After a few days on the road we're back on the French Riviera and the apartment in Mandelieu.
Been driving all the way up to Ulm in Germany, then through Lausanne in Switzerland, Milano, Verona and Bologna in Italy. Spend one night at Kire's sisters Stella and her husband Giuliano's place outside of Verona too. Good times.
We had some trouble with exploding tires on the highway and minor setbacks through out the trip but now we have the weekend off here in Cannes. I'm trying to put together one final edit from the last days in Fonna too, so hopefully it will be ready tomorrow.
Ba baba da boopi!
A exploding tire on the highway in 140 km/h aint nuthin to play with.
Getting towed.
Drow by Zermatt and Saas Fee
Stella and Giuliano's place. True italian countryside style.
Kire and Stella. And a traktor.
Right in the middle of an italian "30 minute goodbye". What is Giuliano saying? Probably something like this:
Is this a big Red Bull or a small Heineken!?
Here's where I'm editing the latest videoupdate from Fonna. Pretty decent office.
By the way. I also heard that the DUCKSJEN teaser will be released later on today. So stay tuned for that!
Been lazy with the blogupdatin business lately, but I'm on a long workation right now. Mostly work I must say though, but some vacation days too every now and then.
A fun addition to the trip though is my new sidekick Erik Kire Karlsson!
My trip these past weeks has contained starts and stops in following cities: Örnsköldsvik Stockholm Linköping Göteborg Malmö Köpenhamn Malmö Kalmar Vimmerby Stockholm Olso Stockholm Malmö Amsterdam Strasbourg Cannes.
And tomorrow me and Kire are heading for a tour in Italy and Germany for 3-4 days. Working Class Heroes for real!
Some Pics Just eatin up them miles behind the wheels.
WE MOVE HEAVY THINGS
Met Andy G and the Windstedt family in Malmö
Hooked up with a badly bruised Philip Harlaut in Stockholm
Philip are not entirely sure about what really happened during his accident, but I suggest that you all should have breaks on your bicycles otherwise you can end up like this.
Found two videos from Nike 6.0 and Head Snowboards from their Folgefonna visits earlier this summer.
Teaser for Nike's D-Pad Session features riding by Mason Aguirre, Kevin Bäckström, Eero Ettala and Terje Hakonsen.
The montage from Head Snowboards contains riding by Fredik Evensen, Alex Tank, Christophe Schimdt and last but not least our very own Viktor Wiberg. A.k.a SvartWiberg
Additonal footage by me! Stoked on that. It turned out really good I must say.
Today was my first day of work on my "real" job, and I wont be able to post as much on this blog since I'm going away for a couple off weeks now down in Europe.
I have some more footage from Folgefonna that I wanna share with you aswell, but unfortunately I haven't got the time right now. Maybe in a few weeks if my job doesn't kill me.
Anyway. Yesterday I went for a quick trip to Umeå to deliver the last of my footage for the Random Bastards movie and after we were done, we headed down to the skateplaza "Sparken" for a short session with the Random skaters. (Not to mention barefoot skater Rolf Nylinder)
The entire session was filmed in just one hour, so don't expect too much. But hopefully I'll get a chance to film there some more this summer. That would be DOPE!
Here's a short edit from the contest that I told you about earlier that I was asked to film. It's been done for a while but I've been wating on some sponsor logos so I couldn't upload it until today.
Julius Ödegaard walked away from it 10000 NOK richer. Emil Flossheim got on third place which gave him a sweet goodiebag from the sponsors and one years supply of Smartfish.
I met Felix on Folgefonna last week when he was there for the Head Snowboards shoot. He's one of the leadfilmers for the Isenseven movies and also a really nice guy. We exchanged footage during the sunsetshoot, and hopefully he will use some of my clips in a coming edit. That would be really fun to see, since he sure knows what he's doing when it comes to filming and editing.
Check out his showreels on his webpage, and also make sure to check out the Isenseven teaser if you haven't watched it yet.
Ok. Now I've made it home from Borlänge and the Peace and Love festival.
Had a great time there, saw some dope bands, drank some good beer and met a lot of nice people I haven't seen in a while.
Good times!
Jon and Beyer chillin in Klas RV
Dance BAnders Haglöf showed up and made the days a little bit better

HOVA HOVA HOVA...
Found this clip from the concert with the "Forever Young"song, which is one of the worst Jay Z tracks of all time. But still, this clip is kind of funny. Especially the dude with the hat.
