Photo's from Folgefonna with the Actionhorses

Here are some photo's from the last couple trips i've had to Folgefonna with the Actionhorse crew, besides going there for the nightshoot with Frode Sandbech.
I've stolen some pictures from friends who were there who had their own camera, since I only use my iPhone these days, after my brand new Lumix got stolen at this years SuperPark in Mammoth in May.... (I hope the person who stole my shit dies)

Try-outs

Late night cliff diving at 11.30pm

Folgefonna is the dopest place in Scandinavia if you want some summer shredding and minimal liftline's.

Next mission, try to enjoy the Norwegian summer rolling through the next couple of days.
Stay tuned

Folgefonna 21st of July

So me and my brother woke up at 06.am the next day after the Brann match, drove into Bergen (Only 5 minutes) and picked up our Friend Oddvar. Drove another 20 minutes a little south of Bergen to where Oddvar has a little boat floating around and started loading it up to leave to a place called Austevoll, which is outside of Bergen where you can either take a Ferry or a little boat like we did to get too.

We had to go there to pick the main boat we were going to take all the way into Jondal, which is at the base of Folgefonna. And for those of you who aren't following me, YES, we took a boat to go snowboarding instead of driving there. That's the beauty of summer time when you can actually do these things!!

And so we made it to Jondal and had a little struggle getting up to the Glacier because we missed the buses that go up there by a half an hour. But it all worked out pretty well.
We got a ride from a nice local man, and we met up with Emil Fossheim, who is an awesome guy, and he builds the park up there. We snowboarded for a couple of hours and then decided to build pretty sweet jump to have ready for a nightsession. For the record, Folgefonna has the dopest sunsets right after Chile.
The jump was finished and we hooked up with the boys who were to main reason why we came to Folgefonna. The dudes were Frode Sandbech( one of the sickest photogs out there) and fellow teammates on 32/Etnies, Danny Larsen (Look him up in the pirate movie productions) And Frode's little brother Staale Sandbech (Check him at www.thirtywo.com)
We had an epic sunset session, but you won't see any of those photo's yet.........

The next morning we went for a little diving session of the boat we slept in and then left since the weather got a little crappy overnight.

We left right after the diving session to go back to Austevoll, and change boats to go back to Bergen. But when we got back to Austevoll we came across this bad boy>>>

And had to take it for a little rip.....

70 miles an hour I might have to add.

Stay tuned for some pictures from and earlier trip to Folgefonna in the beginning of July I had with the Actionhorse crew.....

Bye for now

Missing in Action

Yes... I'm back. I've been missing in action a little bit lately. This being caused by me painting my room at my new house in Geilo,














and traveling back to my hometown in Bergen and attending a soccer match between my team (Which is called Brann) against Aalesund.
Me and my brother had our first visit to the stadium and it was sick. We went with our good Friend Oddvar who's family has a sick booth, where they served us dinner before the game and then as many free beers and bottles of Wine we wanted during and a couple of hours after the game. Brann ended up losing 2-1, but we left there with smiles on our faces. At least I did, maybe it was the free beer, but honestly, who know's??

The next day we left for a trip to Folgefonna in a non traditional kind of way. We'll get back to that in my next post......

Welcome to my Blog

I created this blog today on July 8th, after watching the news on NOrwegian TV2 a my house in the mountain's. More specifically Geilo Norway.
I thought creating a Blog would be kinda Trendy, since we live in a trendy world nowadays. This Blog might be confusing to some sometimes, just because I will be writing in Norwegian when I feel like it.
Stay tuned for more updates following the next couple of days, weeks and months.
I have to go put a pizza in the oven now...
