teo bs 5050 on the close out rail. I really beat myself up on this sucker, the most sketchy gnarly shortes inrun ever i thiink we had for this rail!

now we´re over Boden, Luleå and Älvsbyn, we´re heading south to Umeå to sleep at Hans place over the night, the russians and french film crew are going on there own mission for the night. tomorrow morning we all go to Falun to hook up there and end the tri with some sick shoots from falun! I´m MEGA stoked on that, hanging with my girl, sleeping in my bed and shooting, sounds good to me!

Big thanx to Hans mom and dad who really took good care of us up here in Älvsbyn, good food, nice bed, giving us rides etc. awsome!

yesterday with did a spot wich turned out crap, the rail wouldn´t slide, it was raining and windy like there´s no tomorrow, we had a hugh argument about crews and filming etc, so now we just start over again fresh and go to Falun to kill the shit out of Falu town!

leaving now in hans killer volvo 145, hope I will survive the ride!

heyheyhey

I´m in Älvsbyn at the moment, staying at Hans Åhlunds parents house. It´s probebly the best place I ever stayed at while shooting rails, his mom takes care of us like we were babys, all teh food we could ever want, nice beds, she even made hot chockolade for us to bring while shooting a wall ride in the middle of the night! awsome!

I´m here with hans, teo kontinen, the russian riders osa and dimitri, filmers viktor and clemente and a russian photagrafer called Lev. Teo is a finnish shit kid but he is slowly learning to speak swedish so we´re starting to like him more! haha. nahh the dude is awsome!

we´ve been shooting 3 spots now in 3 days so I´m on my schedule and we´re soon of for another spot! sick! we are mostly filming in a town called Boden, it´s a millitary place so there is tanks, choppers, fighters, canons etc, yesterday there was a hugh freekin tank driving behind me, totally freaked me out so I had to pull over!! haha.

what else is there to say??? I´m gonna post a pic of hans volvo 145, it´s a sick car, but not the most easy to drive but I´m getting better! 

So far stoked on the trip and it´s gonna end up sick, going back home to my girl on hte 21st, gonna be nice to chill with her a couple of days over xmas!

hans and teo caught a big one while building the second spot!

hans volvo 145, the paint job is made personally by mr åhlund with a pensil! haha

by the 2nd and 3rd spot we had this shop, pretty sweet! all the candy u could ever imagine.

I heard something loud in the rear wiev mirror, I looked back and saw this crazy banana monster

yesterday when we were hitting the down rail the local paper was there, doing a story and shooting (they for shure don´t put the same effort in the shooting as we do, the photo dude showed up, no flashes os anything, snapped two pics and then left… haha). so this morning I went and bought the paper, me and Gidlund got first full pager, fuck yeah! story is crazy lame though as always in newspapers. haha.

after getting the magazine me and Frida went to a shopping mall in Borlänge and did the last x-mas shopping, stoked to get that shit over with!

right now I´m sitting on a train towards Umeå to hook up with hans åhlund, apparently all his new hayce clothes has arrived so I´m gonna collect some x-mas presents for me before me and Hans goes even more north to hook up with  the rest of the pirate crew in Boden. right now it´s the russians dimitri, osa, finnish mad man Teo konttinen who is injured from a stretching session so he´s going home tomorrow haha, plus filmers clemente and viktor. they have like 2 fot of snow up there so it´s gonna be awsome I tell ya! 

ohh, and who ever out there that doesn´t watch south park, get a life and start watch it!! whats more funny than eric cartman??? nothing!! 

me and gidlund shredding the newspaper

everything looks so damn good with some snow!! falun this morning.

one more rail is done! a down rail in Falun, pretty sweet one! everybody got some shoots on it as always, I got the 2 tricks I wanted plus one more so I´m über stoked! you just have to love sweden when u shoot rails, today some old dude complained and was super pissed cause he said it was hard for him to walk the stairs when we where there, so when he got back home he called the state. Little later some guy that is the boss of the area where the rail is showed up, started talking and told us we can´t do it cause of complains, then we explained it all and all he said was. “you guys are being nice so I got to be nice to aswell, you guys can hit it.” how sick is that!??

now i´m gonna chill the rest of the day with Frida and tomorrow I jump on a train and head north to the pirate crew that is hangin up there. apparently they have shit loads of snow, hope they have crazy good spots to!

omg have to eat something now, stomake all empty, just don´t have time to eat nowadays…

yesterdays spot, really bad pic, but good rail!

gidlund rippin it up, bs lip pretzel

don´t know what this is called really, but I guess it´s a fs blunt!? it´s jonte riding, I know that..

aight! yesterday we (me andreas gidlund, jonte nilsson) hit the kind of famous, at least localy famous “bjurs kink” it´s a sweet 2 down rail, pretty big one. magnus was filming and mattias klockar was shooting pics, everybody got some shoots out of it, jonte even got a really sweet slam cathing his heel edge on the flat and started flying and flying and ended up on his back at the very bottom of the rail… nice broow. session was over at like 6.30 pm wich was madness nice cause normally it´s the middle of the night so I had time to go back home and make sweet love to my girlfriend!

today where hitting this flat rail, so got to go now the others are soon there building averything, and since they had built everything yesterday when me and jonte arrives they would be pissed off if we don´t built anythiing today…. but it would be sweet to not build anything today aswell… hihihi

today I had a stress day, and hangover to! yesterday ludde lejkner and chris called me up and wanted to grab one or two beers, ended up being moore like 10! me and frida taged along with them, the beer just tasted to good for one or two!!

now my life is put back together again after a bunch of phone calls etc, so now I´m off to hit a rail!! yeahhhhh
