe tasting a glass or two of some sleepy wine. Its pretty funny to look at all those business people sitting here in their suites writing important Emails, they just don’t look too happy. They should just snowboard more is what I am thinking.
But season is far from over….I will get only one day in Norway before I will jump on a new flight and go to north of Finland for a Storbis film shoot. I will also go to Hemsedal and Stryn in Norway…..and after that to Mt Hood. So there is plenty of fun to come!
Hope you all got some good spring riding, some slushy slashes and soft landings! If you have some fun stories to tell, good slams or whatever, just post it in the comment section!
Peace out fella mountain goats! Thomas
