Winner

I'm a born winner. No, just kidding. But I was part of the winning team in this years Transworld Shoot Out video/photo contest.

Last year I did the DC one. It was not the greatest, but we had a pretty fun week and that's what counts in my book.
Every Swede is raised my the motto: it's the participating that counts. Whereas other cultures tend to only count gold medals.

Iceland takes gold at X-Games

Here are Halldor´s fs 10 and bs 12, and a perfect 100 score.



Here´s their own edit, taken from their blog www.helgasons.com

Halldor winns X Games Big Air with Best possible score!!! from www.helgasons.com on Vimeo.

If you don´t remember last years text judging fiasco you can go here to see how you make a mockery out of the riders.





Stoked for Mikkel, Torstein and Halldor, hope they kill it in slopestyle today as well. They qualified top 3 so I hope they end up top 3 as well.

Air & Style.

I used to go to this contest for years. I might have been to 6-7 of them? My first one was around 1996 I think.

It was always a good time to see my friends win a lot of money.

Today Marko Grilc won and I'm totally exited for him. Andreas Wiig got third place. I only caught the every end of the broadcast so I don't know what happened during the contest.
What I do know is that I wish David Benedek would have entered again and won with the trick he did a couple of years ago. Fs 1260 double dip.

Here's Marko's and Andreas' tricks from tonight. Congratulations guys.
