After a pretty smooth (but long) day of traveling I made it to Boston where Warner (left) and Dane (right) picked me up, love the fact that I did not have to get a rental car and figure everything out by myself, was fantastic to just get in the back seat and lean back!

Casa de Warner!

Fantastic view!

And then jet lagged came and stabbed me!  Hurting right now, cant wait to get a long nights sleep and head to the hill in the morning, I know Warner told me 10 times where we are going but my brain seems to have shut of the memory part, so I guess I will have to get back to you on that one!

Feel good to be out traveling again, for some weird reason I seem to relax more and find it easier t focus on the important things!

See you in the morning!

BTW, I was closer then ever to missing my flight this morning, I left MC 64 mins before my flight was supposed to leave, at that point I had half my stuff in the car so a repack at the airport was needed, left the car at the short term parking for Marcus to pick it up later. He fund it with both front windows down… I guess I was in a hurry…

I am still in bed and its 05.42, fist fighting with my inbox, have not yet started packing and I need to be in the car at 06.10 to head to the airport… You would have thought that I should have learnt to plan by now…

See you in the Boston!

Comment: Good luck with the transportation  To be a bit negative! I truly love your blog, but why dont you give us more information about what's happening? Had no clue about Nor Ams, and that you were shooting with Fields in Limone, or why Josh disappeared and so on.. Mor info pls 

I don't think you could be more right!  So easy to just get caught up in trying to cover what is going on for the moment and miss out on the long term things… Will for sure work on this, great to get feedback from you guys!

But since I have to get up at around 3am to finish  packing and dealing with cars I will not give you the full "future plan" right now. But I guess it could be good to know that I am flying over to Boston in the morning for a few FIS races, US Nationals and most importantly Nor Am finals!

Will be back soon with a more complete spring plan!

Thanks for all the help with car transport, really appreciate it! Will let you know as soon as I know how things work out, but I am way closer to a solution now then I was this morning!

Good night!

JON

Anyone knows of any good Car transport companies or other solutions to ship two cars from MC to Sweden asap?

Maybe someone owns a car transporter and wants to make a buck?

If you have any useful info on this I would would kill for it!  I have been prosponing a solution for this way to long instead of dealing with it in time and now its panic like usual…

Thanks in advance!

JON

Good morning!

I was struggling to get my eyes open today, but after an e mail containing a link to this movie I finally woke up, one of the funniest youtube clips I have seen in a long time! (Thanks to Global Play Boy!)

My personal favorite has to be the hair pulling, or what do you guys think? 

Time to get out of bed, crank up the coffee maker and get to work, have so much stuff to do before I fly out to Boston for the US nationals and Nor Am finals tomorrow! JON

And then we went out, feel pretty good now though, seems that champagne-Redbull is a keeper, never feel this good in the morning! Or maybe I am still so stoked on yesterdays session that everything is just great!

Today is dealing with Gumball paper day!

See you soon!

I dont care how big it his, how nice the weather is or how turquoise the water is…

It will never come close to an afternoon on a perfect kicker and the kick it delivers!

I just got back from a surprise session in Limone, weather forecast was not very good so I did not have any expectations, but much to our surprise the weather was perfect and I had one of the best sessions I have had in a long time!

There must have been almost 1000 people watching me an Joni Malmi hit the jump cheering us on on the way to the top. I was hoping to get som Tordaos done and get that to 14, but the kicker was a bit sketch switch so I had to change plans and decided it was time to work on some different grabs in my dubs.

Josh had to levae so you are stuck with my mini cam shots, full shots will be in Fields new movie next year!

After a couple of hours I finally had the dub cork 10 and 12 with nose grab, I cant believe that I have not tried it before, so much easier then saftey and japan! Either way it felt great to get them down and it felt much more natural then I thought it would! Now I can be live ever one else…;-)

But best off all was that I had the complete feeling of satisfaction in my body, I felt totally in peace with my life and what I am doing, I felt that I was trying my best and pushing myself as hard as I could. Something that I have found is the best recipe for happiness in my live!

Super happy right now!  Cant wait for JOSS to come around so that I get to try more new things!

Dinner time, see you soon!

JON

So first off, sorry for being a sucky blogger over the past few days!

After building the jump, getting up at 5am for 14 days straight, ski racing when not in the ski cat, I was pretty beat after we finally got to hit the kicker, especially as a cold was sneaking up on me.

So i had to try to take a bit of a "time out" from the "high speed perfection life". I did so and had a good time, went shopping, looked at cars and boats and even did a bit of clubbing. 

To be honest I am not sure how good it was, I feel way better when I get up early and ski hard, I just realise every time I "chill" how much better I feel when I work hard and give everything I do 100%. However I cant spend my life with a 5 am wake up call, so I need to work on my balance for this kind of things! ( I feel like a king right now after 40 emails and a blog post before 7am haha)

Could write forever about my thoughts about "life balance", how to handle the "Lala land of Monaco" and how I am trying to find the balance between work dedication and the life enjoyment side of life. I think I will save that one for later, kind of a really hard subject to make sense in and really get my thought through… All I can say is that the older I get and the more aware of this I get, the more I feel that its important to keep my eyes open and secure both feet  on the ground…

Its a fine line to walk,  to make it even thinner we went boat hunting…;-)

Me and my friend Marcus (who I visited in Singapore in Sept) went and looked at this Riva "Rivarama",  truly amazing!

The only problem is that the more amazing things like this I look at and get into, the more I feel that the balance in life is harder to find. Its like I love it and its all I ever dreamed of, but it almost scars me a little how insane my life has become, but at the same time its very motivating!

No results- No play!

Time to hit the slopes and try my best at the one thing that matters, then I can think about things like this!
