Hello boys and girls, long time no write! Or actually I tried to post a blog a month a go, but no, did not happen. To stay mentally sane in the fall is hard and even harder when one have been inactive since February, so now I have to admit that I cant wait to put some real weight on my right foot again so I am prepared for the winter. Summer skiing is probably the best time of the year and I hope you guys got your shear because I sure did not get mine. The cover on Skijournal was the only positive thing that happend this summer.
During MegaPark on Oppdal our coach and spiritual guide(Sterbenz), Wiley and  Finn where coaching along with me and some other  Norwegian skiers and I was happy they were surprised over the level the kids had. Plus it was fun showing them around my home town. I hope they will come back next year.

In the future I will try to write more frequently then of late. So, see ya! Erik

I finally made it over here, and with new skis from VPG in my bag and a sled at our house, I was all set. Snow and wind made us take the first days slow, playing around in and outside the slopes just taking power turns and playing with butters and sutch. The new TNK was as excellent as always, but the skis I had not tried yet was the CRJ's, kind of the crown jewel and I couldnt wait to try them. When the sun came out we had some fun days in the park before we took the sleds out to a built kikker and here I got to try them and yes, that was sweeeet! 

After some 10 days I went to Aspen open. The xgames course was good, but they had filled in the channel gap and made the table shorter. The seacond run of the day and Henrik tells me and Kim to take a speed chek or two before the "channel gap", instead I point it a little bit and fly to the bottom of the landing. So now I'm sitting here and waiting for it to get better, though I think its going to take about a month, that sucks! So I guess I have to be patient again, its just that I hoped for so mutch more on this trip, well well. 

Anyway, trying to enjoy myself with what America has to offer, like a pankakes with srawberry and sirup. Hope I have my jumping feet back before MegaPark.

Hey hey, HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody. Been kind of busy with x-mas and since the snow came and all. I made the x-mas dinner and because of minor difficulties with my balance on the first of January, these two were the only days I had of during my 14 days back home in Oppdal. New years eve was good and the final count down for the US trip kind of started. 

Now, back in Oslo, I have been sitting still for some days and I have to go out to the streets, have fun with it, before I realize that the city is not the place during wintertime, sort of sucks. Hope you all are enjoying snow, somewhere. See ya.    Erik

Hola! A little bit late, like 00:30, but I'll deal with it to morrow. Sitting here watching Turbo and my thoughts drifted to fun, late night street sessions, since it is the only option we have now a days, and it is one of my favourite things to do. It has been a week without skiing, so I definetly have to get out, and soon! The fall, feel like I am repeating my self, sucks! But here are some nice photos on the few good days we have had. So go out, we dont need a lot of snow, and make the best of it!

Not much has happened since last entry, but I got some things in order for this winters big trip. Check, and check.

Really, I only wanted to put up a couple of shots that I got from last week that I just got from the photographer, Daniel Tengs. But on the other hand it became one photo, because the other ones were to big for the blog.
