Jon Olsson Video Blog– In Hemsedal,norway

On the run so the post will be short..

Thought the season was over as non of the plans we had worked out, but 48h ago I found out that we could shoot in Hemsedal, so now I am about to get in the car to drive the 8h to Norway..

Crill and Mattias is leaving from Åre in a few houres to so really soon you will be able to see some nice spring kicker action… weather say good on Thuesday so I am hoping it stays like that!

So after the squats session yesterday I decided that hitting the clubs would be a smart idea, seemed like a great idea at the time and I had an awesome time partying with my friends here is sthlm that I don’t get to see much.. but the lack of sleep made its presence today and I have been super tired, not good!

And the fact that I barely can walk since my legs are so sore from yesterdays workout did not make the day feel any better, but at-least I know that I am getting stronger!

Right now I will watch a few episodes of entourage and have a great nights sleep!

Imported some pics from my camera that was pretty funny, tought I would
put them up!

Me an a 88 foot yacht in Monaco during the MSP shoot!, I like!!

After Monaco we took the lambo to Åre… it was a mission to fit everything but it worked out!

Found some snow on the way up, but the 4 wheel drive worked great!

Hope you liked!

Writing a post on this blog has been on my agenda for like 2 weeks now. but some how I don’t seem to manage to find time for it, have been a 2 week super meeting period, but luckily some really good things have come out of them!

But saying that I have been in meetings all the time would be a lie, did have some time in-between meetings in Monaco to go look at some really nice things! The worlds fastest car: (but for sure not the best looking)the Ultimate Aero (yes it is faster the the Veyron)

The Porsche Gemballa Mirage GT, probably the best sounding roadcar in the world.. totally amazing!

Discussing cars with Christian  Von Koenigsegg Owner and founder of Koenigsegg ( http://www.koenigsegg.com )

Christian giving me a ride in his own car!

I am used to beeing in nice cars but this did top all my experiences! INSANE!

And not quite as impressive but still pretty cool to be a alpine racer, Jens byggmark with his lovely girl Frida on a Monaco visit! He is so scared of my comback the he is spying on my training!

Right now we (me, mattias F and Crill) are struggling with our next shoot, we keep having bad luck with resorts cancelling on us, but hopefully today we will find out where we can go hit some big kickers! What looks the most promesing is Hemsedal, hope to find out within the next few hours.. If that is positive we all leave today and a new Videoblog will be close! haha

Stay tuned!

So I have now done the last races for the season, it turned out to be a great race and I scored some well needed points (46 yestday and 53 today) Its not a world cup win but I am getting there, slowly but surely! haha

Feels great that Head is finally realizing my potential and getting me the backup I need, the send out Bodes and Didiers tech guys to help my get the fastest skis possible, I finally decided to go with pair “160″ that Bode used for a few races this winter, they skied amazingly! Also a big thanks to my brother for helping me get the best line and tactics! Think for not beeing in the World Cup I have the best set up ever!

Leaving for some sun in Monaco tomorrow, have top rest my knees who are feeling it after all the hard skiing!

So what has happened since we last posted a vidoeblog?
I first had to stay in Åre to finish up all the work after JOSS, then I managed to fit all my stuff in the Lambo and drive it back to Stockholm only to have more meetings.

Then I went to Funesdalen for to GS FIS races, I sucked, drove 1000km to norden Finland to do two more FIS, scored a 33 the first day witch was good but sucked skiing wise, managed to crash day 2…. Then we drove 1000km back to Östersund, just made the night train to Stockholm, arrived to Stockholm 03 48 and have been trying to clean out my inbox for a few houres now…

Unfortunately the traveling is not over, I am at the Airport waiting for my flight to Oslo where I will take the train to Hamar where my brother Hans picks me up to drive all the way to Hemsedal for two FIS Super G races…( I have no idea how to ski SG, but fuck it, I am going all in!)

I cant wait to get down to Monaco wed next week for some relaxation… It truly is not to awesome traveling like I have done the last 5 days, but I need to win some good dam FIS races so I need to give it my all, I decided after my shitty performance in the last few races that I need to step up my game, so I just added 6 weeks of GS training in Hintertux in the fall.. I am sick of not winning!

Check ou the exlusive film segments from JOSS!
