Snowboard Contest Weekend

So there was a snowboard contest here this weekend.

Read more about it here:
Video.
Pikturs.

As well as some plastic boxes for the skiers to play on. Extreme.




Iikka hangin at Medborgarplatsen. The Forum crew filmed like half of their movie "That" in this park.
This spot is where Eddie Wall jumped over the fence.
Watch Eddie´s part here.





This is at the garage of the Sheraton Hotel. Much of the Stockholm skate scene in the 90´s took place here.
It was pretty much the best place to skate in the winter. It´s still outside, but has a roof.
Nothing like the skate parks the spoiled kids have today.
There was a little get together on Saturday at the garage.
Jens Andersson was showing his photos from the 90´s there and lots of 30+ skaters showed up to reminisce.
Read more about the Sheraton book "Sheraton Years" here.
Here´s a video part with Martin Karlsson from
the early 90´s with a lot of shots from the infamous garage.






This is what I woke up to on Saturday morning. Well it was more like lunchtime cause when I came back home earlier that morning there was no snow on the streets.


Iikka at the DC Sweden suv. Looks kinda grandma to me, the car I mean.


The crowd at the stadium.


Davva S and Vinca playin tunes in the tent at the contest.



This is what Stockholm looked like today, after a 20 hour hurricane.
Kind of makes me wish I was out boarding, or filming boarding.
Anyone gotta job for me?

Seriously I want to film some snowboarding.
