Update
Ekstremsportveko this year was good chapter. Had a good time kayaking with friends you don't see that often. My performances was like a rollercoaster, somedays were supergood, and somedays I shouldn't even have been on the river. kickass kayaking during day, and good concerts afterwards is nothing to complain about. This years artist were Q-tip, Immortal technique and the norwegians in Datarock. Good times!
From Voss I went to Sjoa, where the nordic and national championship were held. Woke up sick day one, and was still sick day 3. My kayaking was not the best, but luckely not the worst either.
After a long day in the hole, bubblemachine( cause of to high water for eurowave) I ended up 4. in the nordic, and 2. in the nationals. That also means I'm going to Thun to participate in the Worlds in august.. Scary
Went home for a couple of days, and jumped on the train to kristiansand, and bus to evje for Mark Burtons wedding. kayaking in the morning, cakes in the afternoon and you know what comes after that. Congratulations, again!
here's some pictures from voss:
Oh yeah, I wrote this in a hurry!

summertime

Hell yeah. The first youngboaters in Hønefoss was cool. Water was low, but the sun was high. Right now I'm packing for a new 2 days of training in Kongsberg with Mariann, Tyler and the youngs.. I'm leaving directly from Kongsberg to Voss, for this years Ekstremsportveko! It will be my fourth year, and I'm superstoked on going this year! competitions..? We'll see!
From there the trip goes to skjåk and the eurowave. That's where the national championship will go down, for sure. I'll throw up some photos when I've got time, or at least I'll upload a bunch when I get back home!
have a kickass summer!
Tuesday
I'm back
Hasn't been any updates for a while, no big reason behind it. Hasn't been any kayaking since the Grand Canyon trip. The reason for that Norway is a pretty cold country, and it's been a LOT of school crap. After taking 1 month holiday from school too go kayaking, I needed to get back in class to catch up. And the big story from Canyon never got online, the reason for that the local newspaper wanted me to write them an article, so I sold it and it turned out great. I got a double A3 page before the trip, and a double A3 when I got home. People that I've just seen a couple of times before walk up to me with positive feedback. It's a great feeling.
And today it's seasonstart with a playboat trip to the local surfwave that come's up in the Glomma river every spring. The waterlevel has went up a lot the last days about 1650 now, so I'll post a picture of how it looks when I get back, meanwhile, this is how it looked on over 3000 last year. wich was a super high record! Feel the rape

FINALLY
Sorry, wasn't any internet connection in the canyon, don't know what's that about but now I'm back in Las Vegas. The trip was super nice. We had bluebird for 13 out of 17 days or something, don't know where that good karma came from! I will post pictures and more detailes later, probably when I'm back in Norway around the 21th of feb. But until that, we're checkin out what Las Vegas is all about.

London
After being 10 minutes late for checkin in London, we missed our flight to Las Vegas..
That sucked bigtime, and the last day we've been touring London, waiting for our new flight today. Doing some necessary shopping etc. We've got no time when we get to Las Vegas, have rented a car online and are driving to location right away, hopefully we'll get there in time.
Not sure if I'll get online before we put in on the river, if not I'll be back in 2 weeks!

3 days
Feeling stressed. Only 3 days left, and alot of missing pieces in the puzzle. What and how much to bring, is the question. Also, I have to choose what classes I'm having at school next year before I leave. And what the fuck, I've just gotten christmas presents. Hopefully I'll sort everything out.
Btw, pray for the dollar to go down..

Hey
Anyways
Started preparing for my trip these days, I'm going to the USA too kayak the Grand Canyon!
This fall I was so lucky to get an invitation from a friend, who was going on the trip. And for everybody who has ever seen Grand Canyon, or at least a picture knows that this is a once in a life time. I'm leaving the 28th of January, and returning to Norway the 20th February I think.
First a day or two in Las Vegas. then heading to flagstaff and making sure everythings set for the trip. Then two weeks on the river, and hopefully some skiing before departure.
Later
