EASTER in Orlando Florida:) It was really good to finish my great season with a holiday there. You can not believe how much I was looking forward to going! Sun, beach, wakeboard, boyfriend! Haha... It was all there waiting for me.
My boyfriend introduces me to Ryan which is one of the guys behind the new Voda trampoline boards. He gave me some sessions and taught me how they work . Its so much fun, and so much like doing snowboard tricks indoor. They gave me a board so that I can practise at home too. Thanks guys! I just found I new fun cross/activity that will help me improve my snowboarding!:)

I also enjoy wakeboarding. In Florida I was riding at OWC which is a cable park in Orlando. Wakeboarding is like riding the snowboard park. I improve my balance and get to work on my snowboardtricks on rails and jumps. I actually just got an Interview in WAKEBOARDING MAGAZINE about how I use wakeboarding as a great alternative sport . It just came out. Check it out!

Thanks for checking in...I promise I will blogg more often in the future. And with photos:)

Last day in Mammoth



Thanks for checking in:)

Last day in Mammoth was hot as always. Clear blue sky and soft/slushy snow. I had fun, but couldn't wait to through my smelly boots in the board bag and head to FLORIDA. Cruising around with my boyfriend all day, trying to get some shots of me for a Wakeboard magazine. I struggled with energy loss after the rush I got last weekends awards and party, and only had boat, water, beach, wakeboard, flip-flops in my head...:) I still got some ok shots, not good enough for the Magazine, but good enough for my homepage.

Check them

2nd at the TTR-09

Hi there!

(Two happy girls: me and
Stine, my Team manager)

I just finished two bottles of champagne! :) ihaaaa. Well, some of it got spilt on the crowd watching me get a big check today. 25 ooo USD for 2nd overall at the TTR! And another one for finishing 3rd at the Chicken Jam slopestyle here in Mammoth. Im so stoked and surprisingly happy! I never tought about the points or how I was going to finish my season. All I wanted was to be stoked on my riding and do my very best. Thats all you can do really. Its not like I would have won if someone told me I needed the points. I was just focusing on what I could preform and try to stay calm:)
Janna Meyen 1st, Jenny Jones 2nd, Me 3rd. at the Slopestyle finals.

Pipe was yesterday and I better mention that. I ended up 5th! I qualified to the finales on 3
rd and was so happy to land my good run. In the finals the pipe got a little to slow and slushy. Rough conditions made it hard to keep the speed and amplitude. I still got one run down which placed me on a solid 5th.


TTR titles reward. 1st Kelly Clark, 2nd ME, 3rd Jamie Anderson.
(Chanelle and Kjersti accepted the price on Jamies behalf.)

I just cant believe what just happened. I'm so happy right now:)
What a way to finish one of my best seasons so far!!!I'm going to celebrate with the TTR winner Kelly Clark and my good friends Kjersti, Cheryl, Chanelle, Jenny, Basa and all the hot chicks here at the chicken jam:) haha.

2nd overall at the Burton Open series.


U.S. Open-09 is over and done. I ended up 2. behind Jamie Anderson who won the Open Series and cashed in 100 000 USD! She has been riding solid all season and unfortunately she got injured in the practise here so she couldn't ride. I really hope you feel better Jamie and I know that you will be back in no time continuing your awesome riding:) You definitely deserve the title.

I by the way, didnt land my backside 720 at the bottom jump and had to watch the finals from the tent. Bummer! I loved the course and the jumps and really wanted to ride the finals. Well, another contest coming up next week. Roxy Chicken Jam in Mammoth. I cant wait to ride there and through my 720 down.

Congrats Kjersti! She won the slopestyle and had a killer weekend winning her second Volvo of the season.

All in all I'm stoked on this week. Best results I ever had at the U.S. Open. Finishing 2nd overall is anyway a big step up for me:)

Pipe Semi-finals U.S.Open

Wow, all the girls really impressed me today. Girls were doing switch bs.720, cab 900, fs. 900 just to mention some of it!!! I missed the final by 1,5 points and one spot, ending up 9th. I landed my run which was fs. indy, mc twist, fs 540, bs air, fs 360 into a switch hakenflip. I was really happy to land my run twice today and even stepping it up from the firs run. Finishing 9th at the Burton U.S.Open-09 is pretty good considering that all the best female riders were present. Im so stoked...again.

Next up is slope style.
Course looks good and Im excited to ride tomorrow.

Chanelle is teaching Kjersti and me how to cook (homemade meatballs.)

Quarterpipe finals at U.S.Open




Oh my GOD!
I just got 2nd at the Quarterpipe night session here at the U.S.Open. Im so stoked. I don't really
ride quarterpipe (kind of never) but I really wanted to enter this one. I looked so much fun during the day. Luckily it was a jam session. That made me get use to the in run, speed and the strong compression on my legs going off that big thing.

In the 5 last minutes of the session I finally got some hight on my mc. twist and landed it clean. That put me straight on 2nd place and podium. Yeah Yeah Yeah. My friend Kjersti got 1st so now we are celebrating with champagne!

Cheers :)

Sunny days in Spain.



Thanks for checking in.

Last week has been great! Sunny and 14 pluss everyday. Luckily we started pipe training first in the morning when the pipe was still rideable. It got soooo slushy already at 10 AM and impossible to get any amplitude.
I was happy with my three training days and had some really good practice runs. Im now one step closer on reaching my goal for this season regarding combinations of tricks and amplitude. So I feel good considering where I am with my riding at this point. Still one year until the Olympics:) and my pipe riding has reached another level.


Today was contests day and I ended up 12th. Quite happy with that, but still didn't land my good run so I have more to show them! After this comp Im on 33rd position on the FIS list which means I jumped 14 spots today:) Still two more counting FIS cups to make a spot for Norway. But its all about being the best rider right before the Olympics.

Im on it!!
