We have been blessed this summer, got many days with wind. Sometimes gusty, sometimes alot, sometimes not quite enought, and sometimes perfect.
After alot of hard work and countless crashes I finally started to land more than I crash (good to know I’m moving forward atleast). August seems to be the month every year, when [...]

Never trust the weather
By kimandre in My local spotsIndeed there is something fishy about March, you can never really trust it for anything. It can be sunny with 15 degrees celcius, or you can get snow. We have gotten thru an entire winter with almost no snow, and when March arrives, somebody thinks it’s a good idea to throw down some snow!

First time on snow this year
By kimandre in My local spotsJust got back from an awesome trip to Haugastøl (Hardangervidda), where I got my first taste of snow this year.
I meet up with some old friends and made some new ones, this is what I love the most about going places. The most significant event might just have been to meet Ben up in the [...]

Again, my girlfriend was so nice to take some photos [...]
