It´s not always easy filming a movie. Below is a good example. Jakob, Hampus and Knut on a road trip to Montana. “Good times”. Click on the photo.
Wear your peeps people
We went to Mt Bachelor for a little more then a week. We went there for a spring park shoot for Snowboarder Mag late april and it snowed a foot every night! Crazy. They let us take our own snowmobiles in the resort. The most epic thing ever.
We where just shuttling people up and down the resort for endless pow runs. Had some of the best runs of the year for sure.
Gregory Sparecoin is making a TV show about our project. He put Hampus sled upside down in a tree in the resort. The show will be on many different TV channels, for example Fuel TV. More about that later.
Brian Fox was there, enjoying the fresh snow.
After 5 days of pow the guys drank it blue and we had one of the best days of the season.
Here we have Hampus doing a bs7 while Jake Price is getting the shot. Jake did a backflip on a NOBOARD during the trip. Craziness.
The park manager Haimes did such an amazing job with the features. We had park takeoffs to pow landings which was amazing. Thanks a lot Haimes!
A new rider to the stable did sick tricks on this jump. We will introduce him soon!
Its bad weather here so Hampus and Jakob decided to make a slam section for you guys to watch. So, I gave them some slams that we have for them to play with. The result was pretty impressive:
Hampus & Jakob Productionz Presentz:
Good day.
Last week has been fun. Been sledding around a lot in the American wilderness. Had some pretty crappy weather most of the time but luckily the sun came out here and there.
Hampus. Sending it. 
K-Nut. Triple back attack.
Right now we are in the middle of nowhere. No phone reception and the slowest internet on earth. Awesome place though! No cars, just sleds. We are sledding to the restaurants instead of driving. Roadtrippin up here was really cool. So much wildlife!
We saw: Elk, Moose, Wolf, Bald eagle, Horse, Buffalo, Dog and Deer
Found this guy in the middle of town. 
On the drive up here we got 2 flat tires. Fun. Probably gonna get 5 on our drive back.
The terrain in here is pretty awesome. We “prepared” 3 jumps yesterday and we were gonna hit them all one after one today. Kind of excited about that. But, 2nd try of the first jump the landings of all 3 jumps slid. Wide avalanche! Luckily nobody got hurt.
Jump 1,2 and 3 ruined. 
Luckily we built a 4th jump the day before. So we went there and got a good session.
Checking out spot 4.
Now its snowing here and its gonna be crappy for a while.
Knut waiting for good weather. 
Adios.
Then, when it clears up, we make the final touches and get our shred on.
Sorry for the lack of posts. We (Me, Jakob, Hampus and Knut) have been busy tearing up the snow and getting stuck.
Knut, deep trouble.
Looking at new zones.
Some of us got new snowmobiles which is really fun. Polaris 4 life. It has been a mission to get them though. Took me around 2 weeks. Not that fun.
Dusted of a really fun jump the other day. Hampus and Jakob landed so many tricks on it. It was an awesome day and in the end we sledded home with at least 6 shots in the camera bag. 8280 degrees was the total rotation count on landed tricks that day, in between 2 people.
Hampus, Jakob, Sending it.
We have also hit some other jumps…
Thru the trees..
Over it.
It has been snowing sooo much in Utah. We went riding at Brighton and it was crazy. When we hit cliffs we almost drowned in the snow since we forgot our snorkel at home. This resort is so amazing on good days.
106 Inches in 6 days (2.7 meters)
Stian Solberg in a mellow hike.
The day after we got some sunshine so we went up to the gulch again to hit 2 jumps. We all got some really good shots in the bag and it was really nice to see the sun.
After the bluebird day it started snowing again. Took the sleds up to a area with a lot of sweet pillows. We played around for an afternoon in the deep snow, got stuck with sleds, eat swedish candy and jibbed around in the parking lot.
Hampus, Knut and Stian checking out the pillows.
Stian, spray.
Got this nice photo of the Horse from our photographer friend Neil “Neir” Dacosta. Thanks Neir!
Filmer, Being rude.
It has been dumping the last week in the Salt Lake City area. So much snow. We took a short trip to Las Vegas for the S.I.A. trade show during the bad weather days which was really fun and productive.
Met up with a lot of friends and planned the season a little. We where gone for 36 hours and went straight up to the Grizzly Gulch when we got home.
After a relatively short hike we got up to the jump spot. Knut Eliassen was getting really sick at this time. Poor guy, can believe he made it up there and that he hiked the jump 15 times. I thought he was going to die. CLICK FOR VIDEO
Knut
We built a fun step down jump and had a fun session.
Jakob, sideways.
Sorry for the lack of posts. The reason is that we have been busy here in the states and that we have been sick. America is really nice. Great Mexican food, sushi and good company. The snow is also super good and it has been dumping very hard the last couple of days.
We have been trying to find new sleds in the Salt Lake City area and that has been going ok. No deals done yet though. Soon, soon…
Jakob and Hampus testing
We went up to Brighton today. Bluebird and fresh pow. Awesome.
Knut Eliassen and Jakob Wilhelmson shreddin some pow.
Looking at possible things to hit.
Knut, Bs Air into the tree
Jakob
We will announce some new riders soon! Stay tuned.
