Party time

Let the night begin !!
A little Norwegian Club time

The after party, in a barn? Why not it's Norway

Some people don't know there limits.

The harmonic man, Killing it !!!

My walk home in the Norwegian twilight

I have to say this is one of the biggest afterparties that I have ever attended. From the main party that turned in a club to the after party up in the hills of Roldal in a 300 year old hay barn. Which had a live blues band, people swinging from the rafters, fighting, hooking up and in the hay as the band layed done a smooth blue sound, it was crazy. Before I know it the sun had come up and I had partied all night long. Not to bad for my first trip to Norway, I will for sure be back to Roldal.

Norway Day 1

Norway, view from the window.

Waiting for the Bus, after 20 plus hours of travel.
Still waiting,
Here it comes, only three more hours.
Hello all,
So, where would you end up if you hopped on a plane in Utah and five planes, a taxi, a train and a three hour bus ride later? In my case central Norway in the small town of Roldal. After 31 hours of travel and four of those trapped in a small bus station watching Norwegian teens hang out and smoke ciggs. I made it to Roldal. I'm in Norway for the Roldal Freeride Challenge, the final stop of the world freeride qualifying tour for this season. Keep checking back over the week for updates.

Moab: a few more photos of the mountain biking

Check out the photos from through the lens of Adam Barker , from my recent trip to Moab.

Morning ! my favorite time of the day. (Not really)
Sunrise over the desert, it's going to be a long day
Max on the track.
Barker, Killing it in the morning light.
A handful of line to come back for someday.
At the snow line gearing up for the biking, with a shot of jager too. 
The crew checking out Castle Valley. 
Desert trying to fight off winter. Spring time is the desert is the best time to be their. 
Down in the dust and the rocks, but was up in the snow only hours ago.

hey there, just got home from a fast and furious trip down to the desert our mission was to shred the corn and or powder (or in our case breakable crust) and hop on a mountain bike and then rip the Porcupine rim trail back to the little desert town of Moab.  The crew was myself the token "athlete talent", Adam Baker the man behind the camera lens, Doug Schnitzspahn the master of pen and paper, and our local guides Max Forgensi local backcountry skier and US Forest Service Avalanche forecaster, and Kirstin Peterson of Rim Bike tours.  With snow still falling here in the SLC, I have to start to get ready to go shred. Before repacking and heading off to Silverton for the weekend.
