Well, the skiseason is not here yet, but I found out that a pre-season competion called ''Make it happen'' were going down in Østersund this weekend. And we went there right away.
Make it happen is a railjam tour created by Steepstore, Steepstore is a sweedish store that sales hoodies etc. This year it is 4 stops around in Sweeden and the winner of each jam would get the chance to compet with the other winners in the big final. The final is in Klappen, scandinavians best ski resort. But it's also an online video qualification for thoose who couldn't make it to any of the stops.
Anyway, the railsetup in Østersund was good, it was a flatbox and a flatdown box (kinkbox). It was 50 people that competed for a gold ticket to the final, both skiers and boarders. Magnus and I liked the flatdown box a lot and we went pretty crazy on that. Magnus stomped some crazy tricks and combos, I tried to step it up and I'm satisfied with the railjam. At the end the judges took out 8 skiers to compete in the local final. Magnus came in this group with a lot of swedish skiers as Frej Jønson, Victor Hørnfeldt and a sick skiier called Sakarias Majander. Almost everyone failed in the final, but Steepstore rider Frej Jønson put down some steezy tricks and he got the final ticket. I think it's awsome that Steepstore made this event happend, we should totally have something like this in Norway to! Anyway, it was a sick weekend! Totally worth it.
Btw Gina skied very vell, she did a 270on to swup on the flatbox and she tried swup on the flatdown box.
Here is some pics from the weekend:
