been freezing my balls off today! it´s been around -30 celsius, me and sani were out with the leds to find some good areas for jumps etc. and let me tell u, it´s damn cold to sled around in -30!! at least we found some stuff we can maby hit tomorrow if it get´s warmer caus I´m not going out shooting if it´s as cold as today!!! luckily the forecast says it´s suppose to be a little warmer tomorrow :)!

yeah, the resst of the day we ahve just been chillin sort of, Justin our filmer had to do the 3h drive to bozeman and 3h back to get a new battery for his camera cause his old one died, wich sucked for him!! feel for u justin! but he got drunk yesterday in bozeman so actually, I don´t feel for u!

just had the biggest freekin steakk sandwich ever ever at miner saloon here in cooke! feel like puking soon sort of… ahhhhh. full!!!

still here in cook city. yesterday though we went to Bozeman, 3 h drive to get some good food and stuff, since we just moved into a house here, really sick one! getting fruits and stuff like that is impossible here in cooke city, other then that I really like hanging out filming at this place, so mellow, not so many people and offcourse a big reason why I like it is cause you just get out the front door and jump on your sled and start burning that thing!! got a ski doo 1000cc so it´s quick as hell!!

so far we havn´t got so much done (or I havn´t got so much done since I just arrived) cause it´s been pretty bad snow the first day, then now the snow is falling wich is sick cause ones the sun comes out now we´re gonna have shit loads of stuff to hit! just jump on the sled and go build some jumps! hell yeah!! 

still though we have a pretty good house that has given me one cool shoot today, doing combos on the balkony!! thanx for that who ever owns the house!! 

no pics coming up right now, cause internet is way to slow, that I will give u later!

hope u guys in europe don´t get snow cause then I´ll be pissed off that I´m not there! or actaully we´re gonna have sick snow soon so it´s alright….

we arrived late last night finally here in cooke city after about 18 h drive from seattle, and getting lost twice in the yellowstone national park! great! I feel like I´m about to fall a part, need some rest, today I even got some crazy weird cramps in my arm, never had that before. At least first day is over, I got a photo, maybe film shoot, the other duds (björn, sani, drew) got some pics, and funny film shoots done aswell.

we defentetly need to look out for avalanches here now! sadly a sled guy died here last in an avalanche! and one of the like 4 motels here blewed up big time cause of some gas leek. crazy shit going down in cooke city!!

now I think I´m gonna die for a while, and maybe wake up tomorrow morning…

been driving about 500km now! only about 850km left…. god damn it! 4 h of sleep this night, smooth…. ohh and last night like 2am, I got freekin pulled over on the highway by a cop. and I knew our lights weren´t working proper on the trailer where we have the sled, so I was crazy freekin nervous!! and he went “license and registration” as always, only problem is that it took like 5 minutes to find the damn registration! but he was actually one of the coolest cops, he just told us to get the light on the trailer fixed asap and it´s all good… thank u dear jesus! gotta get on the road now! piiiiiz

finally I have arrived, after 16h on flights and airports, and being stressed in the customs. I hate customs here, the stress you so much that even though your not doing anything wrong or smuggling any hardcore drugs your still nervous as shit!! but now I´m here it´s all good, except I´m tired like there´s no tomorrow and I have a 1300km drive infront of me….. at least I have a photagrafer to share the ride with now (still don´t know his name, he´s gonna come here soon then I´ll find out! haha. we´re heading to montana, cooke city. the town in the middle of nowhere, while there we gonna hook up with the pirate crew there (sani, drew fuller, björn, and justin hare behind the 16mm cam). stoke to go shred the backcountry with bataleons 1000cc sled!! moahahahha.

quick facts about cooke city:

population: 90people

location: in the middle of f…ing nowhere

roads: there is only one, well there´s some “roads” made only for sleds….

what people do in cooke city: sleding, sleding, sleding.

stores: 2 gas stations that sell muffins, cinemon cereals, gas and sleds!

damn us goverment!! why does it have to be such a trouble to come to you? visa application that doesn´t work, embassy that doesn´t answear my phone calls, they don´t reply my mails… I mean come on!!!

havn´t updated anything from china… sorry about that, but now I´m back in Falun again with my everyday internet!! sweet! at the moment I´m trying to figure out my next move, adn it´s probebly gonna be pow trip in states starting this sunday, but US goverment have made it even more pain in the ass to enter USA, cause now it´s not just the hardcore customs anymore, now you also have to fill in an application form on there über website at least 3 days before you enter states, adn to do that you need a flight number, so that means you need to have a flight booked, wich I havn´t so I can´t fill it in yet!!! ahhh USA is a pain in the ass to get to, but once you are there it´s pretty sweet I have to say!

so, what about china!? it was a good trip, I´ve been there some times before and it´s pretty much the same every year, pretty funny and good park, but the contest ends up being about who can make it over the kickers cause it´s way to much wind and not enough speed… Freddy Austbö ended up getting just enough speed, wich gave him 1st place, Atsushi ( wich means at the sushi place in english and in swedish it means eat sushi, pretty good name right there) ended up 2nd place and me 3rd. after the comp we all celebrated at a resturant with kareoke and beer spray war, don´t think we can ever go back to that resturant again, ohh and also a food fight… haha, don´t know who won though but I think marcus keller and filippo kratter won the most sexy contest, when they were singing kareoke topless… hmmm.

I´m gonna tell you about another REALLY funny incident , but no names here… ##### put a snus (swedish tobacco you put under your lip) between his foreskin and dick head, when it starded to burn alot on ####s penis he took it out and put in on the table. after a while &&&& see´s the snus on the table not knowing where it had been and said, “ohh a snus” and put it in the mouth. then later when &&&& finds out where it had been %%%% puts it inside the underwear, and later puts the snus in %%%% beer, and then %%%% ends up drinking from that beer. hmmm luckily I wasn´t there I only heard about it!

now I have to call jet pack or whatever it´s called cause I didn´t get my boardbag at the airport yesterday so there gonna send it here to me…. laterzz

half time in the beer fight, tyler me and teo

keller and kratter singing there heart out and clothes off…

now this is a good looking resturant!!

inside the big olympic arena in beijing, freeeekin huge thing!! Me and jacob wilhelmsson made shure we touch the ground where that black dude did the 2 crazy world records on 100m and 200m. you just have to touch history man!!

watching “super bad” with english subtitles made by a chineese adn getting a foot massage at the same time rocks!! subtitles made absolutly no sense

check out the pimpy seats in the black taxi! it´s a wooden bench that is not even attached to the floor!! haha

who said money doesn´t make u happy!?

Like I said I had a mellow new years, wich I´m stoked on since I need some good rest and I have to say most of the time new years is over hyped, cause it´s to much people every year and people are expecting it to be sooo awsome… there are better party days! since it was so mellow me and Viktor went out to shoot a really cool spot that we built just before new years eve. check the pic out below!

on the 2nd of january me and viktor went up to Sälen (resort) to shoot a wooden down rail, and to shred a little bit with Jonas Carlsson, Jonte Nilsson and Gidlund. I got a shoot that I´m pretty stoked on, and after when I´m finnished hitting the rail, Ludvig Lejkner called viktor cause he had seen us hitting the rail, and he claimed a bunch oh tricks that he and some other isen7 guys had been doing on the rail the other week and that they built the snow drop in and blabla. yeah thanx Ludvig and isen7 for building the worst possible drop in for that rail… I mean seriously, where not skiers here Ludde! haha. Me and viktor just went up to tandådlen ski resort and shredded the mini park with jonas, jonte and gidlund!

Tomorrow I have to go 250km to stockholm and 250km back just to get my visum to go to china on thuesday, I so bad at doing stuff in advance, should have done it like a month ago! now I´m going it one day before my flight leaves…. not good kalle!!

the stall-fire cracker rail we hit the day after new years eve. everything went crazy smooth with getting the drop in up, trying etc. then when I try another trick I´m popping down to fire cracka the “stairs”, the rail almost collaps so my nose goes in to the rocks and I do a half frontflip into the icy landing… fuck that! luckily Viktors little bro johan came and helped us, every time I hit the rail he was supporting it with his legs so it wouldn´t collaps! haha, simple but brilliant, cause it worked! didn´t feel to good the day after cause of the damn half front flip, I got a small concussion, plus yesterday I hit my had again riding a kicker in Tandådalen with a long icy bumby laning. I just did a cab 7 landed and rode down like half the landing and suddenly I hit some small invisible bump and catch my heel edge and hit my head like there´s no tomorrow!! another small concussion… have to chill now a little bit!

My future dream place, it´s for sale but it´s to early for me….. Have to wait until Frida is done with her education in 1,5 year! It´s 2100m2 just by the lake, 10km outside of Örebro where I grew up. It´s a shitty house that you have to re-build and stuff, but 2100m2 with this location for 100 000€, yes please! then you just install the outdoor jacuzzi, swimming pool, bbq/chill area, miniramp and some other sweet features! (the actual house is not in the pic this is just a view and the yard of the house, the house is like 30m to the right. hope it´s still for sale in 1 year and 5 months!!!

my happy new year started very chillaxing! Frida was sick so we spent it just her and me in our flat… luckily for me I only had one bottle of red wine yesterday so today I´m gonna go out and film a pretty cool thing I found 2 days ago. Me and viktor (tha filmer) went out and built it yesterday so it´s ready for some shreddy! let me tell you, building a kicker in almost -20 when the last snowfall was like 2 weeks ago and after that snow fall it got warm and after that mega coold!!! snow wasn´t like sugar, cause that would have been better it was like really really dry baby powder! hope it´s all hard and nice today though, but my guess is that today it´s the hardest kicker I have ever touch… not really feeling for hitting it today since it´s like -15 calcius today, but if you wanna get some shoots you gotta get out there!
